Daniel Yearwood Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Biereley-Hale Funeral Home, Inc. - Madisonville on Feb. 21, 2026.
Daniel Lynn Yearwood, age 51, entered the loving presence of his Lord and Savior

Jesus Christ on February 18, 2026. Born on November 26, 1974, Daniel lived a life

marked by kindness, quiet strength, and a steadfast faith that guided him through every season. Daniel was known for his generous heart and his willingness to help anyone in need. He carried himself with humility, compassion, willingness to speak the truth, and a gentle spirit that made others feel seen and valued. His love for his family was unwavering, and he found joy in the simple blessings of life – times spent with loved ones, meaningful conversations, and the beauty of God's creation.

Above all, Daniel's faith was the foundation of his life. He trusted deeply in God's

promises and reflected Christ's love to those around him. Though his time on earth feels far too short, his legacy of faith, integrity, and love will continue to shine through the lives he touched.

Daniel is survived by his loving wife, Natalie Watkins Yearwood; his son, Nathaniel

Morgan, and daughter-in-law, Mandy; grandchildren, Sajin, Sylas, and Amber; his

daughter, Brittany Morgan; favorite pup, Titus; his father, Eddie Yearwood and spouse, Joni; brother, Wayne and his wife, Christy Gourley (Macey, William); nephew, Eli Yearwood; father-in-law, John Watkins; brother-in-law, Gordy Watkins (Lindsay, Logan, Laken, Lexi); sisters-in-law, Stephanie and Terry Alton (Michael, Callie, and Mia), Heather and Jason Bledsoe (Tyler, Lakota, Bella, Brason); and several aunts, uncles, nephews, nieces, and cousins. Special family friends, Gary Hamilton and Mitchel Hamilton, Pastor and friends, John Coleman and wife, Glenda Coleman.

He is preceded in death by his mother, Alice Standridge Yearwood, brother, Travis Yearwood, and mother-in-law, Wanda Watkins.

Though our hearts are heavy, we rest in the promise of scripture: "The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit." Daniel now rests in perfect peace, and we look forward to the day we are reunited with him in glory.
