John Yarosh Obituary

Published by Weed-Corley-Fish Funeral Home South on May 22, 2016.
John Alan Yarosh, devoted husband, father, son, brother and friend, passed away on May 22, 2016. He was born October 19, 1965, on Bergstrom Air Force Base in Austin, Texas to Joseph and Lela Yarosh. John grew up in Austin surrounded by a large, loving family. He married Beth Groom on September 8, 1998 and together they raised their children, John Jr. and Kayla. John was a master mechanic and throughout his career worked in the automotive and motorcycle industry where he held various positions at a number of well known businesses. John never encountered something he couldn't fix and truly embodied the "master". John loved and cherished his family and friends above all else. There wasn't a person he met that didn't hear how much he loved his wife and children. He was the backbone of his family and was truly cherished by each and every member. His departure has left a hole too large to ever fill. John is survived by his loving wife, Beth, his beautiful children, John Jr. and Kayla Ariana; his parents, Joseph Yarosh, Jr. and Lela Ruth Thompson Yarosh; his brothers, Glen Michael Yarosh and Robert Yarosh (Paula); his sister, Dawn Boone. He is also survived by many extended family members too numerous to count. If success in life is being truly missed and remembered long after you're gone, John was one extremely successful man. Visitation will be held from 1:30 pm – 2:30 pm on Friday, May 27, 2016 at Weed-Corley-Fish Funeral Home, 2620 South Congress with Funeral Service to begin at 2:30 pm.

There are some who bring such a great light to this life that the light continues to glow after they are gone. You brought that light brother. I love you forever.

I wish I could have said goodbye. I would have said what I wanted to. I would have cried for you. If I knew it would have been the last time, it would have broke my heart in two. I would try to save a part of you. But...I didn't know.

We love and miss you, my son,and it never goes away missing you. Four years now and it still hurts but I am so proud of what you made of life. I feel it every day as I talked with Beth and Kayla today and marvel at how far we have come. I am thankful for all the love you left with us.

Another Christmas without you. It's just not the same. I made those lemon-cherry cookies that you like. It doesn't seem like you were in my life for fifty years. It went by so fast! I remember when you were a little guy. I was your protector, playmate and nemesis; your big sister. I always wanted you to be safe and happy and never to endure failure, sadness or pain but you experienced them all. You always suffered through, "like a man" way before you ever even were one. I love you and miss you. Rest easy little brother.

I know this may surprise a few people, and most likely you, but nearly 3 years later, I still miss you! Your absence hurts.

We never met one another, but this weekend I met you. I saw your eyes when your father looked at me and your smile when your mother spoke to me. You presence was felt by the love of your family and fondness in their voice as they spoke of you. Although we do not know each other, I felt the heart-ache of losing you through the tears of those who love you most. Your body may be gone but your spirit lives on. Your sister will keep your legacy alive with stories of the great man who was her brother. Hope to hug you one day, until then, sending you air hugs on angels wings.

We have seen many days without your smile, but not without your presence. Your love and precious aura are felt and remembered by those who love you.

Lela, Joe, Mike, Bob, Dawn, Beth, Jay, and Kayla,

You are in my thoughts and prayers as you grieve (for the earthly loss of John) and rejoice (in the fun times you had with him). One day we will all be reunited in our Heavenly home singing praises to our Savior and Lord!!!

Oh, John. You remind us of how fragile life can be. Fortunately, you left us with many lessons and robust memories, which will help us carry on. Your effusive, friendly persona brought you many instant friends, while your feistiness, typically teasing, not only did not lose any, but actually strengthened bonds. We will particularly miss those amazing, flashing eyes and your quick mind and your sharp wit, which distinguished you in any group -- even when it was directed at us, even better when it was not.

Your best friends were always your family. Okay. I admit that you were quite a good nephew. However, you were outstanding as a husband, father and son, one who worked, and played, hard, especially for them.

All those special occasions that used to bring us together will now be less special, due to your absence, yet more special, as you rejoin us in our thoughts.

John, I remember when your mom brought you home from the hospital and I held you. I watched you grow up and hold your own children. You will be missed by all. You always had a quick remark and a great smile! You were always your mothers "baby". We will all miss you.
