I miss you so much Allen. I've been a wreck now and again - especially lately. A day doesn't go by that I don't think about you - things that you might find interesting, or jokes you might make, or songs that I know you would really love.
You always had the time for a friend. But I'd give all the time I'll ever have, just to see you make everyone else happy even one more time. . .

A year has gone & past, but fond memories never will. Allen is still remembered by his many coworkers that had the pleasure of knowing him.
We all rest assured that he is in Gods hands now. He was an inspiration to us on earth, as I'm sure he will be, when we all meet again in heaven!

We thought so much about you yesterday Al. A year ago yesterday was the worst day of our lives. We will never get over the pain of missing you. We know that you are in a better place and that you are helping people up there, just like you helped everyone here. You are always a part of us and we love you.
Love you always and forever,

Still thinking about you every day, I can't believe its been a year - whether it's seeing anything that remotely resembles the old dog, hearing Zeppelin, seeing a guy in a flannel, or just hearing a good story that I know you would have enjoyed. Miss you ~

Al was as good a guy as you could ever know. I will never forget our time together as tennis doubles partners. We weren't the best team, but we had as much fun as anyone. He will be truly missed, but never forgotten. MW

After reading all the wonderful tributes to you, Allen, I decided to put my two cents-worth in. The greatest compliment I can give is that you were an old soul with a young heart, and I mean that sincerely with all the positive connotations of those qualities. I think Erin could probably write a book about all the fun (and funny) times at IU with you, Austin, Dawn, Curty, Zeke, and a host of others who called you "friend." I know they would all agree that you were the true meaning of that word. Your friendship and those memories will be precious to Erin the rest of her life.
As for Cary and me, we always loved it when you were around, which wasn't often or recent enough. My favorite time was when you "drove all over hell's half acre" to find our lake cottage. We were all excited at the prospect of seeing you there again over Labor Day....it won't be the same now.
You obviously touched a lot of lives during your too-brief time on earth. We were lucky to count ourselves among them. Rest in God's peace, Allen.

I wish there was more time to know you now as an adult. I really enjoyed out time together at Duane's wedding. I was so glad we could laugh and joke about your hair and that driver's lic. picture!
I remember many fun times when you were growing up. I was always so glad you acted like you really wanted whatever I picked out for you for Christmas. I'm pretty sure some of them missed the mark.
I am hopeful that Adrian will here many wonderful things about his Uncle Al. He won't grow up without knowing of you. Your family is pulling together to keep one another afloat. I know you would be glad of that.
Katie is very sad that she did not know you like so many others from Spencer County. She wants to know Adrian as a way of being close to you.
You are always here in our hearts.
Your Aunt

My getting to know Allen came from my son and him having a fender bender. The boys all became friends and he would stop by the house occationally. The Sat. night before was my husband Joe and his brother Brent's birthday party and Allen and his friend stopped by. I am the mom and I got a great big hug and we sat and talked. He was such a beautiful boy and so very kind. Very polite and courtious. My son called crying while I was working at the hospital and we could'nt believe it. We all wish we had hugged more and longer. I'm so sorry. My heart hurts so bad for your family. It's the people we meet along the way that makes us be better people. Thank you for making me a better person.

"If there is a load you have to bear
That you can't carry
I'm right up the road
I'll share your load
If you just call me"
Bill Withers
"Lean on Me"
It has been a week since the passing of my brother Allen. It has been so bittersweet for me to reflect on all of the good memories that we had together. Although Al's life was cut short, he touched so many lives and his life presence was so valuable in the time that he was here. My family and I would like to thank everyone who has expressed their condolences and memories to us. It helps to know that Al's life meant so much to so many. I am and will always be so proud to call Allen Young my brother. He was just so special, one of a kind.
I was thinking about the music that was played at Al's funeral and Celebration of Life ceremony. I think Al would have loved that his music was played. I was thinking about one of the lines in the song "Lean on Me" that says "I'm right up the road, I'll share your load" reminds me so much of Al. It didn't matter if the "load" was a personal problem or helping someone move, or anything in between, Al would be there. His friends and family all knew that he was always right up the road from us and we could always go for a visit and he would welcome us and share with us what was going on in our lives. "Right up the road" reminds me so much of why Al loved our close knit community. Friends who lived out of town in turn knew that although Al was not "right up the road" he was just a phone call away if they needed anything.
In reflecting on the funeral, Pastor John said "let your cup runneth over" this is so comforting to me. AL let his cup spill over each and every day. His life was full of family, friends and doing good things for others. I hope that despite our loss, we can all let "our cups runneth over" in our daily lives and go out of our way to do something nice for others in honor and remembrance of Al.
In closing, a friend of mine in Chicago e mailed me and said that she was with her husband on the way to work and saw a man getting his shoes shined on the street. She commented on how that was not seen very much anymore and told her husband about Al or "Shoes." Al will be remembered in so many different ways and in so many different places.
I loved my brother very much and will continue to love him forever. I am so very proud of him. Thank you to all of you for everything that you have done and for being in Al's life.

Words cannot express our sympathy over your this tragic loss of Allen. Indeed, he was a most treasured person to all who knew him and he made the world a better place in his short celebrated life.
May our Lord bless you with His peace and comfort in the days to come.
Love and prayers to you all.

