John Benjamin Young
1929-2017
Peacefully with his beloved wife Edith at his side, at the
QEH, on Tuesday, September 19, 2017, John Benjamin Young stepped from
time into eternity, to forever be with his Lord and Savior, Jesus
Christ. A devoted husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, and
father-in-law. Survived by daughters Anne (Jon) McLean, Charlottetown,
Susan Rath, Paisley, ON; sons Paul (Tara) and Stephen (Cheryl),
Charlottetown. He will be greatly missed by his grandchildren Rachel
Rath (Jasper Munro ), Jonathan Rath (RaeAnne Schwandt) and
great-grandson Finley Rath all of Ontario. He also leaves to mourn his
siblings Leonard (Marion), Freddie, Shirley Jenkins, Fanny (Jim)
O’Connor, Christine Cuddy, Alba (Marvin) MacLeod, Lillian (Errol)
White, Marion (Emmerson) Murphy, and Georgina (David) London as well
as special cousin Judy Bryenton. Predeceased by sister Louise,
brothers Eddie, Gordon and Arthur.
John was born in Iris, PEI on August 15, 1929 to Nathan and
Lillian Young but lived most of his young life with his aunt and
uncle, Fanny and Harry Carr. As a young man, he joined the Canadian
Armed Forces and served his country in Canada and in the Korean War.
Upon his return from Korea, John met and married the love of his life,
Edith O’Connor. He was a driving instructor in the army and then
worked as a mechanic and welder before finally operating several
Charlottetown service stations with Edith before his
retirement.
John’s greatest love was for the Lord, and he was a founding
member of Calvary Temple in the 1950s. A dedicated man who worked hard
at everything he did, John loved tinkering in the garage, fixing
anything that broke, and coming to the aid of anyone in need. His
favourite pastimes included trouncing everyone at games of Uno and
Chinese checkers.
A special thanks to all the QEH staff who gave John such kind
and compassionate care over the years.
