Tipton "Tip" Craig Kindel

Tip passed away unexpectedly on Friday, February 28, 2025 at the age of 81.

Tip built a distinguished career in journalism and communications. He worked for many years as a reporter and producer for KCRA Channel 3 before transitioning to a role as the Assistant Director of Communications for the California Department of Corrections. His dedication to his profession left a lasting impact on those he worked with and the communities he served.

Beyond his career, Tip was a loving and devoted husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, and friend. His warmth and kindness touched many lives, and his presence will be deeply missed by all who knew him.

A Celebration of Life is planned for April 19, 2025, at 1 p.m. 3262 Marysville Blvd., Sacramento, CA. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Tip's memory to Shriners Hospital for Children Northern California or the Sacramento SPCA.
