Patrick Andrew Yarbrough Sr.

Patrick A. Yarbrough, Sr. was born April 4th, 1953. He died in his home August 9, 2012. Born in Mobile, he was a lifelong resident of Daphne and Mobile, where he belonged to the parishes of Christ the King and St. Pius X. Pat was preceded in death by his parents James and Vivian Miller Yarbrough; his brothers-in-law Eugene “Bo” Cox and Orie “Bubba” Presley; his nephew Keith Presley; and his niece Claire Hope Cox. He had boundless generosity, and with his ever-present good humor and Green Egg, he brought joy to the multitudes who gathered on his back porch. He loved children and they adored him. He defined work ethic. He is survived by Jayne, who he loved, honored, obeyed, cherished and spoiled for 37 years, and their five children: Patrick A. Yarbrough Jr., Carolyn (Danny) Nicholas, Laura (Craig) Sigler, Stephen (Crystal) Yarbrough, and James (Theresa) Yarbrough.

He is also survived by his brothers Bud (Sharon) and Mike (Becky) Yarbrough and sisters Jean Presley, Katie (Tim) Killion, and Renee (Joe) Taylor, as well as many other brothers and sisters in law, nieces, nephews, and friends. He was a Godly man, who faithfully served Christ without reservation. Pat’s life was one of selfless servanthood. “His Lord said to him, ‘Well done good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your Lord.”’ (Matthew 25:23) Pat will be remembered. Visitation will be held on Monday, August 13th, from 2:00 to 6:00 P.M. at the home Pat and Jayne.
