Calvin Junior "Butch" Yoak

Calvin Junior "Butch" Yoak, 87, of New Creek, WV, passed away on Wednesday, January 3, 2024 at his home.
Born on December 6, 1936 in Keyser, WV, he was a son of the late Ralph F. and Sadie Rebecca (Swick) Yoak. He also was preceded in death by his wife, the love of his life for 57 years, Hazel M. (Delawder) Yoak on January 8, 2014; a son-in-law, Dale Baker; a brother, Eldon "Bud" Yoak and three sisters, Marjorie Alvarez, Wanda "Juanita" Delawder and Esther Mae Whetzel.
Mr. Yoak retired from the CSX Railroad after 40 years of dedicated service. When he was able, he enjoyed playing pool, being social and watching Westerns on TV. In his later years, he loved spending quality time with his family, especially his great grandchildren. A simple man of few words, he had a heart of gold for those he loved.
Surviving is his daughter, Deborah L. (Yoak) Baker of New Creek; two granddaughters, Christie A. Cameron and husband Michael and Heather J. Leatherman and husband Robert Leatherman, II and three great grandchildren, Remy Cameron and Briar and Bristol Leatherman. Also surviving are two sisters, Sheila Jean Yoak and Sharon Winkler, both of Keyser; nephew, Jimmy Yoak; several other nieces, nephews, cousins and a very special friend that he considered as family, William "Butch" Wahl.
At Mr. Yoak's request, there will be no visitation or services.
The Smith Funeral Home and Crematory, Keyser, WV, is in charge of the arrangements.
