Douglas Yendell

Douglas Robert Yendell, 61, of Chattanooga, passed away on Jan. 29, 2018, with his loving wife, mother and sister by his side. After retiring from Sysco Foods, Doug would often be found golfing or fishing with his many friends. Always an avid outdoorsman he enjoyed skiing and camping, even in the Northern winter. As a loving husband, father, son, brother and uncle he took great pleasure in cooking for his family, not so much the cleaning up but perhaps that is the benefit of having three sisters. People loved to be around Doug’s soft-spoken and friendly manner. He will be missed by many. He was preceded in death by his father, Robert W. Yendell. He is survived by his wife, Robin Yendell; mother, Jane Yendell; two sons, Alex and Tommy Yendell; two stepsons, Josh and Caleb Curry; three sisters, Jennifer (Barry) Grayson, Denise (John) Rodio and Diane (John) Day; several nieces and nephews also survive. The family will have a private memorial service. The family would also like to extend a special thanks to Hearth Hospice and BrightStar Care. May the four winds carry you gently home! Arrangements are by Cremation Center of Chattanooga; 1345 Hickory Valley Rd., Chattanooga. (423) 362-5999
