ROCHESTER N.Y. — A Rochester widow is now planning a memorial after her husband was found stabbed to death outside of a nearby home.

Ashley St. John-Yantz lost her husband, 55-year-old David Yantz, after he was found fatally stabbed in the upper body outside of a home on Oriole St. near Lexington Ave. Friday night.

“I got to say ‘I love you’ for the last time before he passed away,” said St. John-Yantz.

According to Rochester police, 60-year-old backyard neighbor Glenn Jones is charged with second-degree murder.

Ashley says she did not want comment on their association, but goes on to say that her husband was a golfer, a military veteran, loved to grill and was loved by the community.

The two would have celebrated two decades of marriage on June 20.

“He’s being cremated, and we’re having the celebration of his life at the VFW Post in Macedon,” says St. John-Yantz.

A GoFundMe page has been set up to raise money, and with the family's help, she is now planning a funeral and a memorial service.
