Donald F. Young, 69, passed away on March 23, 2026, at Catholic Medical Center in Manchester, New Hampshire. He was born on August 15, 1956, in Lowell, Massachusetts, and was the son of the late Donald Young Sr. and Eva Young.

Donald was known for his warm personality and great sense of humor, bringing laughter and joy to those around him. He had a special love for Disney and cherished hosting cookouts, which he fondly referred to as his “tailgates.” These gatherings were a reflection of his welcoming spirit and the happiness he found in spending time with family and friends.

He is survived by his loving wife, Sylvie (Neveu) Young, who stood by his side with care and devotion.

Following cremation, the family will hold a tailgate-style celebration of life at a later date, honoring Donald in a way that truly reflects the joy and connection he brought to others.
