Wilbur Stephen Lamont Yarbough, affectionately known as Baby Mont, was born on March 18, 1969, to Kenneth Lee Hudson and Arlene Yarbough. Lamont suddenly departed this life on June 2, 2025, at St Clair Hospital in Pittsburgh Pa. From the beginning, Mont had a presence that drew people in—warm, loyal, and always full of love. To know him was to love him. He was a protector to his siblings, a favorite among his many cousins, and someone who held family close to his heart. Mont believed in showing up, stopping by just to spend time, and being present for the people he loved. His laughter, his strength, and his loyalty made him unforgettable—and his memory will forever live on in all of us who had the blessing of knowing him. Baby Mont was raised in Pittsburgh where he formed lifelong friendships and lasting memories. He attended Pittsburgh Public Schools and the Steel Valley School District later obtaining his diploma. His passions were working out, fishing, spending time with his friends/family, and playing video games in his spare time. Mont was taught many trades as a boy, working alongside his father. However, his gift was helping others, evident from a young age, he had a natural dedication that stood out. As a young man he worked as a laborer and later landed a position at Pittsburgh Pallets in Neville Island, Pa. His meticulous attention to detail, hard work, and reliability earned him internal recognition and an early promotion to a supervisory role where he oversaw pallet production. His supervisors took notice, and this proven work ethic opened the door to his next opportunity. He joined Altius, where he quickly rose to be a lead staff member thanks to his leadership and consistency; qualities often remarked upon by company executives. His reputation for integrity and efficiency prompted recruiters and CEOs to consider him for more significant roles. This transitioned him into a career in the social service industry. For over the last several years Mont served as a Tier 1 Residential Supervisor for Tender Loving Home Health Care. In this capacity, he led a dedicated team of seven staff members who worked with individuals with intellectual disabilities. His compassionate leadership, strong advocacy, and attention to the well-being of both staff and residents earned him respect across the organization. At every stage of his career, his exceptional work ethic —consistently noted by supervisors and CEOs—propelled him forward and helped him excel in each new role, where he will be deeply missed. Wilbur’s life was enriched by loved ones. He was preceded in death by both his mother Arlene Yarbough and his father Kenneth Lee Hudson. He leaves to cherish his memories: 4 sisters Rhonda Berkley, Cannitha Yarbough, Kennice Hudson- Wise (Joseph), Noranne Yarbough, 8 brothers Kenneth Hudson Jr, Mark Hudson, William Karl Yarbough, Alex Collier, Eric Worsham (Lachanda), Kenneth Chambers, Darren Lipinski (Neocha), Kenneth Hudson, his brother and best friend Rodney Sean Arrington. Mont leaves to mourn but cherish his footprints of love in the hearts and homes of his residents, nieces, nephews and a host of family members and friends that will forever remain.
