Michael Young Obituary
Michael spent his grade school and middle school years in Meridian, and graduated from Skyview High School in Nampa, in 2005. He began an internship during high school, which later turned into a full-time job with Idaho Central Credit Union. Michael has worked in the banking industry since, being employed by U.S. Bank and most recently by Chase Bank in Eagle - where he loved being a banker.
Michael was a competitive and very accomplished water and snow skier. Michael raced in snow skiing for the Bogus Basin Ski Education Foundation through his mid teens, then became a coach for the program at age 16, finishing his seventh straight year with the program as a coach in 2010. He also skied in his first US National Water-ski championships just before his 9th birthday, winning the first place national title in slalom waterskiing in his division at the age of 10, in West Palm Beach, Fla. He returned to that tournament each year through age 17.
In the summer of 2010, Michael was one of the primary organizers involved in bringing about the first Western Regional Water-ski Tournament ever held in the state of Idaho, serving, among other things, as the webmaster and public relations spokesman for that event.
Michael was a very kind-hearted son, brother, nephew, and friend, and his warm, smiling face and cheerful laugh will be forever missed by all the hundreds of people who knew and loved him and whose lives he touched.
Services to honor Michael's life will be held at 2 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 9, at the LDS Stake Center, 2600 Hill Road, Boise.
A 12:30 p.m. viewing will be held at the same location. The family has asked that in lieu of flowers, any donations may be made to the Michael B. Young scholarship foundation in care of Bogus Basin Ski Education Foundation, in conjunction with Idaho Independent Bank Questions may be referred to Shannon Carrell (208) 336-5295.

I will never forget Mike.. My brother and I spent many days skiing with him he was the first one to teach me a 360, and he was the first one to get me to drop a cliff.. He was a good friend and will be missed. I bet you're skiing the steepest deepest powder and I'll be waiting for that day to ski with you again...

Pauline, Michael was such a big part of our lives. Our girls, Michael and Morgan were quite a team. They played together, skiid together, and loved eachother. I'll never forget Michael in first grade. I was volunteering in Michael and Maggie's classroom and the teacher asked me to walk around and monitor the kids while she taught a goup. I was walking by a group of desks and could hear some noise coming from under one of the desks. I looked under that desk and Michael poked his little blond head out. I said, "Michael, what are ya doing under there?" I'm reading! He had a book, but I'm not sure he was reading. What a cutie. He had such a warm, friendly way with people. Michael and Morgan both, taught Maggie and Katie to waterski so a part of Micheal is forever in them.
We loved watching Michael grow up into the wonderful young man that he was. I hope you can find some peace and comfort someday in knowing that he has a special soul.

I am so sorry to hear about the loss of Michael. He worked for me at US Bank (Ustick & 5 Mile) whenever I needed help filling in as needed. He always went the extra mile with customers and everyone loved him. I was so happy and excited when he came to work for Chase Bank. He was a great employee to all. My Prayers and thoughts are with you his family as you work through this tough time. Always remember that GOD is your strength and shield.

I had the pleasure of knowing Michael and the Young family a very long time. Our families spent many days water skiing, snow skiing, vacations, road trips, living across the street and just hanging out. Michael was an amazingly talented and super sweet guy. I will miss him, his smile and his laughter. I have many great memories that I will cherish for ever. I love you Michael!
