Cole Allen Tindell

Cole Allen Tindell, 70, of Osburn, ID, passed away at his home on January 18, 2025. He was born on December 30, 1954, in Burbank, CA. He was preceded in death by his father, Clyde and his mother, Irene (Lacey) Tindell.

Cole followed in the footsteps of his grandfather and father and was a skilled carpenter by trade. Given some lumber, a hammer and nails, he could build almost anything.

Cole loved the outdoors and enjoyed camping, hiking and backpacking. It wasn’t uncommon for him to walk 20+ miles just for some exercise. Cole had an exceptional memory and when asked, he could quickly rattle off names of people, places, birthdays, dates and such almost instantly and without hesitation. 

Cole was talented in mathematics and could easily solve number problems in his head, without the need for pen and paper. His love of numbers helped fuel his interest in Numismatics and one of his favorite hobbies, collecting and trading coins.

Cole loved people and enjoyed visiting with them. His gift of “gab” and hospitality was evident and felt by everyone around him. He often could be found sitting in his breezeway surrounded by friends and family enjoying a cool drink or BBQ together.

Cole had strong faith and was a born again believer in his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. He enjoyed reading and discussing the Bible and he and his wife, Linda, spent much time together in prayer. Although Cole is gone from here, God’s Word offers us hope: To be absent from the body, is to be present with the Lord. 2 Cor. 5:1-8. All who accept Jesus as their Lord and Savior will spend eternity together with Him. John 3:16. 

Cole is survived by his loving wife, Linda (Malloy) Tindell, his sister, Roxanna (Keith) Lilienthal, his brother, Greg (Lisa) Tindell, three daughters, one son, three nephews, a niece and numerous grandchildren.

 A celebration of Cole’s life will be held at a later date.
