Bryan D. Yesh age 70 of Sherwood, passed away on Saturday, April 27, 2024, peacefully at his home surrounded by his family.
Bryan was born on January 12, 1954, in Sturgis, Michigan, a son to the late Fabian and Alice (Fry) Yesh.
Bryan was a graduate of Bronson High School as a member of the class of 1972.
On June 29, 1974, Bryan married his wife of 47 years Sharon Louise Walter in Coldwater, Michigan. Sharon preceded Bryan in death on November 8, 2021.
Bryan was the founder and owner of Yesh Metals Inc. in Sherwood, Michigan. Bryan's passion for the business and his unprecedented work ethic cemented a foundation for his kids to continue. When Bryan was not at the scrap yard he enjoyed hunting, fishing, turtle trapping and playing on his excavators digging and maintaining his ponds. Bryan loved a good day trip on the road and covered most of Michigan antiquing and thrifting. If he wasn't on the road or playing on a machine Bryan could have been found in his garden or keeping his fruit trees up. He was a certified master gardener after completing the course at KCC. Bryan was also an active member of the former Colon Area Anglers Association.
Bryan is survived by his daughters: Dara Weed and Tara Burgett, sons: Aaron and Ryan Yesh, five grandchildren; Dessa (Zachery Enyart) Weed and Dailey Weed, Morgan, Murray and Marlee Burgett, all of Sherwood, two brothers; Gary (Deborah) Yesh, and Blair (Melissa DeHoff), sisters; Linda (Neil) Nash, Elaine Yesh, and Tina (Daniel) Himebaugh, and many nieces and nephews.
Besides his parents Fabian and Alice Yesh Bryan was preceded in death by his wife Sharon.
The Yesh family will receive friends and relatives from 10 AM – 2 PM on Wednesday, May 1, 2024, at Firm Foundation Ministries: 651 E Main St, Centreville, MI 49032. A funeral service celebrating Bryan's life will begin at 2 PM following the visitation with Pastor Don Smith officiating. Following in his wish's cremation will follow the funeral service.
