James "Jamey" Edward Yarbrough, 39, of Hobbs, New Mexico passed away on Monday, May 5, 2025, at Covenant Medical Center in Lubbock, Texas.
Jamey was born on January 24, 1986, in Andrews, Texas to Jeanie Gilchrest Coates and Keith Yarbrough. He graduated from Hobbs High School in 2004 and was a salesman for Atlas Well Head for many years. He enjoyed playing golf, going fishing and hunting and he loved sports which included watching his beloved Dallas Cowboys every Sunday. Jamey was considered an excellent cook and loved feeding his family and friends. He was one of the funniest people you would ever meet and always had a story or joke to tell because he enjoyed making people laugh. Jamey was very charming also; along with his good looks, charm, and wit, his family said he was a natural born salesman and could sell fleas to an exterminator. He was a wonderful human being; always putting other people's needs ahead of his own. Jamey will be missed by all who have had the pleasure of meeting him, but he will never be forgotten.
