Kerrville sadly lost a beautiful soul last weekend. Joseph Allan Yarbrough, 70, lovingly known as “Jaybird” to friends and family. Jay passed on September 2, 2023 at his residence in Kerrville. Jay was born in Houston, TX. to Carolyn and Jim Yarbrough. He was raised in London, England where his love for music was born. He played the guitar his entire adult life. The family eventually moved to Kerrville.
Jay loved his work, the animals, and all the people associated with AWS (Freeman Fritts). For 14 years he and his wifehave been tireless volunteers with “The Big Fix” ( @TNR) community where they have made lifelong friends. Jay was a writer, poet, musician, lover of animals, people, and nature.
He is survived by his lovely wife of 51 years, Debbie Harden Yarbrough. He will be sorely missed by all of those lucky enough to have known and loved him.
There will be a celebration to honor Jay’s life announced at a later date.
