Christopher Tindall Obituary

Christopher Brill Tindall 59, passed away July 17, 2011. Born in Waltham, Massachusetts, September 13, 1951. Chris was a long time resident of Tucson. He is survived by his son, Daniel Tindall Gonzalez; sisters, Lois Ann Johnson and Rosemary Tindall-Gibson as well as niece, Annie Rose Tindall-Gibson. Chris graduated from Palo Verde High School and attended Yavapai Community College and the University of Arizona. An avid outdoorsman, he was most happy when in the wilderness camping, fishing, hiking and kayaking. He also pursued amateur photography and motorcycling. After living ten years in Alaska, Chris returned to the desert that had captured his heart early in life. Redfield and Arravipa Canyons were two of his favorite areas. A Memorial Service, to be held in September, will be announced at a later date. Donations may be made in his memory to The Nature Conservancy with specifications to be used for land conservation within the states of Arizona and Alaska. Arrangements are being handled by BRING'S MEMORIAL CHAPEL, 236 S. Scott Ave.

Chris was always kind and generous to me. I loved his refined mountain man demeanor - tall, powerful, deep melodic voice, crazy hair, gentle, and good looking. He belonged in the outdoors, where he worked and spent as much free time as he could. I remember well a backpacking trip we made with him into Redfield Canyon, one of his favorite spots. His good spirit lives on, roaming out there, elsewhere, and through our memories. God bless!

Friends & family of Chris- I was saddened to learn of the passing of Chris years ago. I don't know if this registrar is still updated/maintained? Rosemary, I met you more than 40 yrs ago when you visited Chris at home on the Westside of Tucson! I'll never forget Chris, He left such a positive memory on me. With His rugged good looks; I often told Him that He reminded me of the lumberjack on a roll of Brawny paper towels...Chris would smile & shake His head in denial! I wish I had stayed in contact w/Chris through the years. Gone way too soon. Randy (Rio Rico) June '23.

Dear Rosemary and Lois, I grieve with you at the loss of your dear brother.Chris had such a wonderful way with people. We adventured together in this beautiful Sonoran desert during our formative years.I can still see him riding in front of me on either his Suzuki 500 Titan or that gorgeous gold R75/5. Sincerely yours.
