It is with broken hearts that the family of the late Gordon Rendell Young announce his peaceful passing on
October 6th , 2022 at the Blue Crest Nursing Home.
Leaving to mourn with a lifetime of beautiful memories are his devoted wife of 57 years Alice; daughter
Suzanne Turcotte (Sylvain) of Orange Park, Florida and son Glenn Young (Krista) of Burin Bay Arm;
cherished grandsons Marc and Luc Turcotte and Nygel and Jared Young; brother Ralph Young (Audrey)
in Hamilton, Ontario, sister-in-law Pauline Dodge (Cyril) in Mount Pearl, and a large number of nephews,
nieces and other family members.

(Enid) and Phoebe (Leslie), as well as his in-laws Rueben and Isabel Mayo.

career. Not long after arriving, he met the love of his life – Alice Mayo, who he treasured and was still
stealing kisses from. Together they built a wonderful life, spoiling their kids and grandsons, traveling,
and enjoying their life together. He was first and foremost a family man who was focused everything on
his little family. As a teacher at Pearce for over 20 years, he took pride in his impact on so many young
people, and his community and church involvement.
