It is with broken hearts we announce the passing of David Allan Young at the age of 74. Predeceased by his father and mother, John and Isobel Young and his father-in-law and mother-in-law Jim and Josephine Seymour. Leaving to mourn with fond and loving memories his beloved and devoted wife of 53 years, Winnie (nee Seymour); his daughters Shari Costello (Glenn) and Lana Desmond (Brian), and his grandchildren Nick and Ryan Costello and Brian and Daria Desmond. Also, leaving to mourn his three brothers Paul (Debbie), Stephen (Lori), and Andy (Paulette), and their families, as well as a large circle of extended family and long-time friends.
David, or Dave as he was more commonly known, was born in Saint John, New Brunswick. After graduating high school, he pursued a career in banking with the Bank of Montreal which took him to many places including Bay Roberts, Newfoundland where he met his wife Winnie. They moved around the Atlantic Provinces a few times before finally settling in St. John’s. After 24 years in banking, Dave began a new career with Ultramar which saw him and Winnie make a move to Halifax, Nova Scotia where he worked until his retirement. After retiring, Dave and Winnie decided to return to their home of St. John’s.
Dave will be remembered for his love of playing golf and curling. His favorite pastimes were playing the piano, solving crossword puzzles and watching comedies. He was also an avid Wii bowler, and loved to play it with his grandchildren, and anyone else who dared to take him on.
Resting at Carnell’s Funeral Home, 329 Freshwater Road, from 2-4 pm and 7-9 pm on Thursday, March 17, 2022. A funeral service will be held at St. Mark’s Anglican Church, Shearstown at 2:00 pm on Monday March 21, 2022. Donations in Dave’s memory may be made to the Arthritis Society.
