He was born in Little Rock, AR; son of the late Marie and Perry Young. He attended Hall High School before further pursuing his education at Southwestern (Rhodes), where he graduated in 1976. It was in Memphis that he met Susan, his dedicated and loving wife of over 48 years.
After completing medical school at UAMS College of Medicine in Little Rock, Dr. Young returned to Memphis to begin his career in Internal Medicine at St. Francis Hospital, where he dedicated himself to caring for patients for four decades. He was admired and respected by his colleagues and patients for his expertise, compassion, and devotion to his profession.
Outside of his medical career, he enjoyed time spent outdoors and fly fishing with his friends and family. He also enjoyed watching college sports and had an amazing recollection of historical sports occurrences. But most of all, he enjoyed being with his family. He was very proud of the two daughters and son that he and Suzy lovingly cared for and raised, and his face would light up with a huge smile anytime he was talking about them. He considered them his proudest accomplishment in his 71 years of life.
Dr. Young will be remembered for his kindness, captivating laugh, impressive intelligence, dedication to his patients, and his love for his family. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
He is survived by his wife, Susan Winston Young, his daughters Jennifer Young and Margo Domico (Adam), his son Winston Young, and his granddaughter Sophia Domico. And his sister, Lisa Young Joyce (Dan) of Little Rock, AR.
Family and friends will gather on Saturday, July 27th from 4-7pm at Memphis Funeral Home. The family requests any memorials in his honor be sent to the charity of your choice.
