David Christian Lindley
November 14, 1963 – June 26, 2017
Master sailor, expert bow-hunter, fisherman and much loved son, father, life partner, brother and uncle.
David started sailing at 5 years of age and continued honing his skills to become expert by his teen-age years. He continued sailing as an adult as often as possible (as both crew and skipper) until he physically couldn’t manage the task. After years of illness David died at his home Monday evening, June 26th, at age 53.
David was born in Olympia, WA to parents David H & Ruth, joining older sisters Barbara & Kathy. He graduated from Olympia High School in 1982 and studied naval architecture until he found he needed a job to fund his sailing hobby. He worked for a printing firm for years and ultimately was employed by the Washington State Department of Printing.
David is survived by his father David H (Sharon) Lindley, mother Ruth (Mel) Steffenson, son Trevor Christian Lindley, life partner Barbara Dudley Lindley (granddaughter Paxton), sisters Barbara Welch and Kathryn (Todd) Kincaid, nieces Sarah (Stacy) Gosney (children Garrett & Hayden), Karina Lee (children Kally, Ayla & Elli), Katie Rains, and nephews Daniel Wilson-Rains, Colten and Kyler Lundy. He was predeceased by brother-in-law Jerry Welch and nephew Bryan Wilson-Rains.
There will be a private gathering for family and close friends at a later date.
