Kenneth E Yeaman, Jr.

Kenneth E Yeaman Jr, fondly known to most as (Chip), went to be with the Lord, January 4, 2025, after a battle with health issues. Chip was born on March 15, 1963 in Richmond, VA to Carol Yeaman and Kenneth Yeaman Sr. He was the third born child of eight. Chip was preceded in  death by both his parents, his grandparents, his brother- John David and his son, Benjamin Scott Yeaman. Chip is survived by his son, Kenneth Bryant Yeaman, his grandchildren, Savannah and Hudson Yeaman, his daughter-in-law, Emily Yeaman, his siblings- Susan (John) Reid, Steven Yeaman, Kristen (Joe) Mucci, Pamela (Wayne) Kennedy, William Edward Daniel Yeaman and Ellen (Adam) Webb. He is survived by his 16 nieces and nephews-David, Colin, Brad, Lauren, Matthew, Andrew, Chris, Faith, Katherine, Matthew, Riley, Jacob, Logan, Emily, Ethan and Madalen. Chip is also survived by his best friend, Peggy Yeaman Briggs, his Aunt Patricia Barbour and many other loved ones and special friends. Chip grew up going to Landmark Christian School where he began his large circle of friends. While at Landmark, Chip played soccer and basketball and he continued his love of sports for the remainder of his life. He was a huge fan of the Atlanta Braves, The Pittsburgh Steelers, The Washington Redskins, Washington Capitals, Racing, “Cousin” Carl Edwards, Wrestling, UVA Cavaliers Basketball and many additional sports teams. Chip enjoyed fishing, bonfires, spending time at the “Rivah” and loved listening to music, especially Lynyrd Skynyrd. In his working years, Chip managed a furniture and mattress store, owned a small restaurant and worked in the mortgage industry to name a few. Chip never knew a stranger and could spend hours talking with folks he just met. He invested his time into getting to know others and developing real connections. He loved hanging with his GC crew, where you could find him a few days a week. He was a family man and always showed up for all the many holidays, celebrations and the extra large get togethers. Chips biggest joy in life was spending time with his grandbabies. He was so excited to be “Grandaddy”. Chip also had a strong relationship with his Lord, who he loved and worshipped . Chip is surely in Heaven now, reuniting with all his loved ones, especially his son. Chip had such a huge heart that is now fully restored.
