Rocky Lindell

Rocky Vernon Lindell was born in Wenatchee, WA, on October 25, 1929, with his identical twin brother, Bill Lindell. He passed away in East Wenatchee, WA, surrounded by his loving family on November 15, 2023. He will be remembered for his calm demeanor, kindness, integrity, compassion, dry sense of humor and fierce love of his family. Rock was a son to Vada and Rocky, an inseparable brother to his twin, Bill, a hero to his family, a loving and supportive husband to Casey, and a friend with a heart of gold. He grew up in Hoquiam and Aberdeen, WA, and graduated from Weatherwax High School, in 1948. He attended the UW for undergraduate and law school where he was elected as Student Body President and President of his fraternity Delta Kappa Epsilon. These experiences encouraged him to later run for higher political office. His college was interrupted by the Korean War and he served in the U.S. Navy, AF Fasron 895. While at the UW, he met and married Kathleen (Casey) Connor. Rocky and Casey raised four children together (Lori, Londi, Matt and Marla) in Shoreline, WA. Rocky began his law practice in 1956, and shortly thereafter, formed his own law firm in Seattle with Dick Krutch, his law partner for 50 years (the firm continues today as Krutch Lindell Bingham Jones). He also served in the Washington State House of Representatives several terms. Rocky was an avid sports enthusiast starting with high school team sports (basketball, football, and track), continuing with adult league basketball and softball and later tennis, skiing, golf, pickleball, boating, hunting and fishing. Rocky and Casey enjoyed years of traveling the world and later, dividing their time between East Wenatchee during the summer and Palm Desert, CA, in the winter. He is survived by his loving wife of 67 years, Casey; four adoring children: Lori (Paul), Londi (Bill), Matt (Emily), Marla (Marty); twin brother, Bill (Linda); seven grandchildren: Connor, Courtney, Elle, Barrett, Cami, Kayleigh, Rocky; and two great-grandchildren: Georgia and Lucy. There will be a Celebration of Rocky's Life at a later date for his immediate family. He will be sadly missed by all who knew him.
