He was a loving son, father and grandfather whose greatest joy was ensuring that the people he loved were cared for. David always showed up whenever help was needed, especially when it came to home improvement projects for family and friends. He was very skilled with his hands, and took pride in the work he did.
Some of his happiest times were spent on his uncle’s farm. It was his favorite place to be. There with family and his dogs, he hunted, worked and simply enjoyed the land and the company of those he loved. Those days on the farm held a special place in his heart and remain treasured memories for everyone who shared them with him.
He is survived by his sons David Yates, Michael (Stacey) Yates, Joshua Yates and Zachary Yates. Proud grandfather of Devin and Sammie. Dearest brother of Dawn Yates Perrone, John (Dee) Yates, Linda Messina and brother-in law of Debbie Yates. David was predeceased by his parents Joseph and Estella Yates and his brother James Michael Yates.
Funeral arrangements entrusted to Kaul Funeral Home of Roseville. Please share a memory with the family on David’s online guestbook.
