John Young

JOHN YOUNG December 22, 1930 - July 17, 2010 John Young's earthly journey ended on July 17 when he entered the river of all souls to meet his blessed maker. He lived a full life, blessed with a loving family and countless dear friends. He will be affectionately remembered by all those lives he enriched. He went out of his way to bring joy to all those he encountered. His passion for life was infectious. His passion for painting was internationally recognized. His faith in eternity, total and absolute. He is survived by his loving wife Trudy, his daughter Vicki, his sons John and Greg and his granddaughter Tess. Today we celebrate a full, happy life that was his, the art he leaves behind, his warm smile, generous spirit and love of others. We will miss him. The peace and beauty of Heaven is a canvas we know he will enjoy towards total fulfillment.
