Melody and McKenzie,
Hazel and I are deeply saddened to hear about Rick´s passing. We are heartbroken for you but thankful that Rick is no longer suffering. We pray that our Lord and Savior Jesus will comfort you during this incredible time of loss and grief.
Rick and I went through dental school together and continued to work together professionally for over 30 years. Rick and Melody took impeccable care of many of our patients from my former practice, Carolina Dental Care. They cared for our patients with much compassion and professionalism. Rick will be greatly missed by his patients and friends.

I was a patient of Dr Young for many years and was grateful for his passion as a periodontist. Always enjoyed his staff and hearing about his daughter. I am so sorry to learn of his sickness and untimely death. My thoughts are with Melody and his daughter. Judy Wooten
