Chuck was an only child born to Olga and Howard, but was also blessed with a large extended family. From the birth of his first grandchild, he preferred to be called Pappy in honour of his Pappy with whom he shared the same name (Charles “Pappy” Young). Chuck spent many years in the oil patch as a geophysicist. A Cub leader for more than 25 years, he was known to many young people as Baloo, was an invaluable volunteer at Foothills Academy, as well as a long serving board member for the Nickle Family Foundation. Charles was predeceased by his mother, Olga Chesney (Young/Nickle); father, Howard Young; stepdad, Art Chesney, and step-sister, Pat Orr (Chesney). Pappy will be forever remembered by his wife, Brenda; first wife, Susanne; sons, James Young (Chas) and Patrick Young, and step-son, Travis Arrowsmith; and by his grandkids who were the apple of his eye, Gaby, Carter, and Noah. We will live with you in our hearts every day, and live our lives with the lessons and the laughter you passed on to us.
