On Monday, December 18, 2017, the Rev. Joseph Jack Yancey Sr. quietly concluded the journey designed for him on this Earth, at home, to be at rest for eternity.
Joseph, born on March 28, 1961, was one of 12 children including five brothers and six sisters, to the late Robert Nathaniel Yancey and Lucille Houchens. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in life by two brothers, Charles and Nathaniel.
While receiving his education in the Louisa County Public Schools, he became a member of Rising Sun Baptist Church, where he professed his belief in Jesus Christ at an early age. He later furthered his studies at St. Joseph's University's seminary school. On September 22, 1984, he married the late Doriane Shelton and from their union there are two children, Kimberly Yancey and Joseph Yancey Jr. of Richmond, Virginia. He pursued his career as an educator and coach at Louisa County High School. Joseph became a mentor to many athletes, students and upcoming ministers in the community.
Over the years, Joseph pastored at churches in numerous cities including Amherst, Culpeper and Chapel Hill, North Carolina, just to name a few. In recent times, he would visit many, who were sick and shut-in, and continued to deliver God's word.
He leaves cherished memories to his two children, Kimberly and Joseph Jr. (Sarah) of Richmond; sisters, Lucille Shelton, Shirley Henson, Christine Mack (Reggie), Carrie Yancey, Fannie Shelton (George) of Mineral and Gaile Shelton (Dennis) of Richmond; brothers, Thomas Yancey (Lori) of Mineral, Robert Yancey Jr. (Joyce) of Sarasota, Florida, Griffith Yancey (Joy) of Rockville; and a host of beloved nieces and nephews. He will also be missed by devoted friends, Wesley Henson, Timothy Jackson, Stanley Carter, Tony Hunter, Samuel "Buggy" Jackson, Reggie Shelton, Benjamin Pollard, Kendell Waller and Samuel "Pumpkin" Shelton.
Funeral services were held at noon on Saturday, December 23, 2017, at Rising Sun Baptist Church, Mineral, with the Rev. Anthony Brown officiating and Minster Joseph J. Yancey Jr., eulogist. Interment followed in Spring Grove Cemetery.
Arrangements were made by D.D. Watson Mortician, Inc., Louisa.
