Jody Lee Young

Jody Lee Young, 40, of Bedford, TX went home to be with the Lord, on December 29th, 2022.

Jody was born September 7, 1982, to Latresa (Williams) and Albert “Bud” Young. Growing up in Bowie, Jody excelled as both a student and athlete, and could often be found hanging out at the High School Gym playing basketball with friends and teammates. A genuine and kind soul, Jody will be remembered for his caring nature and quick wit that kept his family and friends on their toes and filled with laughter. Upon graduating from Bowie High School in 2001, Jody attended the University of Oklahoma where he obtained a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration in 2006. He later moved to the DFW Metroplex where he worked for Coca-Cola and Pioneer Balloon Company.

Jody is survived by the light of his life, his son Boston Young; Brother, Mark Young and wife Bethany of Conway AR; Aunt, Glenda Campbell of Bowie; Aunt, Debbie Leonard and husband Mike of Bowie; numerous cousins, nieces and nephews and a host of friends.

He is preceded in death by his Mother, Latresa Williams Young; Uncle, Tony Williams; and Grandparents, Roy Gene and Donna Howie Williams, all of Bowie.

The family will be honoring Jody’s memory in a private memorial service to be held in the coming weeks.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to a memorial account that has been set up by the BHS Class of 2001 at Jacksboro National Bank benefiting Jody’s son, Boston Young.

Private family services will be held at a later date.
