My condolence to the Yarbrough family. Chief Yarbrough was a quiet, unassuming man who could always be counted on to do the right thing.

It was so hard walking through the aisles of a sports store today. I remembered how much Ronnie loved the outdoors.
We pray for comfort for everyone who knew him and for a peace "that passes all understanding".
He will be sorely missed here on earth.
