It is with great sadness we share the news that John Young died on February 13th, 2019. John was born in 1934 in Indian Head, Saskatchewan. His parents owned RD Young Building Supplies. He had two sisters, Edna (predeceased ) and Doreen. The family business was sold in 1950 and the family moved to Victoria. John had a long career in sales where he provided building supplies to countless homes in the city. John married Nelleke in 1957 and they had three children, Brian (predeceased), Dianne and Susan, and also four grandchildren, Eric, Bradley, Melissa and Brent. In 1991, John married Marilyn with whom he shared 28 wonderful years and two more grandchildren, Taylor and Willow. He was a member of the Knights of Columbus and active in the church. He loved talking to people, was a curious person and he always had room for dessert. John was loved and he will be missed.
The family would like to thank John’s long time doctors Dr. Pengilly and Dr. Yvorchuck, his current doctors, Dr. Dejaram and Dr. Denott and the nursing staff at Royal Jubilee. The way all of you tried so very hard to keep him here meant the world to us.
Mass will be held on Thursday, February 28 at 11:00 a.m. at St. Joseph The Worker Parish, 753 Burnside Road West, Victoria. Donations, if so desired, may be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation. Condolences may be offered to the family below.
