Life is not measured by the breaths we take...  but by the moments that take our breaths away.

At Celebration Yard Signs, we believe every special moment deserves to be celebrated big—right on your front lawn. Birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, new babies—we help you turn life’s milestones into lasting memories.

But our story runs deeper than yard signs.

After 50 years in the auto industry, I retired. I did it all—from washing cars in high school to owning a lot on North Avenue in the ’80s. So why would a grumpy old man like me come out of retirement?

Simple: love and perspective.

My wife Madeline and I married young and raised three kids in a whirlwind of joy and chaos. On our 25th anniversary, we finally took our dream honeymoon to Cozumel. Weeks later, Madeline suffered a massive stroke.

She was given days to live. She lived 27 more years.

She defied every prognosis—learning to walk, talk (with a 50-word vocabulary), drive, and live independently. Her resilience inspired everyone around her. Through it all, we found strength in memories—flipping through photo albums, laughing, crying, and holding onto the moments that mattered.

That’s why we celebrate.

Celebration Yard Signs was born from those memories. With my friend Mike, I launched this business to help others honor life’s big and small moments. One yard, one smile, one unforgettable day at a time.
