Alexander "Bb" Young

My life journey has been more rewarding than I could have ever imagined and I

am truly blessed. My journey began on December 22, 1939 when I was introduced to my

parents Alfonzo Young and Beatrice K. Sanders-Young who preceded me in

death. I am the oldest of four children and the only brother to three sisters of

which two precedes me in death, Teresa A. Young and Jennet Young Wilkerson.

I accepted Christ as my Lord and Savior at an early age. During my

years at St Therese CatholicChurch of Jackson, MS, I served faithly as a

member of the Parish Council and Knights of Columbus until I became ill.

I attended Holy Ghost School and received my Bachelor of science

degree from Jackson State University, in May 1963.

My work career spanned over several occupations including

Mississippi Valley State, Bolton Bolts and Screws, Milwaukee Electric Tools,

Jackson Public Schools, St.Dominic Hospital as a CNA, an active partner in a

private sitting service, but I did not discover my real passion until I became a

servant of people at the St. Dominic Community Health Clinic and through my

affiliation with Primerica Financial Services as an independent contractor. It was

through these vehicles that I was able to encourage and give hope to the

hopeless from both ends of the spectrum.

In 1980, I met my soulmate, Gail Seaton and we were married a

year later, August 1, 1981. During the thirty-eight years of marriage, we were

blessed with three children.

“And if I go to prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take

you to myself, that where I am you may be also.”

My invitation was delivered on May 20 2020 that I might go home to

my father’s house.

I GOT MY TICKET AND MY SOCKS!

Those who I leave to share my cherished memories are the love of

my life, my wife Gail Seaton Young of Jackson,MS: six children, Rodrick

Alexander Young (Candice) of Terry,MS; Joselynn Young of Jackson,MS;

and nephews, cousins, my extended families-The Superteam and The

I loved my life as a husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather,

brother, brother-in-law, uncle, co-worker, teammate and neighbor!
