Charles S. Yates, Jr.'s Obituary
Charles S. Yates, Jr. passed away peacefully at Culpeper Regional Hospital on Sunday, July 14, 2013. He was 82 years of age. He was preceded in death by his dearly beloved parents, Charles S. Yates, Sr. and Kathleen S. Yates.
Charles lived in Griffinsburg up until taking residence at Culpeper Health & Rehabilitation Center. He enjoyed a rich and full life well beyond all medical expectations. Since the death of his parents, Charles looked forward to the day when he would be able to join them. It’s remarkable, but he never forgot the names and birthdays of all his cousins and dear friends. His life has always been an inspiration to those that loved and knew him. He taught us all so much about life.
Charles leaves behind a large number of loving friends and first cousins, to include; C.F. Yates, Henry C. Kilby, Richard Belcher, Harry S. Yates, Jr., Connie M. Golihew and Florence Lehnert.
A funeral service will be held on Saturday, July 20, 2013 at 11 am at Found and Sons Funeral Chapel, 850 Sperryville Pike, Culpeper with Pastor Mike Dodson officiating. The family will receive friends one hour prior to the service.
