Not sure this is the right forum, but he would appreciate being honored. Shocked to read that Chris Lippincott , 47, passed away from pneumonia (not Covid related). Some may have known him or have seen him at the Disch.
Chris was a very avid Texas Baseball fan, sitting in Section 2, keeping score, and watching his beloved 'Horns, rarely missing a game. The most congenial, the most respected, one of the most intelligent persons you will meet. I would encourage you to read the complete story of his life below.
Thoughts and prayers for his wife and children.
Excerpts:
Outside of his family, Lippincott's real love was UT baseball. During his time as an undergraduate, Lippincott would haul his books to games believing that spectating would amount to some form of studying, according to friends
Lippincott was a fixture at Longhorn baseball games where he could often be seen on the first base line. His wife noted that even from a hospital bed, he followed UT's recent run to the College World Series.
"He said, 'Hey how bad can it be when I can watch Longhorn baseball on the TV here at the hospital?'" Elizabeth Lippincott said.
Later his spirits were lifted by being placed in a hospital room at St. David's Hospital that afforded him a view of the UT Tower and Royal-Memorial Stadium.
