Yukon McNeese Obituary (1973

Yukon McNeese, 52, of Russellville, passed away peacefully at his home on Friday, August 29, 2025. A private family committal service was held in the Chapel of Light, with cremation arrangements entrusted to the J. Herman Humphrey Dignity Cremation Center, under the direction of Humphrey Funeral Service. Born on January 30, 1973, in Dardanelle, Yukon was the son of Charles McNeese and Shirley Ann Tillery. He was preceded in death by his maternal grandparents, Hazel Pauline Tillery and Emanual Andrew Tillery. Yukon is lovingly remembered by his daughter, Savannah Jenkins (Raymond) of Tyler, Texas; his mother, Shirley Tillery of Russellville; his brother, Conrad McNeese (Faydrah) of Castle Rock, Colorado; and his sister, Tammy Henderson of Russellville. He also leaves behind his four cherished grandchildren—Tori McNeese, Zariah McNeese, Raelynn Jenkins, and Anyiah Jones—along with his son-in-law, Raymond Jenkins, a special friend, Louise Taylor, and numerous cousins, nieces, and nephews. Throughout his working life, Yukon was employed in the poultry industry, where he caught chickens. A man of the Assembly of God faith, he found joy in simple pleasures. He especially treasured time spent with his grandchildren. He enjoyed fishing, bike riding, sketching and drawing, and listening to the classic sounds of vintage rock-n-roll and country music.
