Richard Aaron “Rooster” Yawn, 63, passed away unexpectedly Sunday, July 22, 2018. A funeral service will be held Wednesday, July 25, 2018 11:00AM at Cross Point Baptist Church in Perry, Georgia. A visitation will be held Tuesday from 6:00 to 8:00PM at Heritage Memorial Funeral Home in Warner Robins. Richard will be laid to rest in Parkway Memorial Gardens. The Reverend Davin Benavides will officiate. Richard was born December 13, 1954 in Mobile, Alabama. He fearlessly jumped into an adventure and was willing to try anything. Richard loved to play tennis and later turned his attention to golf. He worked for the Blue Bird Body Corporation for almost 40 years. Richard was known for his outgoing personality and compassion and never seemed to meet a stranger. This avid GA Bulldawg fan loved his church at Cross Point Baptist where he sang in the choir, served as a greeter, and faithfully attended the Men’s Sunday School Class. Richard was a family man, who loved his wife and kids and was very proud of them. He is preceded in death by his parents Hugh and Willie Dee Morse. Richard’s memory will forever be cherished by his wife of 32 years, Carla Yawn, his son, Kyle Yawn of Marietta; his daughter Domini LeDuc (Daniel) of North Carolina; his brother Mark Yawn (Angie); one niece and nephew, and his loyal West Highland Terrier, Andrew.
