He was the first child born to Luther Yeomans Sr. and Famelane Yeomans, his sister, Nanette was born a few years later. Dan or Little Dan which is what everyone called him, was a man loved by many and he never met a stranger. His love and passion were being on the water, he especially enjoyed long hauling in his favorite spot, the polywag. He was blessed to be able to work alongside his father, as a commercial fisherman, for many years. More recently, he was employed with the State in the Alcohol Beverage Control Department.

Little Dan was a husband, brother, father and a friend to many. He was a Harkers Islander born and bred through and through. He lived a very full life surrounded by family and friends which is what he lived for. The world has lost a beautiful soul, but heaven must have needed him more. Your wings were ready but our hearts were not.

He is survived by his wife of 21 years, Melissa Chadwick of the home; 3 girls, Lacy Yeomans Costa of Beaufort, Laken Brazie and Mackenzie Yeomans of the home; grandchildren, Bella Costa, Kaelyn Brazie and Greyson Brazie; and stepchildren, David Willis, Joey Willis and Jody Willis.
