Mr. Young had a very tough youth that he was able to overcome. He was a hard worker and was able to achieve more than he could have imagined. He retired from Galbreath, Inc. in Winamac where he worked as a welder for 30 years. He enjoyed playing cards and spending time with his dogs. He was a fan of country western music as well as western TV shows and movies. He took great care of his yard. He loved his family very much and loved when his grandson called him “Grandpa Shark Tooth”. He will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved him.

A graveside service will be held at a later date at Winamac Cemetery in Winamac, with burial following.

Memorial donations may be made to Pulaski Animal Center.
