Dawson Eugene Yarnelle Jr.

Dawson Eugene Yarnelle Jr., a radiant spirit who graced this world for just a short time, was born on September 17, 2024, in Fort Wayne, Indiana. He left us too soon, peacefully passing away on Sunday, October 20, 2024, surrounded by the love and warmth of his family.

Though Eugene's time with us was brief, it was filled with love and promise. He was the cherished son of Dawson and Shelby Yarnelle (Collins) and the beloved brother of his dear sister, Nova. Eugene brought boundless joy to his family, and his presence lit up their lives in ways words struggle to capture. He was a part of a large extended family that included many grandparents, great grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins, all of whom adored him deeply.

Eugene’s parents made the touching decision of donating to save the lives of others. His legacy of love will forever be remembered by those whose lives he saved.

Eugene is now joined in eternal rest with his great grandpa, Robert Hornbeck; his grandma, Shauna Collins; his aunt, Dawn Addair; and his cousin, Seth Yarnelle. These family members have now welcomed him into their arms.

Titus Funeral Home is entrusted with the care of Eugene.
