YATES III, Jack Mitchell

Bradbury Memorial Center - Lake Havasu City, Arizona - Jack Mitchell Yates III, age 25, passed away unexpectedly on Saturday, August 13, 2022 in Bullhead City, AZ. He was born December 26, 1996 in Panorama City, CA, the son of Jack M. Yates Jr. and Emily (Morey) Yates- Arteaga. Jack was a lifelong resident of Mohave County, attending Nautilus Elementary and Thunderbolt Middle Schools in Lake Havasu City. After relocation with his family, he then attended Kingman High School from where he proudly graduated with the Class of 2017. Never hindered by his disabilities from an early age, Jack’s kindness toward all animals and his exceptional love of nature and the outdoors was depicted in his art and drawings, something which always brightened the lives of his family and friends. Jack lived his life the only way Jack could understand, and although life wasn’t easy, he was able to overcome barriers and live the life he chose for his own happiness and without regret. Always smiling, he valued life and family and never gave up. His life may have been cut short but the impact of his existence was never, or will ever be, lost to his family or those who knew him. He was an example to us all with his kindness, honesty, and determination, to being Jack. Arrangements were made under the direction of Bradbury Memorial Center in Lake Havasu City, AZ. A private Celebration of Life is being scheduled for a later date.
