Lyle Kenneth Young

Lyle was a devoted father, grandfather, and great-grandfather who loved his family deeply and unconditionally. Family was always at the centre of his life, and he took great pride in watching it grow. A tireless volunteer, Lyle dedicated countless hours to supporting youth sports, including volleyball, football, hockey, and baseball. He was a familiar and welcome presence at arenas, fields, and gyms, and was especially well known for selling 50/50 tickets—always with enthusiasm and a friendly smile. Through decades of service, he touched countless lives and helped strengthen the community he cared for so deeply.

Lyle was predeceased by his beloved wife, who passed away in 1997 at the age of 56. Their love remained an enduring part of his life.

He is survived by his children: Sheldon, Randy (Jeni), Kenny, and Jimmy, as well as many grandchildren and great-grandchildren who will forever cherish his guidance and support. A Celebration of Life will be held Sunday, February 15, from 1:30–3:30 p.m. at the Columbus Community Centre, 7201 St. Lawrence Avenue.

Donations to the Heart & Stroke Foundation in Lyle’s memory are appreciated.
