Mr. Jeremiah Yates

With heavy hearts and solemn emotions the loved ones of Mr. Jeremiah Yates are preparing to say “so long” to a vital link to their family’s chain and are being assisted with this difficult task by the Majestic Family. Mr. Yates went down to the ticketing office at Columbus Regional Healthcare System in Whiteville, NC on Tuesday night and the train conductor Jesus Christ, issued him his boarding pass bound for life eternal. 

Services to commemorate the legacy of Mr. Yates will begin with a public visitation on Saturday, February 20, 2021 between the hours of 2pm and 4pm at Majestic Funeral Homes Elizabethtown Campus. The “Farewell” Celebration of Life will take place on the grounds of St. Bethel Baptist Church located at 456 Old Lumberton Rd, Whiteville, NC on Sunday, February 21, 2021 at the hour of 2pm. Following the services, Mr. Yates delicate temple along with his adored family, will be escorted to Cherry Grove Missionary Baptist Church in Whiteville, NC for Interment Rites. During these “so-long” events, those in attendance will be able to bring some sense of closure during this moment of sadness while relying on their faith in the Master to see them through the difficult days that lie ahead.
