Walter Clarence "Walt" Young

WATERLOO - Walter "Walt" Clarence Young, 79, passed away on December 15, 2025, at Strong Memorial Hospital with his loving family by his side. Walt was born August 28,1946 in Clifton Springs, and lived most of his life in Waterloo, NY.

Walt was the kind of man you could count on; steady, hardworking, and deeply devoted to his family. He spent more than 40 years with Hartman Metal later known as Frazier Industrial, working as a truck driver and metal fabricator-proud of what he built and the life he provided.

Walt was happiest doing the things he loved: hunting, fishing, holiday camping with family, dancing with his wife, and honoring military men and women. But his favorite thing-always-was time with his kids, grandkids, and great-grandkids.

Walt leaves behind his wife of 62 years, Sharon L. Young, and their family; Wally (Pauline) Young, Tim (Kelly) Young, Tracy (Scott) Young-Ridley, and Alan Miracle. He is lovingly remembered by his grandchildren Sarah (Jeff Rook) Young, Tim (Talia) Young, Nash Ridley, Wally Young III, and Jesse Young; and by his great-grandchildren Emory Ray Rook and Reed Walter Alon Young. He is also remembered fondly by his beloved canine companion, Luke. He is also survived by his brother Roger (Charlotte) Conklin and his sister Patricia Smith. Walt was preceded in death by his mother Loretta Springer, father Walter Bielawski, and his brother/sisters Phil Young, Judy Clark, and Carol Hearns.

A Celebration of Life will be from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. on January 10 at the Waterloo Sportsman's Club, 2654 Edwards Rd., Waterloo, N.Y.
