When summer comes around, I think of John the most (even though we worked daily together for many years & I actually trained him) No one can throw a party, like John. I will never see a croquet set without remembering those parties! Miss you, John!

I met John about 20 years ago. I was an HIV case manager. His

John was such a constant in a sea of chaos. He was always calm and thoughtful, being genuinely interested in each person as an individual, worthy of dignity and respect.
John Young also knew how to have a good time! I’ll always remember John’s parties, his outsized personality, and his unwavering friendship.

John was a hero to those of us who work in the HIV care community. He was committed to his work, and he was a fierce advocate for the people he served. John was dedicated, and kind, and compassionate, and really funny. He was a bright light in the world, and we will all miss him. To Steven, thanks for sharing him with us; we're all better for it.
