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. Henry's infectious personality and warm presence will be sorely missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing him. His departure leaves a significant void in the hearts of many, and his memory will forever be cherished by us all.
He attended Hirsch high school, Chicago, Illinois and graduated in 1966. He was united in holy matrimony with Josie, soon after, God smiled on their lives with two sons, Henry Lamar and Darrell Kinta.
He was predeceased by his parents Henry Ford & Flossie Marie, sister Detrice Marie and Grandmother Myrtle.
He is survived by his children: Henry Lamar, Darrell Kinta, grandson Khiry, sister Denise Myrtle, nieces Desiree and Cherice, nephews Byron Marcell , Cory Dion, great nieces & nephew Diamond Keara, Diamonique Teara & Sa’Quan Tre’Von. Long time special companion Betty Wright.
