Obituary
John “Jack” S. Yates, 77 of
Lincoln was taken from this life on January 19,
2021.

Waynesville, the son of Kenneth and Waunita
(Reinhart) Yates. Surviving are his children Traci
Yates, Decatur; Kelly Deckard, Champaign; son Jason
Yates, Lincoln and one sister Christy (Jim) Lynch,
McLean. He also had three grandchildren two nephews
and several great nieces and nephews.
Jack enjoyed going to coffee with his friends and
always enjoyed the discussions that followed. He was
also an avid car enthusiast who especially loved
going to car shows and had great appreciation for
the muscle cars of the 50s, 60s and 70s. In his
spare time, he enjoyed detailing cars and could make
any car look brand new. He had several hobbies
including collecting Lionel Trains, but his favorite
one was riding this motorcycle through the
countryside in the summers. |
In his younger days, he was a weightlifter and an amateur boxer.
In his later years, he was very involved with Doberman Rescue.
Jack was retired from Eaton Corporation in Lincoln.
Memorials may be made to the American Heart Association, Doberman Rescue or the
Logan County Humane Society.
Arrangements are being made by Holland Barry and Bennett Funeral Home in
Lincoln. His family plans a celebration of life at a later date.
