Joseph Christopher Yocum

I am so sorry and sad to hear this. I did not find out about Chris´s passing till after. I worked with Chris for 15 years at American Forest products and we´d be later became Huttig building products. Chris and I shared many similar interest in baseball and music. I remember running into him at the batting cages while he was working with the kids and we were taking cuts getting ready for our adult leagues. We also had similar taste in music. He liked jazz and Funk, so we would talk...

Chris, you were like a brother to me. I will always cherish the memories of spending time with you at Grandma and Grandpa's house when we were little. Even though we didn't spend much time together after we grew up, I will miss you. RIP, dear cousin. I love you.

Remembering our trailer days at WAFP in the 80´s: Paper wad fights in the sales trailer when Jimmy Ralph was out for lunch. Yokes, you will be missed!

My brother, Richard and I have known and loved Chris since our Bullard baseball days. He was a friendly, down to earth guy who was quick with a smile and chuckle. Chris and I attended a game at Bullard this last March. We chatted about our baseball buddies, HOF players from MLB, and his friendship with Sandy Koufax, who he met through his customer in Templeton. Chris is home with the Lord!

Oh Chris, So glad we got to talk at our 70's party. Laughed about when we were kids at vacation Bible school. How great a pitcher you were that we nick named you "Smokum Yocum". Will miss you my friend. The Lord has a deep pitching roster now. All my love to your wonderful family and my sincere condolences. Carl Rana

I am so sorry to hear about Chris´s passing. I was in high school with Chris and followed him on Facebook. We all recently connected at a 70´s party. Praying for the Yocum family.

I am stunned in hearing of the passing of Chris. I have known him since high school and proud to have called him my friend. My prayers are with his entire family and I am truly heartbroken!

May our Lord give him peace, happiness and joy in Heaven. God Bless Chris.
