James Michael Young Sr.

Jim Young, age 64, of Marshfield, Wisconsin, passed away on August 11th, 2025, at the family cabin.
Jim was born on December 6th, 1960, in St. Paul, Minnesota to Roger Alan Young, II (Father) (Wife, Epha Jane Young) and Jeanne Marie Young (Mother).
Jim grew up in the St. Paul area and went on to work for the Burington Railroad in Alliance, Nebraska at the age of 17. He returned home to Minnesota where he assisted in the development of Guy Metals where he established life-long lasting relationships within the Stainless-Steel Industry, showing up on the doorstep and calling on anyone. Opportunity in Wisconsin transpired to Jim moving his family to Marshfield, Wisconsin where his Wife Phyllis, Brother Bill, and countless others along the journey assisted in building Basic Stainless & Patriot Metals. Through many incredible journeys, Jim's love and passion shifted towards helping cancer patients and supporting families through their journeys.
One of Jim's favorites quotes by Augustus McCrae was, "It ain't dying I'm talking about, its living", and there was no shortage of living on Jim's behalf. He was known to live life to the fullest through travel, adventures, detours, and mischief. He enjoyed business, golf, fishing, hunting, or meeting a random person on the street; of which a story that comes to mind and a smile brought to the face. Jim will forever be remembered for his stories, laughter, and love.
He is survived by his loving Wife Phyllis Young of 37 years; Children, Morgan Tainter (Husband, Shay Tainter) and James Michael Young Jr.; Grandchild, Scotty Lynn Tainter; Friends and family.
