John YOUNG Obituary

YOUNG, John B. "Do not let your grief be meas-ured by his wor-th, for then your sorrow has no end." - Shakespeare. John slipped peacefully from his loving family, July 26, 2013 to fish the high tides in heaven. He left his devoted son, John (BJ) Young, his wife, Wanda and his loving sister, Karen Mitchell on shore. John was an avid fisherman and consummate sportsman. John owned Brewers Garage in St. Petersburg for many years, retiring in 2005. In addition, John is survived by a brother, David L. Young of St. Petersburg; dear nieces, Debby Doo Farias and Elissa Jewel Henderson, both of St. Petersburg; his nephews, Shawn C. Mitchell, David Burton Young, Billy Young Jr., Danny Henderson, Devin Henderson; his niece, Shelby Young; and many longtime devoted frie-nds. A Celebration of life on Aug. 16, 5-8 pm, at their residence. In lieu of flowers, donations to hospice.

John, there are too many memories for me to write on this page. You always had a nice word for everyone and made my children's (and mine) holidays always special. You were one of only three people in the world allowed to refer to me as "moo-moo" :-) Prayers for a safe journey and prayers to Wanda and BJ to be strong while you watch over them from above.

my dear friend Wanda, I am so saddened in knowing one of our best friends has passed. I agree he's fishing the seas of heaven, and giving a few lessons along the way. Rick (Rickalus) may not know yet, and I'll try to reach him somehow. For years I have been thinking of you and John and BJ of course. I hope to see you on the 16th, I still have some classic photos of all of us, so precious; just as life itself. Always remember we shall all see one another when God calls us home. Never forget our 20 year friendship, it too is so precious. I love you very much just as much as John. I dont seem to find your address, but I will. My heart is with you and the family. My email is DBecker@ knology. net home phone 727 239 0617 With love and a heavy heart my fondest memories. Love Connie (Connelli) Becker, (the Bahrey dropped when I married David.)
