[edit] Early Life
William Joseph James Yarbrough was born William Joseph James Bradstreet in Memphis, Tennessee on April 1, 1992 to parents Michael and Kathy. He also had two brothers, Charles and David. He was raised in a town just 9 miles northeast of Memphis called Millington, Tennessee in a house on Crestfield Street, which he cites in many of his works.
At age 6, Len's father Michael Bradstreet divorced from his mother and left town, leaving Len's mother Kathy to stay with relatives while she battled an illness. 5 years later, Kathy was diagnosed with adenocarcinoma, and died a year and a half later.
After the death of his mother, Len moved in with his uncle William Everett Yarbrough and future aunt Denyc Oesterblad at age 13. Len lived in Bartlett, Tennessee during this time, and then returned to Millington to begin high school.
Len now attends high school at Millington High School in Millington and is in his freshman year.
[edit] Trivia
- Len is a nickname given to him by his 9th Grade English Teacher. He decided on the name after hearing that Len enjoyed listening to The Beatles and John Lennon, so he started calling him "Len". The name eventually stuck, in place of his former name, "Josey".
