Rip's life started relatively regularly, as he was raised with his family on a pig farm in Montana. When Rip and his brother were young, his parents got divorced. However, on 14 July 1997, Rip’s life changed forever. As he lived on the farm with his mother and brother, his violent step dad came back to destroy his family. During the attack, after becoming unconscious, Rip woke up and found his brother dead on the floor and his stepdad stabbing his mother. Rip managed to kill his stepdad by breaking his skull with a frying pan. Later, Rip was found asleep in a barn with blood all over it. Rather than report it, John gave Rip a second chance. He picked him up as a ranch hand, and Rip became a Dutton family member.

Rip has no legal record in the show. After John finds Rip, John wipes him off the public record to protect him from identification in his stepfather's murder, which means he hasn't got a birth certificate. So we can assume he's probably 40. Although we don't know the year, Beth said his birthday would be September 28th. When Rip made a new start at Yellowstone Dutton Ranch, he left behind his former life, including ignoring his birthday.
