Wayne Eugene Yardley (Bimbo) born on February 9^th 1954

Wayne passed away on march 12^th at University of Tennessee Medical Center after a short illness. “I Did It My way”, best describes our brother Wayne, certainly not always the best but it was his way. Wayne traveled light never accumulating a lot of material things, but would give you what he had and never ask for anything in return. He loved a simple life, a good dog, a good fishing spot, the beach, and the occasional Krystal.

Later in life he met his soul mate Madelyn Carol Monday Yardley and her wonderful daughters Kristi Haris (Rick)and Westlyn Brewer. They gave him unconditional love and support. More importantly Wayne found and accepted Jesus Christ as his personal savior and for these things we are truly grateful.

Wayne was proceeded in death by his Mother Betty Yardley. Survivors include Children: Jason Yardley and Natalie Parrott. His chosen children were Shane Waymen and Whitney Rutherford. His sisters Faye Foster (John) Peggy Widner (Fred) Sue Layne (Randy) Janice Loveday (Steve). Many grandchildren and nieces and nephews that he dearly loved.

A special thank you to the nurses and doctors at University of Tennessee Medical Center for the wonderful care, respect, dignity, and compassion shown to our family during our time of need.

The family will host a celebration of life on March 21^st at 5:00pm at the New Harvest Parks and Recreation Center located at 4775 New Harvest Lane Knoxville TN. Pastors Becky Milligan and Mike Lee will be doing the service at 5:00pm and the family will be there until 8:00pm and we would love to see you.
