Beautiful summary of a life well-lived. I remember Mr. and Mrs. Tighe graciously hosted a pack of college kids from Rice at their home when we headed for a memorable ski trip to Taos, NM. Prayers for peace and healing to the family.

Condolences to the Tighe family. Mr. Tighe was an outstanding person, professional, and friend. I worked closely with Mr. Tighe on numerous cases where he represented the City of Midland Police Department during my 28+ years with the department. Mr. Tighe was a man of ethics, dignity, and respect who was always encouraging and supportive of justice and the truth. Mr. Tighe supported the "Invest in a Vest" bullet proof vest campaign for the police department. I will forever remember Mr. Tighe for his kindness, leadership, and service. May God welcome Mr. Tighe into his kingdom.

The Tighe family has been close to the Moody family ever since Rush and Charlie both attended Rice, went to law school at UT, worked at Baker Botts together, then moved to Midland together. Please accept the sympathy and sincere condolences of all the Moody children. Love, Tom, Catherine, Brad and Morgan Moody
