Steven L. Tingley, 50, of Chatham, died Monday, Aug. 17, at home.
He was the son of Edward W. and Thelma W. Tingley of Chatham.
Steve was born on April 15, 1965 in Chester County. He grew up in West Grove and Chatham, and graduated from Avon Grove High School, class of 1983. Steve spent many years working in the mushroom business, and more recently in construction.
Surviving him, in addition to his parents, are his three sisters, Stephanie Swan of Huntingdon, and her two children, Nadine R. and Michael C. Swan, Joy Tingley of Landenberg, and April Kellett or Nottingham, and her husband Randolph W. Kellett Sr. and their two sons, Chase A. and Austin L. Kellett.
He was proceeded in death by his maternal grandparents, Chester and Alma Weidner, and his paternal grandparents, Worrell and Verna Tingley.
Steve’s casket was hand crafted by his lifelong friend Rick Bartholomew from the ash and cherry trees growing on his Vermont family farm, a place Steve loved to visit.
Steve was an avid outdoorsman who loved to hunt, fish, and explore especially in upstate and central Pennsylvania and Vermont. The joy of his life was spending time with his niece and nephews. Steven had a life-long love of dogs, and for several years Steve, and his beloved sidekick Pete were inseparable, and a common sight in the area. Steve was outgoing and made friends everywhere he went. He was charismatic and entertaining, and could find humor in any situation. He was a foodie in the truest sense of the word, always eager to try new things. Friends will remember his many memorable dinners and parties. The world is a little less bright without him in it.
