Michael Alan Young, 68, of Vero Beach, Florida, passed away on July 25, 2025. He was born on September 13, 1956 in Doylestown, PA and has been a resident of Vero Beach since 1980. He was the son of John William Young and Katherine Wanda Young. He graduated in 1974 from New Hope-Solebury High School, located in New Hope, PA.

Michael retired after over 40 years as a Research Machinist at FAU Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute in Fort Pierce, FL.

Michael enjoyed all of his years living in Vero Beach as he was very active in all outdoor activities. Including bicycling, riding motorcycles, windsurfing, boating, fishing, skilled gun shooting competitions and more. He had a big heart for all animals and was known to help his neighborhood "furry" friends by feeding them and making sure they were safe from harm.

He is survived by his sister, Wanda Foy, brother James Young and his wife, Virginia, niece Ariel Zicuis, nephew Daniel Young, nephew Cody Foy, and two great nieces and one great nephew.

A Celebration of Life with Michael's closest friends and family will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made on behalf of Michael to H.A.L.O. No-Kill Rescue Shelter, 710 Jackson Street, Sebastian, FL 32958, https://halorescuefl.org/
