Joseph Alan Lindquist, age 60, passed away and went home to be with our Lord and Savior on August 8, 2019 doing what he loved to do camping and hiking in the desert. Just him and God in the desert outside of Blythe.

Joe was born December 22, 1958 in Omaha, Nebraska to Donald and Hazel Lindquist. He was preceded in death by his father Donald Leo Lindquist, Sister Sharon (Lindquist) Bravo and Sister in Law Freddie May Lindquist. He attended Palo Verde High School and graduated in 1978.

Joe loved the Lord and witnessed no matter where he was. He attended many of the churches in Blythe. First Southern Baptist he considered his home church but also attended Calvary Chapel, Higher Vision and many others. There wasn't a Pastor or church that did not know him. In his earlier years he was a troubled man but Our Lord found him and kept him on the right road over the years.

Joe loved his family, his children and grandchildren. His passions in life were serving the Lord, baseball, football, fishing, camping and hiking. He was dedicated to Blythe Little League. He wanted to make sure the fields were safe and ready for the kids to play on. In addition, he also coached for many years.

He loved going into the surrounding desert, exploring the many wonders of the area just outside Blythe. His favorite place however was Joshua Tree Nation Park west of Blythe and near Indio. As kids we spent many times with our parents exploring its many wonders, these beautiful memories stayed with Joe. Joe would often go camping to clear his mind and be closer to the Lord.