Allen was a very special person. He was talented in everthing he did whether it was artistically, in school, or in athletics. Most importantly, I never heard anyone say a negative remark about him. I think this is a testament to what type of person Alen really was. I will miss him very much and my prayers go out to his family and friends.

i was sitting in the back during the prayer sevice wed. night so it was kinda hard to hear, but once i had to laugh to myself because someone had said something about the way al played basketball. i was one of the cheerleaders that was always dodging balls or big al plowing over all of us girls. he had a good heart and was never afraid to show it. im thinking of you and your family.

After reading all six pages of Allen's guest book, I wish I would of known him. He must of been one remarkable kid. Unfortunately, the only memories that I have of this young man is at the scene of the accident, as I was the first to get there after Brian walked for help. My husband and children followed as I ran as fast as I could to help, and I only write in hopes that his many friends and dear family members find comfort in knowing that he did not suffer, he felt no pain, he left our world instantly, being called to a greater place where we will all meet again. This has been a very difficult week for all of us. You have been in my thoughts and prayers constantly, day and night, and I pray that your pain and grief will lessen over time, as you continue to remember, reflect and share the memories that each of you have. It is obvious that he was very much loved, and will be missed by many. May God bless each and every one of you, now and always.

Allen, in the year and a half that I knew since I moved to southern Indiana you became my best friend. You had this certain appetite for life and friendship that I'd never seen before. You made me forget about home and enjoy my new life. You were truly a special person that the world needs more of and I will miss you so very much. God bless you and your family and other friends that will miss you dearly. I love you!

I did not have the pleasure of graduating with Allen, as I moved away around 1997. Ten years passed, but I remember Allen as a caring person and how he loved to make people smile. In this very trying time, always know that he made a difference in so many individuals lives and gave all many fond memories to hold on to. My deepest thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

Al was one of the few if not only people I have ever met that simply did not have a bad side. He could lift the spirits of anyone he was around, no matter what the occasion. He could stop by unexpectedly and put a whole new outlook on the day. One of the hardest parts is knowing of the times together we will never get to have, but I can find comfort in the great times we did have. "Big Al" will be missed by more people than he could have ever imagined. It was great to call you a friend broham.

My thoughts and prayers are with you in this difficult time. Allen was always an outstanding person. From earning merit badges in Boy Scouts to his years at IU, he did everything to the best of his ability. Allen was a man who loved life, and it turn we should celebrate his life, be proud of his long list of accomplishments and forever know that he loved us all.
Don't order any black things. Rejoice in his memory; and be radiant: leave grief to the children. Wear violet and purple... – George Bernard Shaw

Allen,
You are my best friend and brother. We have made so many great memories over the years. The trips to Bloomington, the discussions about music, movies, politics, baseball and just us and all the guys hanging out. It won't ever be the same without you, but I know you will be with me in every stage of my life. I love you and we all will miss you, but we all know your rockin' out with all the greats.

Allen Young, what a truely great person. I extend my greatest sympathy to his family and friends. Knowing Allen for almost 20 years has been one of greatest experiences of my life. Allen always found a way to touch everyone in his life; to everyone influential, to many a role model and to yet more a friend. I feel fortunate to have been able to experience many of Allen's great gifts. Allen always found a way to relate to everyone, bringing out their greatest qualities, many of which others didn't even know they had. Out of all of my wonderfull memories of Allen there is one thing he said that I will always remember, "If the shoe fits, get another one just like it." I wish there was another just like him. I only hope that Allen's influence has touched others the way it has touched me. The world would truely be a better place if we can incorporate his views and outlook on life into our own. I can't say enough about the wonderful things that made Allen the person everyone wanted to be around. I feel blessed to be able to consider myself a friend of Allen Young. He will truely be missed.

As i got older we used to play basketball at the park, and thats where i had some of the best moments with Allen. For me to hear about this really hurts me he was a great friend. He will be missed by many.

My deepest sympathy goes out to the Young family. I grew up with Allen's sister Emily and of course there was Allen. He and my sister were the tag alongs because they were our little brother and sister. We always managed to have a good time no matter where we were at or what we were doing. We used to live on his dad's farm in the old farm house that Allen was living in. We had some good memories there if it wasn't chasing the chickens or cows we were jumping in hay.I grew up with Allen and Emily and I'm grateful for having them both as my friends. Allen will always be in our hearts. He made people laugh and to be able to enjoy life. Thanks for the memories.

Emily,Sue&Phil, My thoughts are with you all. Although I really didn't know Allen as an adult. I do remember him as a baby and having the nickname boots. I was glad to see Allen and Emily make a trip to South Bend On July 15th for his cousin Duane's wedding. He spent sometime with Tyler and I believe they had a pretty good time catching up on things. Sorry, that I cannot make it down to see you all but my thoughts are with you all.

There are no words to express how sorry I am about your loss. I am going to miss Allen more than I can even say, but I am so glad that I got the chance to know him and be his friend. If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't have made it through high school. I have so many great memories of times spent with him. I feel blessed that I got to grow up alongside such an amazing person. I hope you can feel some comfort in knowing that.

To the Young Family,
Your son was a wonderful young man and a true friend to our daughter Sara. When my father died Sara had had an accident and gotten a concussion, Carla was out of town and I needed to go to Evansville to help my Mother, but the Drs said Sara should not be left alone. Allen changed plans, got a couple of movies and I think pizza and spent the afternoon with Sara so I could go see about Mom. I think that exemplifies Allen Young. We will all miss him.

Thank you for being such a great friend to my brother, Curtis. You will always hold a special place in his heart. Curt recently told me that you would've given him the shirt off your back, had he asked for it. That is the "true friend" quality that you possessed. You will be dearly missed.

Be Still
Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
