Bubba was born February 22, 1979 to Roy and Sandra Tindell in Waco. Bubba played sports all during his youth. After graduating Robinson High School in 1997, he began a career in the Air Conditioning field. He enjoyed his work and continued working in the field for 15 years. Due to his ongoing battle with cancer, Bubba retired in 2012 from Carrier Enterprise in Waco. He loved watching his son, Jordan play sports, daughter, Shelby dancing, and son, Jaxon's everyday antics. Bubba was a sports fanatic and loved to watch all kinds of sports especially those Baylor Bears. Bubba will be remembered by his witty sense of humor and joking with friends and family. Bubba's faith grew tremendously as he battled with cancer. Bubba, Keri and his family attend First Woodway Baptist Church.
He was preceded in death by his grandparents Roy Tindell, James and Mae Ryno, and Gladys Adler.
Bubba is survived by the joys of his life, wife, Keri Tindell and children, Jordan, Shelby, and Jaxon Tindell. He is also survived by his parents Roy and Sandra Tindell; parents-in-law, Jackie and Larry Adler; sister, Kim Burks and husband, Elijah, and their children, Trey, Brandi, Aaron, and Alyssa; sister, Tina Braziel and husband, Chris, and their children, Ashley and Bradyn; sister-in-law, Shari Brewer and husband, Mark, and her children, Megan, Mallory, and Maddie.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the Tindell Family Fund at Independent Bank in Woodway for the benefit of his children or the American Cancer Association.
The family would like to thank Providence Hospice Place, MD Anderson, and all of Bubba's doctors, nurses, and staff for their loving care, which gave us 9 more years after his diagnosis.
The family would also like to especially thank their family, friends, church family, Rocket family, Midway family, and MLL baseball family for their continued love, prayers and support during this journey.
The family would like to thank God above all for his beautiful creation we lovingly call, "our Bubba."
