On Friday, June 20, Adalaide Byrd, Boxing judge and wife of World Boxing Hall of Fame Referee, Robert Byrd, received a call that her youngest brother, Aaron Tyndale, 44, of had been in a terrible motor vehicle accident and his condition was grave. Tyndale had been traveling from to his home in when his vehicle was run off the road by a tractor-trailer on I-95 in Delaware. Eyewitnesses claim that Tyndale’s vehicle rolled over several times. Byrd’s brother was able to speak briefly after the accident, but shortly after went into cardiac arrest and was taken to Christiana Hospital in Newark, Delaware. As a result of the accident, Aaron Tyndale suffered several severe head injuries and was pronounced brain dead at 4:50 AM on Saturday, June 21. Tyndale’s wishes were to be an organ donor, so at that time the family gave permission for his organs to be removed. Mr. Tyndale led a healthy lifestyle and six of his organs were perfectly healthy and viable for transplant. Adalaide Byrd was proud of her youngest brother. “He accomplished so much in his 44 years, and he lived the life of a 75-year old man,” passionately emphasized the Nevada boxing judge. Tyndale had been in the Air Force for 22 years and retired as a Senior Master Sergeant. Aaron Tyndale will be buried with full military honors on Saturday, August 5, at Arlington National Ceremony in Arlington, Virginia.

The NABF family wishes to extend its deepest sympathies to Adalaide Byrd and her family. Aaron Tyndale was the youngest of five siblings. He is survived by his three sisters Faith, Dawn and Adalaide, his brother Mark and his mother, Beatrice Tyndale.
