John Harold Martindale, 51 year old Burley resident passed away Tuesday, March 10, 2015. John was born July 20, 1963 in Mannheim, Germany, the son of John and Elsa Martindale. John was a very special man that touched all our hearts with all of his love. He was born with Cerebral Palsy and lived a very strong happy life. He graduated from Minico High School. He married Judy Allen. Several years later, he decided to go live at Minidoka Memorial Hospital in Rupert, where he resided until his death. John was so full of love and life, always had a smile on his face, was very active and had a good out-look on life. He would never let anything ruin his day. He was the greatest son, brother, uncle in the world. We would like to thank Minidoka Memorial Hospital and staff, Jeff Stromire for all their care love they have for John. They took care of him very well. He enjoyed living there and always put a smile on someones face. John is survived by his Mom, Elsa Martindale; three brothers, James, Matthew and Mark; one sister, Gabriele; his wife, Judy and boys. Our son, brother, was the most caring, happy wonderful man. Everywhere he went, he always touched someones heart. He lived with Cerebral Palsy all his life, but that never slowed him down. He would get in his wheelchair and go all over. He loved being outside and he loved life and had a good life. Johnny, We love you and you will be missed very much.....Love your family.
Memorial services for John will be held at 11:00 a.m. Saturday, March 21, 2015 at the First Christian Praise Chapel Church, 1100 8th Street in Rupert, with Pastor Justin Williams, officiating.
