Obituary
Michael Alan Young age 66 of Whitney, Texas died on Monday, November
29,2021 in Temple, Texas from a brain hemorrhage.
Mike was born in Dallas, Texas to Billie and Leonard Young where he and
his sister Judy grew up in a loving home. He graduated from R.L.Turner
High School but his heart was gone to his first love, racing, before the
cap and gown was on. Mike was an accomplished Motocross racer and drag
racer but also raced at any moment in any situation. The day after his
hip replacement he was racing an 84-year-old double knee replacement
patient down the hall on their walkers. His love for the sport lasted
all his life but the passion was gone when he lost his beloved mother.
After racing ended, he found a new passion, youth, and high school
football. The all-day Texas State Football finals trip was legendary and
the highlight of his year.
His other great passion was his family. He dearly loved our children and
grandchildren; he was their superhero. No request was too large or too
small, he was there with love, compassion and sometimes with a firm hand
but always total dedication.
Mike worked 40 years at one job, always steady, reliable, and just plain
fun. He was always there with a joke, a hug or even song and dance when
all else failed to bring a smile to your face. He spoke often of the
many friends he made over the years and treasured the support of these
lifelong relationships. Mike never met a person he was not interested in
and made everyone he met feel accepted.
I knew this man for 18 years and we traveled the world together. He was
always reaching for my hand to hold or giving me a touch for
reassurance. He was my person, my best friend, my forever. He will be
missed.
Mike is survived by his wife, Christine Herbert of Whitney, Texas. his 9
children Jason Young and Trysta Kennedy of Waxahachie, Shamar and Robyn
Brown of Arlington, Joni and Hank Blair of Providence, Megann and Clint
Bristow of Whitney, Joshua and Janeen Eldredge of Buckeye, AZ, Kerry and
Jessica Eldredge of Penn Valley, CA, Shane Eldredge of Whitney, Kurt
Eldredge and Angie Hess of Spanish Fork, UT, and Nichole and Robert
Chesser of Waxahachie, his sister Judy Young of Waxahachie, 33
grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren. We were truly blessed and
surrounded by love.
