Byron Young Obituary
Byron E. Young, 23, died Sunday, Nov. 25, 2012, of a tragic accidental fall.
He was born to Dennis and Heidi Young on July 12, 1989, in Long Beach, Calif.
Byron graduated from Klamath Union High School, class of 2007. He later graduated from Heavy Equipment School in Eugene in 2008 and attended Southern Oregon Community College in Bend, Ore.
He was employed and currently lived in Montrose, Colo., building hydroelectric power plants for Riverside Company of Idaho. He helped build the plant on the C Canal in Klamath Falls. His real love was wildland firefighting.
Byron lived fast, just like everything he did in life. His big, goofy, free spirit and life that was full of character will always be remembered. Everything with Byron was an adventure. He loved motorcycles and was the Oregon State and Pacific Northwest Motocross Champion. He also was a national race Loretta Lynn Qualifier. He loved snowboarding and would often spend every Wednesday night and weekend on Mount Shasta with his friends and family. His mountain biking experiences in Bend and at Mountain Bike Oregon were some of the best times in his life. He was a very passionate person who loved his dogs Benson and Sable. Byron's biggest belief was in Karma.
Byron's gifts of organ donation have already saved eight other people's lives and will help over 100 more.
He is survived by his mother and father Dennis and Heidi Young, sisters Andrea and Lorene Young, and girlfriend Tiffany Butler.
Byron was loved by many and will be missed deeply.
The services will be announced at a later date.

I remember some intense battles racing
against Byron threw out the pacific northwest on 80´s. To this day I don´t think I´ve raced against a guy who rode with as much heart as he did. He gave it 110% every single time I ever saw him ride. It´s been a long time but I can still remember the races and times hanging out with him at the races very clearly. Good memories until I see you again old friend. Rest In Peace 555.

It's 2022 and I still remember Byron being such a shredder at keno. We where the same age racing 85's and that dude always ripped it up. Sending the catapult no problem, and battling with Jordan Mockridge. Those where good times. I'm sure heavens treating you well.

Byron, Even though the last time I saw you was 2 years ago at Lorene's birthday, I will always remember that day. You were so excited about your traveling and told me that you loved visiting Lorene when she studied abroad. You were an amazing person. Being bestfriends with Lorene gave me a great opportunity to get to know you. I have so many memories that come flooding back, like watching you ride motocross. You will be so grealty missed my friend. My thoughts and prayers go out to the entire Young family.

Byron was an amazing person with a free spirit. When he set his mind he followed through. He had such a big heart. I wouldn't be here today if it wasn't for him. I will never forget all the laughs we shared. You are deeply missed. Love you always.
