Henry Ford Yarbrough, a beloved resident of Chicago, Illinois departed this world on January 9, 2024, at the age of 75. He entered this life on September 30, 1948, born to Henry Ford Sr and Flossie Marie, leaving behind a rich legacy of kindheartedness and dedication. Not only was he a great cook, he also was very crafty and successful in his music career as the lead singer for Henry Ford and the Gifts. Henry was known for his unwavering commitment to his family especially his only grandson, Khiry. As a son, brother, father, grandfather and faithful friend, he displayed unmatched compassion and empathy, toward anyone he encountered. If he wasn't cooking up a meal or watching sports, he was always trying to cut a rug when a tune came on.
