Georgetown: Paul Loren Yarborough was escorted home by his Savior Jesus Christ on July 16, 2021 at the young age of 74. Born in Charleston he grew up in Darlington and lived many years in Lexington. He was currently residing in Georgetown, SC where he was blessed to spend his leisure time sitting on his porch gazing at God's magnificent creation of Winyah Bay and talking to his two cats Charlie and Angel. He is survived by his "Lil Punkin" wife Claire Wilson Yarborough (who called him "Precious" every time she spoke to him or about him), son Jason Paul Yarborough (Julie) and daughter Ruth Yarborough Rauch (Pete) as well as 3 beautiful grandchildren, Kenneth Paul, Kimberlyn Clareese and Kyler Ray and his three brothers Phillip Heyward (Courtney), Victor Brooks (Donna) and Shea Carlisle (Becky). He was predeceased by his father Loren Odom Yarborough and his mother Eloise Peebles Yarborough and mother-in-law Inez B. Galloway. Paul's celebration of life service will be held on Monday, July 19th at 2:00 PM at All Saints Pawleys Church, 3560 Kings River Rd., Pawleys Island, SC 29585 with a reception immediately following. Committal will be at 5:00 PM at Union United Methodist Church Cemetery, located at 9835 County Line Road, Hemingway. Paul was a proud graduate of Spartanburg Junior College and Wofford College. After teaching math in elementary school, he began his insurance career in Columbia, SC with South Carolina Farm Bureau in 1972. He started a residential construction company in 1997 where he focused on custom home building in both Lexington and Georgetown counties. He was also a licensed realtor affiliated with Peace Sotheby's International Realty, Pawleys Island. Paul retired in 1990 from the South Carolina Army National Guard Field Hospital Unit in Columbia as a Sergeant First Class with 22 years of service. Paul had a servant's heart. He served his church family as a Junior Warden, sang in the choir and was a Stephen Minister where he was able to care for those experiencing difficult times in life. In addition, Paul served his community well. He was a member of the Rotary Club of Georgetown for 17 years and served as President from 2011-2012. He served on the board of Teach My People in Pawleys Island as he was passionate about sharing the love of Christ with the children in his community. He was also a current board member of Focused Living Ministries in Columbia where he was instrumental in mentoring men to walk with Christ while loving and leading their families. Paul was a Harley rider and Corvette enthusiast. A member of Old Coots on Scoots (chapter 32) he was assigned the nickname of "Rev." As ride leader, he always led the group in prayer. Paul rode his Harley across the country a couple of times with his best buddy Larry True Huggins while Claire would land occasionally along the route via commercial air to join them. He and Claire loved to travel. To his family he was affectionately known as "Paul Pie." He was our beloved leader, our teacher, our coach, our protector and provider. Most importantly, our "Paul Pie" took Jesus everywhere he went and made sure everyone knew the love of Christ. We want to thank the medical professionals who cared for Paul during his illness. We also want to thank the many prayer warriors who sustained our family with constant prayer over the last couple of months.
