DAVID GERARD YOUNG

David Gerard Young passed away unexpectedly on December 21, 2023 at the age of 55. He was predeceased by his mother, Annette (née Sayers) Young; and his father, Willis (Joe) Young. Dave is survived by his sister, Joanne (Pentron) Murray; husband, Dean; daughter, Breanne; and his spirit brother, Giri Sharma.

David was born in Winnipeg where he lived his entire life in the city and had no desire to live anywhere else. He worked in the service industry at several stores in Winnipeg. Dave enjoyed working in this environment as he loved interacting with the people he met. He was a frequent visitor to the Winnipeg Humane Society as Dave was never without a cat or two. David was very loyal to his favorite sport teams, the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Raiders. He firmly believed that next season would be their season. He relaxed by building complicated Lego structures with the Titanic and Coliseum being his proudest achievements.

Cremation has already taken place. Internment will take place at 11:00am on Saturday, September 28, 2024 at Chapel Lawn Cemetery, 4000 Portage Ave. Following the Internment, a Celebration of Life will be held at 12:00pm on the same day, at the Norwood Hotel, located at 112 Marion Street.

Donations to the Winnipeg Humane Society would be gratefully appreciated in lieu of flowers.

David’s family kindly requests that all of his friends and relatives take a few minutes to honour his memory by sharing photos, memories, and stories, using the comment section on this page.
