Michael Young Obituary
North Sewickley Township
Michael S. Young, 61, of North Sewickley Twp, Pa., went home to be with his Lord and Savior on Saturday, September 5, 2020. He was the son of the late William D. and Blanche M. (O'Brien) Young. He was born on January 15, 1959.
He is survived by the love of his life, Valerie Young; his beloved daughter, Amanda Young; and numerous cousins.
Mike was a 1977 graduate of Riverside High School and earned his degree from Geneva College. He met and married the love of his life, Valerie Shaffer, on March 4, 1989, and they were married 31 years. Mike enjoyed traveling with his family, especially going to Walt Disney World and the beach. He was known, by all who knew him, as a dedicated and loving dad, to his daughter, Amanda and he never missed a school field trip, band concert, gymnastics show, parade, dance show and even supported her at her mock trials. During Amanda's time in the marching band, he never missed a football game that she was marching in, nor anything at all that his daughter was a part of.
He worked for WBVP in Beaver Falls and he was the producer of the wrap up show, for high school football. He was currently employed by Lutheran Senior Life and was the Multimedia Coordinator, for the Zelienople Campus. He loved all things sports, especially high school football and the Pittsburgh Steelers. He was also an avid bowler.
