Sometimes feeling remorse isn't enough. Anyone can feel remorse for bad actions, but from what little we know, he didn't really try to make amends, just became really depressed, laid down, and died. Not terribly sympathetic all things considered.

While it is important to forgive, like one character from Pirates of the Carribean said "One good deed does not redeem a lifetime of wickedness". Yakone was pretty much a gigantic douche, probably for the majority of his whole life. Him finally realizing just how much after loosing his son might be a step in the right direction, but it's one step forward after he had been living an entire lifetime of taking huge steps back, laughing manically all the while. hard to feel much forgiveness for a guy like that. Heck, it's not even entirely clear that it was neccessarily the loss of Noatok that depressed him. You can make a pretty solid argument that he was more depressed simply because his last chance at vengance slipped forever from his grasp, leaving him nothing more than a pathetic, hollowed out shell of a man.
