DAVID YOUNG Obituary

David Preston Young, age 32, beloved son of Pat and Diane Young of Bullhead City Arizona, and husband to Vicki M. Young, passed away in his sleep, July 29, 2010, in Savannah, Ga.

David was born January 29, 1978, in Provo Utah. David attended public schools in Bullhead City and was a graduate of Mohave High School, Class of 1997. David was called to serve an LDS Mission for two years in Brazil. After completing his mission in Brazil, David returned to college to complete his undergraduate studies in Business Management at BYU-Idaho.

During that time, David married his beautiful wife, Vicki Finley, in the Mesa Arizona Temple, Dec. 30, 2006. David and Vicky resided in Idaho at the time of his passing.

David Preston Young was a sweet and beautiful son, and his life was full of laughter and happiness. He loved to make people laugh and compassion and love was his gift to all who knew him. Families are forever, and David has returned to his Heavenly Father in honor and love. We will miss him but we will treasure the reunion.

David was a blessed brother to eight siblings, Curtis of Salt Lake City, Utah, Darren of Bullhead City, Ariz., Tiffany of Orem, Utah, Robert of Springville Utah, Ryan of Eagle Mt., Utah, Heather of Las Vegas Nev., Greg of Salt Lake City, Utah, and Mathew of Flagstaff, Ariz. Also, David was a wonderful, loving Uncle to his 23 nephews and nieces.

Funeral services will be held Wednesday, August 4, 2010, at the Latter Day Saints Chapel, 1690 River Gardens Drive, Bullhead City, Arizona.

A public viewing will begin at 10:00 a.m. followed by a memorial service at 12:00 noon.

A graveside service will be held at Desert Lawn Cemetery, 9250 S. Rancho Lane, Mohave Valley.

Vicki, you brought the Gospel into my home when you were a missionary. Thinking of your bright smile and warm hugs still brighten my day. I know you love Dave so much and he has made you know what it feels like to be loved and cherished. I know you will miss that from him on this earth and that you will be homesick until you are reunited with him again. Always remember how much he loves you. I'm thankful that you brought him to my home so that I was able to meet the man that made you so happy. Please know that my heart is breaking for you right now. With all my love.

It makes me sad to know that a cousin that I haven't seen since I was a little girl went back to Jesus before I could see him again. I know that he is in a better place but he will be missed by everyone! My 4 year old is learning a lot about the gospel and he cried for an hour wanting his cousin David back, he asked why Jesus took him back and that it wasn't fair. It made me sad to watch him go through this and then I thought of Uncle Pat, and felt very sad that he had to burry a child. I love you David, may God Be With You Till We Meet Again!

David had such a wonderful spirit. Vicki and I have been good friends for quite sometime, I remember thinking shortly after they got married what a good guy vicki had found. He was so friendly and you could just tell that they had a good life together full of friendship and love. God most have something very special planed for David to do and what a wonderful blessing that is. It is so wonderful that family are forever. although David will be missed here, i know he is with our father in heaven doing something wonderful. It brought me great comfort to feel the calmness and peace at the services, the spirit was very strong and I know vicki and everyone who attending could feel that peace and love. I will be praying for you vicki and your family that you will be comforted during this time. I love you.

Its been a blessing to have known and worked for such a great guy. We got to share lots of fun times back east. Those are memories I'll cherish forever. The whole Young clan is in my prayers during this time.

August 7, 2010

I am a friend of Vicki's and met Dave at BYU-Idaho. They are (because they still are, just wating to be reunited) such a sweet couple. I know that they did great things wherever they were nad will continue to do great things in the eternities. My heart goes out to you and I have been praying and fasting that the Spirit will be strong in your lives to give you everything you need. I have a strong testimony of the Plan of Salvation and know that we will see our families after this life! God bless you all.

August 7, 2010

Pat, I'm so sorry. I had David my first year of teaching at Mohave. It was a sort of hard year for him. But, he always said he loved Free Enterprise and I appreciated that he always told me. Obviously he loved it enough to make it a career. I'll never forget his awesome hits on the football field!! May you have comfort in God. Craig Evins

I will not say I'm sorry because it's really something that makes sense to me in situations as this.. I will say David was lucky to have such a loving Wife As Vicki I have known her since she was a kid and she has always had a smile that radiates joy. My heart goes out to his parents, Siblings and most of all to Vicki..He is always with no matter where you go.

When those we love have left this earth, we still can feel them near. We'll see a picture, hear a song, and it’s just like they are here. And when we call upon our faith, when we believe and trust, we know the ones we care about are always ...close to us.
-Constance Parker Graham

My prayers are with you and your family.
