Mr. Young was born in Murphy, N.C., but as a 10 year old moved to Gastonia, NC with his family. He served in the Army in WWII. After discharge he drove a Queen City Trailways Bus, but later went on to Evans Business College. After graduating he started in the Insurance Business, and opened his own agency, Young Insurance Agency. In 1965 he purchased a 9-hole golf course, Grass Valley, in Gastonia. He later added 9 holes and it is now Crowders Mountain Golf Club. He followed that with other golf businesses that he either built, owned or operated: including Robbers Roost Golf Club, in North Myrtle Beach, In-dian River Golf Club, W. Columbia, SC, Timberlake Golf Club, Chapin, SC, and Wood Creek Golf Club in Columbia, SC. He was a member of First Baptist Church, North Myrtle Beach, SC.

Eric my sincere condolences are extended to the Young family. There are no words that I can say to calm your grief and sorrow you are experiencing. Just know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. It is so hard to loose a loved one; however,just know that GOD has a plan and that Lewis is at much peace. Eric you will always remember that your Dad told you he knew you would never forget him. You were a wonderful son to him and I know in my heart you have no regrets you were always there for him when ever he called you for anything.. Hair Cuts and Fish Dinners he loved that time with you. The bonding time I know meant so much to the both of you. That is something no one can take away. Lean on GOD and he will comfort you and see you through your grieving process. You have given your parents so much love and attention and that is something they will never forget.
Warmest regards,
deepest regrets.
Love you for being the person that you are.
