Jason Patrick Tindle, 46, of Moberly, went to his heavenly home, July 11, 2024, in his home surrounded by his family. He was born April 13, 1978, in Columbia, Missouri to Jim and Irene (Schmidt) Tindle.

He was preceded in death by his grandparents Leo and Peggy Schmidt, and Dewey and FayeTindle.

He was a lifelong member of St. Pius X Catholic Church, attended St. Pius X School, Moberly Public Schools, and Linn Technical College. He was employed as a machinist by KnernschieldManufacturing Company of Columbia. Jason’s and our family’s lives were forever changed on October 8, 1998 after a motor vehicleaccident, in which Jason sustained a traumatic brain injury (TBI). Jason’s love of life and faith were unshaken after the TBI. He overcame every obstacle thrown at him and continued to livelife to the fullest.

He loved horseback riding and continued at Cedar Creek Therapeutic Riding Center until unable to ride his favorite horse “Clyde”.  As much as he loved riding Clyde, riding in his dream car, a1957 Chevy is the only thing that could compare. He also enjoyed playing games, beating everyone at Connect 4, listening to country music, watching comedy or action/comedy movies,telling jokes, and more than anything, fishing. He was a big fan of the Kansas City Chiefs and St. Louis Cardinals. He decorated his room every Christmas with St. Louis Cardinal ornaments!  He was a whiz at “Jasonisms”, making sure everyone knew what a weird spelling some words had, and always wanted to let you know what words made him think of. He loved attending Mass and singing. He was a people person who loved his family and close friends with all his heart. Jason believed in the power of prayer, and always thought of others FIRST. The word “I” was never in his vocabulary. When asked how he was doing it was always marvelous, spectacular, stupendous, or fantabulous! He loved giving the nephews and nieces “rides” on his wheelchair, attending their sporting events, and cheering them on! He loved racing his wheelchair with anyone who was willing! He has forever changed the lives of anyone he has ever met.

Memorial contributions to Cedar Creek Therapeutic Riding Center or St. Pius X Catholic Church would be appreciated.

Words of comfort and support were shared with the family at a visitation that was held at the Cater Funeral Home, concluding with a Rosary.    A Mass of Christian Burial was  held at the St. Pius X Catholic Church.   Committal prayer and burial followed in St. Mary’s Cemetery.
