On Thursday evening July 26, 2018, Jacob Lampton Yarborough peacefully left this earth at St.Tammany Parish Hospital in Covington, LA for his eternal home in heaven while surrounded by his nearest loved ones. He was selfless and witty and to know him was to love him.

Jacob’s biggest supporters include his aunts, Ethel (Neal) Felker of Baton Rouge, LA and Sherwood (Bob) Ice of Metairie, LA and an uncle, John (Jean Burton) Yarborough of Waynesville, NC and numerous cousins, nieces and nephews.
He was greeted in heaven by his father, David Kenneth “Jack” Yarborough whom he lost at a young age and his grandparents, Hardy and Zylpha Lee and Champ and Peggy Yarborough.
Jacob was a graduate of Sumner High School Class of 2000 and the finance manager of the Magee Financial branch of Kentwood. He was an active member in the Kentwood, LA community and served in various leadership roles including Vice President of the Kentwood Rotary Club and a member of the Tangipahoa Parish Drainage Board. He was a lifelong member of Kentwood United Methodist Church where he served as Financial Treasurer. He was a veteran of the United States Air Force serving as a Master Sergeant and completed tours of duty in Iraq and other assignments across the world as a member of the USAA Hurricane Hunters crew.
