Obituary

Jackie "Jack" Lee Yeager
(October 20, 1940 - July 6, 2021)

Jackie “Jack” Lee Yeager, of Barboursville, born Oct. 20th, 1940, passed away peacefully surrounded by his family on July 6th, 2021 after a short heroic battle with complications from a brain tumor. He was preceded in death by his parents, Minnis and Gladys Yeager and his brother Chuck Yeager. He is survived by the love of his life, Barbara Yeager, his wife of almost 60 years; three daughters and sons-in-law, Elizabeth and Paul Jakaitis, Jackie and Toufik Boutouis, Andrea and Brian Knost; his faithful sister, Karen (Paul) Turman; seven grandchildren, Katy, Alexandria, Antoinette, Spencer, Samy, Sophie, and Sarah; four great- grandchildren that brought joy to his life, Zoey, Kennedy, Delaney, and Johanna; two aunts, Joan Gross and Jean Mays; a brother-in-law, Phil Graham (Audrie); several nephews and nieces; Alexis Mylar; and his beloved cats, Newman, Henry, Junior, and Bella. A “Jack” of all trades, he started delivering newspapers as a young boy; worked at Inco; ran and owned many businesses including Brady Hardware, Antique stores and Model train stores, was an avid gun collector and dealer, and built many homes. He had a smile that could thaw a block of ice, and a soothing, upbeat voice that could draw a cat down from a tree. He will be remembered as a fiercely devoted husband, Dad, brother, son, and friend to all. His passions included history, traveling the scenic routes, collecting all things, story telling, eating good meals, getting one more thing done, watching and feeding the wildlife from his front porch, and cats. As a life-long resident of Barboursville, he loved serving and beautifying his community. He was a member of Steele Memorial United Methodist Church and numerous other organizations. The family thanks all the doctors and medical staff that cared for him with special thanks to Dr. Kevin Yingling and Dr. Noah Poznanski.  Friends may call from 12:00 - 1:00 pm, Sunday, July 11th, with funeral service at 1 p.m. by Reverend Dr. Ed Grant and Pastor Kevin Lantz at Wallace Funeral Home, Barboursville, WV. Burial will be in Yeager Cemetery, Lincoln County, WV.
