Life story

At 84 years old, just as the sun rose over the hill, surrounded by his family at his earthly home, Paul K. Young went home to be with Jesus. Paul was a proud veteran but an even prouder family man. He was a husband to Mary for 59 years, they together had 5 wonderful children, and raised two from a previous marriage. He was such a a proud papaw to 13 grandkids and 2 great grandkids! Paul loved any occasion that got the family together and filled the house with love and laughter. He was an avid fisherman and loved to spend time at the pond on the farm. He was a well known man in the community and he never met a stranger. To know him was to love him. All of his family and friends cherish every memory made with him and will miss him until we meet again.
