Obituary of Michael John Ripley

 

Michael John Ripley passed away on December 15th, 2023.


Mike was born on December 27th, 1971 to parents Richard and Jeanne.


Those who knew Mike best would describe him as incredibly talented and very witty with a beautifully sarcastic sense of humor. Mike had a pure heart that loved large.
He was most proud of his guitar building business – Jackal Guitars. Those who did business with Mike knew he was fair and honest. Mike’s specialty was building Randy Rhoad’s flying V replicas. He painstakingly made sure that every detail was respected. His guitars are still circulating the globe.


Mike is survived by many friends and family. He is also survived by his favorite feline, Caspurr.


Your time has come to fly free of pain. We will miss you forever, Michael John.
