We lost my sweet daddy today. He's always been the toughest man I know and my best hunting partner. We still had your big elk hunt to go dad. Love you and miss you already dad! By Chantell .

My cowboy Dad rode away about 12 hours ago. He was my first love and has loved me, taught me, defended me, supported me and taken care of me in so many ways for 57 years. I always thought he was so handsome and so strong. He always knew what advice to give. I loved going for drives and listening to his stories.. He loved his family more than anything. I love you. Dad! By Charla.

Charles Calvin Brindley, 82, passed away on August 3, 2021 in Cedar City, Utah. He was born December 14, 1938 in Salina, UT, to Calvin Cantrell "Bob" Brindley and Irva Maud Gleave. He grew up in Angle until the age of 7 when his dad passed away. He then moved to Kingston. His mother married R.W. "Pete" Sudweeks, who helped raise him and his siblings. He attended and graduated from Piute High school and graduated with a Bachelor's of Science in Physical Education from Southern Utah State College where he excelled in basketball and track. He married Marcia Ann Wiley on May 12, 1962, in the Manti LDS temple.

Charles was an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints where he served as the Young Men's president and a counselor in the bishopric. He was drafted to the United States Army and served from 1962 to 1964 and was stationed in Korea. He served as the mayor of Antimony for several years. He raised his kids on the ranch in Antimony.

He was a farmer/rancher/dairyman. He held many jobs working in construction, driving trucks, oil rigs, and as a teacher and counselor at Sorensen's Ranch School in Koosherem. He retired from Western Rock after 23 years of service.

He enjoyed hunting, horses, riding on the mountain, and family. He had a love of BS-ing. He could beat you in an arm-wrestling match.
