On December 17, 1963, Waldo Yellowrobe, Jr. “Mo’kohtavevaotseva” was born to Beatrice (Whitebird) and Waldo Yellowrobe, Sr. who preceded him in death. He went to be with his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on February 1, 2019 in St. Paul, MN where he worked and lived for several years.
He attended Lame Deer Public School and the Northern Cheyenne Tribal High School in Busby, MT. His sons, Wilbur and Brandon, who survive him were his pride and joy with dreams for a better life.

“I heard a loud shout from the throne saying, ‘Look, the home of God is now among men, and he will live with them and they will be his people; yes, God himself will be among them. He will wipe away all tears from their eyes, and there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying, nor pain. All of that has gone forever.’ And the one sitting on the throne said, ‘See, I am making all things new!’ And then he said to me, ‘Write this down, for what I tell you is trustworthy and true: It is finished! I am the Alpha and the Omega—the Beginning and the End. I will give to the thirsty the springs of the Water of Life—as a gift! Everyone who conquers will inherit all these blessings, and I will be his God and he will be my son.’ ” Revelation 21:3-7

My prayers for my brother Waldo’s sons Wilbur & Brandon, “your dad loved you both very much, he always talked about his sons with pride”, he was a good brother, he had a great laugh, and great sense of humor, always will remember him.
