Clinton Young Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Goettsch Funeral Home - Anamosa on Mar. 3, 2026.
Clinton Thomas Young, 61, of Anamosa, Iowa, passed away at his home on Wednesday, February 25, 2026, following ongoing health issues.

Clinton was born on June 7, 1964, in Missouri to Connie Young and Frank Jr. Young. He proudly served his country in the United States Army as a Sergeant, completing four years of active-duty service.

Clinton dedicated over 20 years of his career to the Operators Union, working as an operator, foreman, and dirt superintendent. In his later years, he worked at Boomerang, where he remained until his health required him to step away from work. He was known for his strong work ethic and leadership in the field.

He was preceded in death by his daughter, Jennifer Ortgies; his parents, Connie Young and Frank Jr. Young; and his grandson, Braxton Young.

Clinton is survived by his sons, Frank Young (Beth), Robert Young (Kelly), and Derek Young (Kylie); his siblings, Danny Young (Theresa), Kay Etringer, and Brenda Thomas (Kim); as well as multiple grandchildren, nieces, and nephews.

Burial services will be held at Amber Cemetery on Friday, March 6, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. A Celebration of Life will follow the burial at the American Legion, 300 Chamber Court, Anamosa, Iowa. Friends and family who do not attend the burial are invited to join the Celebration of Life beginning at 11:30 a.m.
