Mitchell Young Obituary

Was just in Dahlonega and walked through North Ga College. I saw Mitches name on the casualty wall. I went to Jonesboro High school with him and attended NGC. I am proud to have known him.

"TO LIVE IN THE HEARTS
OF THOSE YOU LEAVE BEHIND
IS NEVER TO DIE"
~Robert Orr~

Prayer for Peace

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace;
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light;
And where there is sadness, joy.

O Divine Master,
Grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console;
To be understood, as to understand;
To be loved, as to love;
For it is in giving that we receive,
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

Amen

To the family and parents of Mitchell I want you to know that you are not alone in the grief you are feeling. I too know what you are going through and what you will go through in the coming weeks and months ahead. You will have many questions as to why? You will have many things to get ready or go through and that should be done in time. Sometimes it just can’t be faced and that’s ok, for you will know when the time is right for you. There is no right or wrong way to grieve it’s an individual journey that unfortunately we now have to take. I ask that God give the comfort, strength and courage that you are going to need. When and if the time is right for you please contact me. You can cry, vent, or just talk as only another person who has been where you are can really know what you are going through. May God continue to be with you and heal you.

Rest Easy MSG Young. Your watch is over.

Thank you for your service and ultimate Sacrifice.

De Oppresso Liber

Please accept my deepest sympathies over your loss. I was shocked when I heard the news of Mitch's passing. He will always be remembered. I thought the memorial service was very well done.

Thank you to the Young family for the gift of Msg Young; for his dedication and service to our country and for his bravery. May God carry you through this difficult time and for all the days after.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

My family and I want to thank you for your courage and sacrifice. Our military protects the people and the liberty of the United States - they do such honorable work! Thank you!
God be with your family and heaven is blessed to have you!
May your memory be eternal.

I'm proud to say I served with Mitch, even if it was only for a short time in late 2006 while in Iraq. To Mitch's family, friends, and comrades, I'm sorry for your loss - you all are in my prayers. I thank God for men like MSG Mitch Young.

To the Young family, you are in my thoughts and prayers. Having walked the path you are now on, I know how very difficult it is. If there is anything that I can possibly do for you, please, don't hesitate to let me know. Your soldier will never be forgotten.

MSG Mitch Young - Thank you for your services. You were a helluva a guy at NGC and I am sure that The Group is really going to miss you. God Bless you and your family.

My deepest sympathies and heartfelt gratitude to you and your family. Thank you for supporting Mitch in his military endeavors. I am a military brat, so I understand the sacrifices made by family of the soldiers as well as the soldiers themselves.
I also knew Mitch at JSH.
You will be missed Mitch. Thank you for your sacrifice for all us back home.

Please accept my deepest sympathies.

I was just thinking the other day about Mitch, wondering if he'd be at our 20th reunion. I haven't seen him since just after graduation, though I've mentioned him many times in stories of our little group - our last Friday breakfast at Shoney's and his exploits that helped us make the news on the last day of school.

He always knew he wanted to join the military. You could just tell he was right for it. Even in high school, he wore his ROTC uniform with pride and respected what it stood for.

To the Young family, my thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Mitch, it's my honor to call you my friend. May you Rest in Peace.

To the Young family, I wish to express my condolences for your loss. I am so sorry that another family has to go through what my family is going through. The Nation mourns yet another American Hero.

From our military family to yours, we would like to thank Master Sgt Mitchell Young for his service and sacrifice to this grateful country, as well as send our deepest condolences for your loss. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

The Final Salute

“Brothers in Arms”, Military men and women down through the centuries, have traditionally exchanged “Hand Salutes” as a sign of recognition and as a way to render courtesy and respect one to another.

This “Hand Salute” is the last that we shall render to MSG. Mitchell Young our Brother in Arms. To his family it symbolizes the love and respect that we have for Mitchell. And to Mitchell it is rendered as a symbol of honor and gratitude to thank him for the ultimate sacrifice he made in combat while serving the U.S. Army and his country. No greater love is shown than a man lay down his life for another. Mitchell, you are a brave Warrior, a true Patriot and a national Hero. With your passing, our Country has lost a National Treasure. We bid you a sad farewell. You will be dearly missed from among our ranks. Be at ease. Rest in Peace.

On behalf of the 1,385 members of Lowe-McFarlane Post 14 of the American Legion in Shreveport, Louisiana, I extend our sympathies and our condolences to Mitchell’s family and loved ones.

To the Young family,

I know there are no words to say, except how sorry I am for your loss. May you hold Mitchells' memory in your heart and please remember he shall never be forgotten.

...For you every single soldier
Those who served so honorable
Your life was forever altered
While I’m home safe and free
I stand with grateful admiration
I stand respectful and so proud
I know I’m only a civilian
And I don’t even know if it’s allowed.

But I salute you; allow me the honor
to salute you with permission let me say
Even though I hold no rank know that from my heart
My humble gratitude comes from the deepest part.
I salute you.
