Jeffery "Jason" Young

Jeffery “Jason” Young, a resident of St. Gabriel, passed away on August 19, 2019 at the age of 42. Those who knew Jason, know that he lived full throttle. He had a strong passion for the outdoors (boating, fishing, frogging, hunting, alligator wrangling or mud riding on his 4-wheeler) and for LSU Football. He was a proud father, who loved spending time with his children, who kept a smile on his face. He was a reliable friend and brother who would drop what he was doing to help others. He was extremely skilled at fixing and building anything. He frequently volunteered to cook (inside or outside). Jason always ensured everyone had a drink in their hand and food on their plate. Jason cooked at the Papa George Jambalaya Cook-off to support St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. He was a member of the Knights of Columbus Council at St. Gabriel Catholic Church.
