On Saturday, April 4, 2020, our good friend, Jamie Tinley of Hilmar, CA passed away from a sudden heart attack at the age of 55 years old while visiting his father in Southern California. Jamie was rushed to the hospital, but he did not survive after doctors attempted to do a procedure to save him.  His sudden passing has devastated his family; the community he resides; his work colleagues at Elim Elementary,  Connecting Waters Charter School, and CSU Stanislaus; and those who knew him from the numerous organizations he was involved in.  

Jamie was one of the most kind, compassionate, friendly, helpful, and caring people you could ever meet as so many of his friends and family can attest. He loved his wife of 30 years, Ronda, and their five children (and son-in-law) with his whole heart. They were his pride and joy.  According to his wife Ronda, "Yesterday (Saturday) was one of the hardest and most unbelievable days of my life. My husband, Jamie, passed away because of a heart attack. While I know God must have a purpose for this, right now I just wish that Jamie hadn't been taken from us so soon. Jamie was a wonderful husband, father, and person. He touched the lives of anyone he came in contact with."  

There will be numerous expenses as Ronda and her family lay their beloved husband/dad to rest. So many are heartbroken for them as they struggle to pick up the pieces of their lives and move forward.  This is a crazy time in our world already, and this sweet family has to say goodbye during an especially difficult time. If you can donate in any way big or small to help Ronda ease some financial burdens at this time, it would be greatly appreciated. So many people love the Tinley family!!

ALL donations go directly to Ronda Tinley's bank account. 

Sincerely,
