Martin Stanley Young

He was born to the late Gilbert Joseph and Goldie Fay (Johnson) Young on August 9th, 1934, in Kokomo, Indiana. On January 3, 1964 he married his sweetheart, Mary A. Young, who passed away on March 30, 2007.

Martin retired from Chrysler. He lived to ride motorcycles and made yearly trips with his wife to Sturgis and Daytona. He enjoyed talking to people from around the world on his ham radio, and he never met a stranger. Martin always found humor in a situation and joked around to put people at ease. He found friendship in his gallivanting companion, Wanda Russell, who passed away in 2019. Above all, he praised the Lord and loved his family more than life itself.

He is survived by his children, Steven Young; Angela (Pablo) Chavez; Joseph Young; and Pearl Layton; grandchildren, Shawna (Brandon) Turner; Kade Young; Courtney (Bobby) Stephen; Cody Widner; Emily, Abby, Hanna and Alivia Layton; great-grandchildren, Braden and Kalyn Turner; Ethan, Sharon and Nolan Young.

He was preceded in death by his parents; brothers Roland Rhea; Paul Helms; John Young; and Andy Young; wife Mary Young; daughters, Joyce (Michael) Everhart and Sharon K. Young.
