Solomon Stipati

Solomon Stipati passed on to be with our Heavenly Father on Thursday, September 14, 2023 at age 20.  He is survived by his parents, Shawn & Gladis Stipati and Eric Jones; siblings, Graciela Genesis Gastelum, Moses Stipati, and Elijah Stipati; grandfather, David Gastelum; grandmother, Rosemarie Stipati; great grandmother, Winona Stipati; uncle, Olegario Gastelum; aunts, Cassandra Bush (Johnny) and Daisy Gastelum (Joaquin Sanchez); his love, Saraí Garcia Gastelum; and too many cousins whom he loved to name and other extended family and friends.  He also leaves behind his two dogs, Nala and Juice whom he adored.  Solomon was preceded in death by his grandmother, Graciela Fregoso and grandfather, Frank Stipati and his beloved dog, Stone.  He had graduated high school and was pursuing a career in welding while working a full time job.  He was a great role model to his younger siblings.  He enjoyed playing soccer, loved to make music, gaming with his friends, working out and his smile lit up the room.  Solomon was a light for his family.  The first scripture Solomon committed to memory was Romans 14:8 “If we live, we live for the Lord; if we die, we die for the Lord. So, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord.”  Those words will bring much comfort in the days to come to his family.  Solomon would want for all of us to just keep on swimming.  Visitation will be Thursday, September 21, 2023 from 5:00 p.m. until 7:00 p.m. at Walker Chapel Funeral Home.  The funeral service will be Friday, September 22, 2023 at 11:00 a.m. with burial to follow in Walker Chapel Memorial Gardens.  The family invites everyone to join them for a repast beginning at 1:30 p.m. immediately following the service at:
Fultondale Event Center 
2980 Hawkins Ln
