William Danny Yates

William Danny Yates, 73, passed away Saturday, September 16, 2023, at Magnolia Regional Health Center in Corinth, MS. He was born September 13, 1950, to Edward Yates and Mary Ruth Bridges. If you were to look for Mr. Yates, one would find him outdoors camping, fishing, grilling, or gardening. He loved spending time with his family, but the best part of his life was being able to spoil his grandchildren and great-grandchildren. He loved his family dearly.

A Celebration of Life will be at 2:00 P.M. Wednesday, September 20, 2023 at McMillan Funeral Home with Bro. James Gray and Bro. David Boyd officiating. Mr. Yates’ family cherishes the memories that were made where they all would gather. To carry on the memories and to continue making more, his family has chosen this to be his final resting place.

He is survived by his loving wife of 55 years, Joyce Yates; two daughters, Pennie Mize (Craig), and Renea Johnson (Damon); two half-brothers, Bart Bridges, and Bert Bridges; two half-sisters, Beth Johns, and Tonya Boyd; five grandchildren, Kayla Greene (Eddie), Cody Mize (Katie), Evan Grose (Danielle), Ryan Grose (Maecie), and Chase Johnson (Whitley); and 15 great-grandchildren.

He is preceded in death by his parents; and two brothers, Michael Yates, and Monty Yates.

Pallbearers will be Cody Mize, Evan Grose, Ryan Grose, Chase Johnson, Damon Johnson, and Craig Mize.

Visitation will be from 5:00 P.M. until 8:00 P.M. Tuesday, September 19, 2023, at the funeral home.
