Sean Tingstrom Obituary

Sean was a loving father, son, brother, uncle, friend. He was loved by many.

He was born October 7, 1975, to Gary and Rose Tingstrom. He left this earth May 24, 2023, after a long battle with congestive heart failure.

He was raised and spent the majority of his life in Yucca Valley, California.

Everyone who knew Sean, loved him. He had a great personality and a contagious laugh. His smile could light up a room. His boys, his parents, as well as his grandsons and his friends, meant everything to him. Sean was a respectable and kind hearted man.

Sean loved adventure. He loved going to concerts, going to the river, he loved camping and video games, and he really loved the Raiders.

Sean is survived by his father, Gary Tingstrom, his two boys, Gabriel Tingstrom and Damien Tingstrom, his brother Michael Phelps, his sister, Laurie Phelps, his brother Monte Phelps and his two grandsons.

He was preceded in death by his mother, Rose Tingstrom (2021), and his son Drake Eliot Tingstrom (2001).

Sean will be missed beyond measure but we take comfort in knowing he is no longer suffering and he is now with his mom and son again.

We will be having a celebration of his life in the upcoming weeks.
