Leonard Young Obituary
Leonard Calvin Young of San Antonio, Texas passed away peacefully in his home on
November 23. He was 93 years old.
Leonard was born October 26, 1932 in Strong City, Oklahoma. Leonard lived a full life
doing things he loved with the people he loved. He never gave less than 100% to any
endeavor. And he naturally excelled at every effort. Inherently athletic, he was an avid
golfer, a skilled hunter and played minor league baseball. He served in the Army for 3
years where he received training as a paratrooper and a medal for good conduct. But
his first loves were his God and his family. He served as an elder in the South
Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses for many decades where he made many lifelong
friends. He was inherently kind and generous, never refusing to help a person in need.
A true patriarch, Leonard Young will be missed most by his family. He was married to
the love of his life, Patrianelia on April 11, 1958. During their 67 years of marriage, they
would have 4 children, 2 grandchildren and 6 great grandchildren. He is survived by his
wife Pat, daughters Kelly Lynn Saunders and Tracy Lea Pankau, their husbands James
Saunders and Jared Pankau, his son Christopher Glenn Young, grandchildren Drew
Calvin Saunders and wife Kaeli Saunders and Mena Harper Young along with 6 great
grandchildren, his brother Orval Glenn Young and wife Maryella (Tincy) Young. He was
preceded in death by his daughter Deborah Sue Young and brothers Alva Joy Young
and James Leeroy Young.
