He was born September 27, 1969, in Newport News, Virginia. ‍He graduated from Hampton Roads Academy and obtained a bachelor’s degree in philosophy from Washington and Lee University.

 

He was preceded in death by his mother, Jonzennie Mewborne Jones, and his father, Ray Yeatts Jones.‍

 

Yeatts is survived by his wife, Susan Marie Woody, and brother Robert Bruce Jones and nieces Merritt Frances Jones and Lydia May Jones of Newport News, Virginia.

Yeatts was an avid scuba diver and had experienced diving all over the world from his favorite spot in Nosy Sakatia, Madagascar to the cold waters above the Arctic Circle in Norway. He enjoyed sharing his videos and photos of sea animals, including the tiniest nudibranchs. Yeatts loved traveling around the world with his wife and entertaining friends and family at the beach. His perfect day included a bowl of Vietnamese Pho soup and playing with his dogs, Caico and Sadie Mae on a sunny beach.
