1961-2012
Anthony Lee Young, 51, passed away August 13, 2012 in Salt Lake City, Utah. He was born in Mildenhall, England on May 12, 1961 to Ronald L. and Stayce Marie Young. He graduated from Kearns High, completed several college courses and used every day as a learning experience. Tony was a successful entrepreneur, starting West Valley Hobbies over 25 years ago and was the owner of Digital Bytes Production & Design, a video production company he founded in 2002 after a distinguished career that included KUTV and Video West. Tony served recently on the Kearns Community Council. He loved University of Utah football, movies, trade shows and travel with his family. Tony was a self-described ‘techno-geek’ who loved gadgets, solving technical challenges and keeping abreast of the latest trends and equipment in the TV industry. As accomplished and impressive as he was a businessman, he will be remembered as an even greater person. Tony’s humility and generosity are as legendary as his genius and brilliance. Tony touched numerous lives as a son, husband, father, grandfather, mentor, employer and friend. He will be greatly missed but his legacy will live on in countless ways.
Tony is survived by his father Ron (Diane), wife Daryce, children; Heather Kuramoto (Brad), Ben Crowther (Shauna), Tawnie Crowther (Reid), Chantelle Young (Maria), two and a half grandchildren; Kadyn, Kai and the anticipated William Tanian, siblings; Ronald Young (Leann), Tina Evans (Dan), Gary Young (Darcy), Connie Kannon (Steve) and Mike Sambor. He was preceded in death by his mother.
The family wishes to extend gratitude and thanks to Dr. Michael Gomez, his nurse Elaine and to all the people who have given loving care throughout his illness.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to Intermountain Research and Medical Foundation in memory of Anthony L. Young, for cancer research.
