Saban "John" Yesil of Clarks Summit died Thursday morning at home after a long, courageous battle with cancer. His widow is the former Anne R. Butler.

Born in Turkey, at the age of 29 he bravely immigrated to the United States. He learned to write and speak English and accomplished the "American Dream."

He enjoyed fishing and was passionate about tending his garden; but above all else, he loved spending time with his family. He was a caring, compassionate man who will be greatly missed by his loving wife and son, as well as his family in Turkey.

He is also survived by a son, Brendan, 15, a student at Abington Heights High School.

A graveside service will be Wednesday at 11:30 a.m. in Clarks Green Cemetery.

Arrangements are entrusted to the care of the Lawrence E. Young Funeral Home.
