Publish in a newspaper
Mr. Young, 78, of Mittie, entered eternal rest on Friday, October 31, 2025, at St. Frances Nursing Home and Rehabilitation Center, Oberlin, LA.
Tommy Joe Young was a man of steadfast faith and quiet strength. A devoted member of Shady Grove Pentecostal Church, he loved the Lord and found joy in serving others. He cherished time spent with his family, reading his Bible, and spending time outdoors hunting. For nearly thirty years, he faithfully led a prison ministry at Allen Correctional Center, sharing hope and the message of redemption with countless lives. He was devoted to his wife, Patricia, with whom he shared almost fifty-eight years of marriage, building a life rooted in love, faith, and service. He will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Joseph and Beulah "Teenie" Young; and one brother, Reverend Steve Young.
Those left to mourn his loss and cherish his memory include his loving wife of fifty-seven years, Patricia Young of Mittie; one son, Thomas Anthony Young (Dorothy) of Mittie; three daughters, Monica Lynette Toney (Donald) of Guntersville, Alabama, Angela Stout of Glenmora, and Crystal Hebert (Robert) of Prairieville; four grandsons, Luke Allen, Zachary Allen, Jason Stout (Andrea), and Jordan Stout; four granddaughters, Dinah Young, Eden Young, Lauryn Hebert, and Kallie Hebert; two great grandchildren, Cayden Allen and Parker Allen; two brothers; two sisters; and a host of nieces and nephews.
A time of visitation will be held at the Shady Grove United Pentecostal Church, DeRidder, on Saturday, November 8, 2025, from 11:00 a.m. until time of service.
Pallbearers honored to serve are: Zachary Allen, Jason Stout, Jordan Stout, Jonathan McManus, Robert Young, and Robert Hebert.
