Steven A. “Steve” Yadack, 73, of Owensboro, Kentucky passed away Monday, December 19, 2022 at Deaconess Gateway Hospital in Newburgh, Indiana. He was born April 27, 1949 in Kansas City, Missouri to the late Frank A. Yadack, Sr. and Martha Jane Shrewsbury Yadack. Steve was a 1967 graduate of Owensboro High School. In 2010 he retired from Marathon Pipeline/Ashland Oil, where he worked as an electrician for 32 years.
Starting out as a caddy at Owensboro Country Club, golfing soon became one of his passions. He enjoyed spending as much time as he could on the golf course, especially at Ben Hawes golf course, golfing with his buddies. He enjoyed many things in his lifetime and one of them was being a member of the Crooked Creek Cooking Company. Steve was a loving husband, father, and grandfather. Family meant the world to Steve, and even though he didn’t travel too much, he tolerated going to the beach with the love of his life.
Along with his parents, Steve is preceded in death by his brothers, John David Yadack and Frank A. Yadack, Jr.
He is survived by his wife, the love of his life, Rebecca Smith Yadack; daughter, Melissa (Jeremy) Evans of Owensboro; grandchildren, Ethan T. Evans and Erin M.
