Michael C. Young

Michael C. Young passed away on November 9, 2006, at the age of 67. Mike was born to John J. and Jean R. Young in Detroit, Michigan on August 4, 1939. At a very young age, Mike moved with his parents to Danville, Illinois, where he spent much of his formative years. He graduated from the University of Notre Dame and moved to Tucson in 1961, where he attended the University of Arizona School of Law. Mike was as true a gentleman as he was a loving, generous and gracious husband, father, grandfather and friend. As a professional, Mike was known for his honesty, integrity and patience. His love for the law was only surpassed by his determination to help his clients. He had a distinguished 40 year career as an attorney and partner with the firm of Duffield Young Adamson and Alfred P.C. Mike was the Board chair of Youth on Their Own, a past board member of Big Brothers/Big Sisters of Tucson, and a member of both the ABA and Arizona Bar. Mike was an avid hiker who spent much of his free time hiking the Catalina Mountains with his wife, children, friends, and anyone who could keep pace with him. Mike is survived by his wife, Lori; his mother, Jean; his brother, J. Gerald of New York; his stepmother, Louise; his children, R. Gerald, Patrick, Kevin, Lisa, Michael, Keely and James; grandchildren, Sacha, Jonathan, Michael, Mathew, Joseph, Samantha, Chloe, and Catherine. He was preceded in death by his father, John Young.
