Rosendo Gonzalez Tansinsin III M.D.

Rosendo Gonzalez Tansinsin, 83, of Indianapolis, IN, passed away in his home surrounded with deep love from his family on October 1, 2023.   He was born in 1940 in Tondo, Manila, Philippines as the sixth of eight children. He was the son of Rosendo De Jesus Tansinsin and Luz Bonto Gonzalez Tansinsin.  Rosendo graduated from medical school in 1966. He immigrated to the United States where he worked at St. Mary Mercy Hospital in Gary, Indiana, followed by Central State Hospital in Indianapolis, IN while simultaneously having his own family practice. He served the medical community for nearly 25 years and worked incredibly hard to support his family.  

In his leisure time, Rosendo truly enjoyed nature.  His love for the outdoors was evident. He spent many hours with his kids engaging in an array of gardening, spanning from beautiful tulips to growing the tastiest of tomatoes.  He enjoyed fishing with his kids, and became a freshwater aquarium enthusiast. He also enjoyed watching sports and cheering against his family members, jokingly often picking the opposing team to root against. He also had a strong voice that could be heard aloud during Sunday mass. He will be missed by his family and friends. We will especially miss his thoughtful birthday and Christmas cards that he never missed giving to his wife, kids, and grandkids.
