Young, David It is with profound sorrow and fond memories that the family of David Young announces his passing on May 23rd, 2016. Predeceased by his beloved wife Susane in 2015, devoted parents Victor and Evelyn Young and loving siblings Bert, Gene, and Lorraine. Dave is survived by adoring son Jason and his wife Chantal and loving sister Maureen. Proud Grampy to cherished granddaughter Ella. After employment with DuPont and London Life, Dave enjoyed the majority of his working life as the Diary Manager at IGA/Loeb/Metro. Quick with a smile and kind word, Dave made many friends and acquaintances among staff and customers alike. Dave's relentless dedication to minor league baseball in Perth was well known as he was a fixture at most of the area baseball diamonds. Respected as a fair and knowledgeable umpire he was selected to officiate in the Little League World Series and was awarded the Perth Sportsman of the Year. His fun loving and passionate nature was best illustrated in the countless ends of curling, frames of billiards, and rounds of golf played with fast friends. Dave's sporting successes at the local and provincial level were only rivaled by the good times, great stories and lifelong friends that he enjoyed. Dave was widely known and respected as his genuine and loving personality touched many people. Fiercely proud and supportive to both family and friends, his wit, guidance, dedication and passion will be sorely missed and his warmth will never be replaced. Dave's life will be celebrated on Thursday May 26th, 2016 by Mass of Christian Burial at St. John's Catholic Church, Perth at 11:00 A.M. with reception to follow at Blair and Son Funeral Home Family Centre, 15 Gore St., West, Perth. Expressions of sympathy, in lieu of flowers, may be directed to St. John's Catholic Church Restoration Fund or the Canadian Cancer Society.
