Wayne Mark Yarnall, age 62, of Middletown and Dewey Beach, DE, passed away on Tuesday, August 31, 2021.
Born in Wilmington, DE on October 28, 1958, he was a son of Christine (Kwiatkowski) Yarnall and the late William Malcom Yarnall. Wayne graduated from Delcastle High School. Following graduation, he started his lifelong career with Delmarva Power and Light (DPL) where he retired from after many years of dedicated service in 2011.
Wayne was a great supporter of the military, our veterans, and President Trump. He was a member of the VFW Post 838 and the Pulaski Legion. Wayne was very proud to be a member of the Sons of the Confederate Veterans Mechanized Calvary- 2nd Battalion Company and a member of the Delaware City Rec Club.
Wayne and his wife Lynn worked hard to purchase and spend quality time at their Dewey Beach Home where he enjoyed fishing (not catching) and spending time at his favorite restaurant, The Starboard. Wayne will always be remembered as a loving husband, son, father, grandfather, and a dear friend to many.
In addition to his father, Wayne was preceded in death by his loving wife of 35 years, Diana “Lynn” (Smith) Yarnall and his daughter Kylie Yarnall. He is survived by his mother, Christine Yarnall; his daughters, Brooke Yarnall (Stephen Berkey), and Amanda Kerr (Kristopher); his 6 grandchildren, Payton, Avery, Harlee, Beau, Dilynn, and one due in October 2021; and his service dog, Odin.

My heartfelt condolences to the Yarnall family. My last conversation with Wayne was when he was hospitalized. He shared that his diagnosis was not good. Only today I learned of his passing. I pray he has eternal peace with Lynn and Kylie. Prayers.
