David Calvin Young was born August 24,1960 to the late Charles James

Thomas and Ruth Eleanor Young. David attended Dorchester High School

in Boston Massachusetts through 11th grade and then extended his

education and training in the U.S. Department of Labor Job Corps to

completion.

David was a guy who enjoyed being a son, brother, father,

uncle, husband, grandfather, and friend. His infectious smile and bass

in his voice could often be seen and heard from a mile away. David had

a sense of humor and loved to crack jokes to make you smile. He was a

pet lover and always had a dog "man's best friend" as he would say!

Although David began to struggle with his health overtime, he never

let that stop him or hold him down! David had a "heart of gold" and

always enjoyed being there for his family and friends. He often spoke

about his love for his wife Angie, son Anthony, his daughter

Alexandria, stepdaughters Tia, Dee, Sha and grandchildren.

David's faith and love for God was his strength, in which he received Jesus

Christ as his Lord and Savior! David was a member of Appointed City

Church where his nephew Pastor David serves, he loved to watch him

preach faithfully every Sunday. He often had endless conversations

with his sister Pastor Carolyn expressing, "Sis you know I have faith

in God no matter what" Countless times he recited Psalm 23 during his

struggle with his health, because his faith always superseded his fear

of death. David's passion and favorite time of the year was football

season. He was excited when preseason started because he looked

forward to spending hours on the phone with his sister Cookie and her

husband Kevin debating about football. David, a true Bostonian and

Patriot fan, rooted for the Patriots with a sure bet to win! The Trio

of brothers David, Micheal, & Colt worked together as a team for 1810

Realty to prepare and turnover Section 8 apartments. David enjoyed

spending time with his family whether for work, play or fellowship.

In 2016 David and Angie relocated to Millsboro, Delaware from Boston,

MA to unite with their family. They later purchased a home and settled

in Blades, Delaware. On July 29, 2025, in the good fight of faith David departed this life to take his rest.

David was preceded in death by his brother, Johnny B. Young Jr. and sister,

Gwendolyn D. Young.

David memories will be cherished; his beloved

wife Angela Strand-Young; son, Anthony Conway of Boston, MA,

daughter, Alexandria (Reginald) Francois of Pawtucket, RI;

stepdaughters, Latisha (Lamarcus) Little of Milford, DE, Idriea

(De'Aundre) Simmons of Seaford, DE, Rasha Strand of Millsboro, DE; 18

grandchildren, 12 great grandchildren, four brothers, Charles N. Thomas

of Brockton, MA, Kevin Thomas of Brockton, MA, Micheal (Evette) Young

of Brockton, MA, Colt Young of Brockton, MA; three sisters, Charlene (

Kevin) Johnson of Brockton, MA, Carolyn A. Thomas-Claiborne of Randolf,

MA, Michelle (Daniel) Burns of Roxbury, MA; one special sister in

law, Mae Sue Dale of Blades, DE. And a host of nephews, nieces,

great-nephews, great-nieces, family & friends. David, may you rest in

the bosom of Jesus Christ.
