Earl W. Tidball, 73, passed away on August 29, 2019 at the University of Washington Medical Center in Seattle, Washington. He was born September 19, 1945, in North Dakota, the son of Esley Gordon Tidball and Florence Ione Giddings.

After a two-year tour of service in the Army, Earl graduated from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo in 1972 with a degree in Environmental Engineering. He spent many years working in California, Washington, and Montana, specializing in HVAC for industrial and medical facilities.

Earl enjoyed spending time with his horses, fishing, camping, hiking, and being with his friends and family, especially his four granddaughters. He had a life-time fascination with learning how things worked. He was a patient, caring person who was often helping others. His loving smile and sense of humor will be greatly missed by all who knew him.

Earl is survived by his long-time companion, Lana Hamilton; sons, Brian (Cindy) Tidball and Jeremy (Erica) Tidball; beloved granddaughters, Laura, Natalie, Esley, and Kylie; brothers, Larry (Barbee) Tidball and Paul (Marti) Tidball; nieces and nephews, Heather (Christopher) Thomas, Brenda Short, and Paul G. Tidball; former wife Marcia Tidball; special friends Dean (Amber) Hamilton and Carmen Moos; and many others. Earl was predeceased by his parents.
