Robert Young, Sr., a devoted Husband and Father, and "Papa" to so many. He was born in Texasville, Alabama to the late Grady Young and late Maggie B Williams-Young. After high school, he moved to New Jersey and married his high school sweetheart, Mrs. Katie F. Young. They were married for over 64 years.
He loved to play golf. He played for many years, winning various tournaments and trophies. He worked for Ford Motor Company for years and retired in 2003.
He and his wife moved to Texas in 2008 to be near their daughter. He attended the West Irving Church of God Christ where Supt. Andrew Jackson, Jr is the Pastor. He loved praise and worship and was appointed as an Honorary Deacon. As his sickness progressed, he was moved to Saddlebrook Oxford Facility where they assisted us with his care.
