A house RESOLUTION

 

TO EXPRESS PROFOUND SORROW UPON THE PASSING OF William Caleb "Cale" Yarborough AND TO EXTEND THE DEEPEST SYMPATHY TO HIS FAMILY AND MANY FRIENDS.

 

Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives were deeply saddened to learn of the death of William Caleb "Cale" Yarborough on December 31, 2023, after an extended illness; and

 

Whereas, a native of South Carolina, Cale was born on March 27, 1939, in Sardis, to Julian Caleb Yarborough and Annie Mae Kelley Yarborough. He grew up in the Sardis community with his younger brothers Jerry and J.C. In his teenage years, he attended Timmonsville High School, where he was a star football player; and

 

Whereas, after graduating from Timmonsville High School, he was offered a football scholarship to Clemson University. However, Cale decided his love for racing cars was greater than his love for football and chose to pursue a racing career instead. His father, Julian, instilled a love of flying planes and fast cars in Cale and took him to Darlington to watch the building of the raceway there. He raced his very first race in a soap box derby at the town square in Darlington; and

 

Whereas, Cale has a long list of achievements from his NASCAR career, but he will be remembered by those closest to him as a loving son, brother, husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather; and

 

Whereas, Cale leaves to cherish his memory his wife of nearly 63 years, Betty Jo Thigpen Yarborough; his daughters, Julianne Hucks, Kelly Woody (Anthony), Betty Jo McSweeny, and his six grandchildren. He will be greatly missed; and

 

Whereas, many friends, family, and caregivers helped Cale throughout his illness, and both Cale and his family were extremely grateful for their selflessness. In his final days, Cale was especially thankful for the help of the McLeod Hospice Home Caregivers and the exceptional care provided to him and his family at the McLeod Hospice House. Now, therefore,

 

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

 

That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, express profound sorrow upon the passing of William Caleb "Cale" Yarborough and extend the deepest sympathy to his family and many friends.

 

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to the family of William Caleb "Cale" Yarborough.
