A wonderful man, loved by everyone who knew him, has passed away after a courageous battle with cancer.
Doc was a special man and had the most amazing smile that would light up any room. He was a loving father, grandpa, great-grandpa, uncle and best friend to his many family and friends.
Doc was born in Spiro, OK to John Louis and Rubie Yarbrough.
He served in the U.S. Army as an engineer in the 349th Engineer Regiment, stationed in the Aleutian Islands during World War II. Upon his release he joined the American Legion, Cecil Cox Post 147.
He married his 'Little Squirt' Ruth Buddle on February 4, 1948.
He loved to spend hours on any lake fishing for 'the big one'.
His life's work was spent laying tile and he worked at that profession almost until the end of his life.
He was a member of Northeast Assembly of God Church in Fresno.
A very special thank you to all of his many friends who helped look over and comfort him and his family in his final days. He loved everyone of you.
He was preceded in death by Ruth Marie Yarbrough, his wife of 54 years; and his daughter, Sharon Yarbrough.
