There is nothing we can say that will take the pain away from the loss the Young Family has endured. As we mourn the loss of Brian we will forever continue to celebrate the joy, knowledge, support & life he shared with so many.
We will always hold dear to our hearts and will be forever grateful for having him inviting us into his family and are honored that we have known him for so long.
Where do we begin with the memories, I must say, my favorite memory was his nickname for me "the blonde", "blondie", "blonde lady. Whether that meant I was ditzy or because my hair was on the blonde side it didn't matter because that meant I was part of his pack.
We will always miss his sassy, witty, confident ways about him.
Love you Brian! May you have comfort & peace wherever you are

I am so sorry for your loss. I always enjoyed seeing your dad at functions and events. He had a fun personality and always seemed to have a pleasant smirk on his face. Lisa and I enjoyed seeing all the pictures of him and your family. They show how he really enjoyed life. I am sure his passing leaves a gaping hole in your hearts. XO
