GEORGE (STEVE) YARBOR

It is with deep regret to inform you that Steve Yarbor passed away peacefully on March 12, 2025, at the age of 76. Steve worked for MCEA as a Labor Relations Specialist for many years and was well known for his deep compassion and tenacity when fighting for the many issues that State workers are confronted with. Steve had the uncanny ability to diffuse heated arguments and relationships by using his wit and humor.

Steve will be missed by all; may he rest in peace in our heavenly Father's arms.
