I was deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Mr. Yarberry. He was such as sweet, lively man. I enjoyed taking care of him at dialysis. He loved his family without question, especially his grandkids. We would often sit and talk and he always had something to say about his grandchildren. I loved him as if he was a member of my own family, and I will greatly miss him. God now has an overall clad angel. My thoughts and prayers go out to all that loved Mr. Yarberry.

Alvin you are going to be missed more than you will ever know. You stayed involved in your grandkids lives until the very end, even as your health continued to fail. I wondered at times where you found the strength to keep going but I know you loved them so much. You have been a good son, brother, uncle, father, and papaw. I know your family is grieving. Such a loss. Rest high on the moutain Alvin, just know you are loved and missed.

Always a good friend and will never be forgotten. Would have words of wisdom no matter the situation. Some of Alvin's quotes that have stuck over the years are,"I done forgot more than you'll ever know","I can fix anything but a broken heart but I can mend on that".

I was very shocked, saddened and upset hearing of Alvin's passing. He was a very kind, considerate and compassionate man. We car pooled to work at DP&L from Saline county for a period of time. He was always willing to help me with anything when I asked him. Strength and prayers to his family (which I know some members). I apologize for not attending but I live in northwest AR. RIP Alvin!!

We are saddened to hear of Alvin's death. He was a young teen when we first met him and he instantly became like family. He and Richard came by last year and we caught up on our lifetime of fishing. Jack wasn't home so he missed a great time. We will be praying for Alvin's family and friends. Rest assured, we feel he is in a better place free of pain and suffering.
