Carson
"Sonny" Young,
Class of 1960, passed away
in Horntown on Monday, June 26, 2017, at the age of 74.
From
Fred Mays ('60) of VA - 07/17/17, 9:17 PM:
There is an
obituary in Sunday’s Daily Press for a Brantley Carson Young, Jr. There
was a Carson Young in my class (1960) who was with us up until his
senior year. It says he was 74 and I just turned 75 this month. I have a
feeling this may have been our classmate, am unsure however.
Thank you so much, Fred.

July 15, 2017 Dad, Living so far apart all our lives made it so difficult to develop and foster what could have been. Yet, I know both of us did our very best to talk and see each other when we can. We rescued each other and gave refuge every time we could, we held each other close, if ever so brief, but it always felt so good. The times we laughed together and the times I thought we should, the times we embraced and the times we wished we could. The times we spent together and the times we spent apart, I'll keep all the times forever and carry them in my heart. 831 !!! Sonny lived his life his way without exception. He loved his family, friends, and his many dogs named Fred. He made no apologies and offered his opinions freely. He accepted people as they were and he forgave quickly. Dad, I hope you are able to find the peace you deserve. Now you can visit anytime!! ~ Mark Evin Young, Phoenix, Arizona Kelly, Mark, Joshua and Chad, You are all in my thoughts and prayers. We don't always understand the way things happen in life, but we know God is always in control. Love you all.
Dad, When I think of you
I get a smile on my face and feel laughter in my heart. I have so
many memories of the summers that we spent with you. I always say
when people ask me about my dad, "He is always a good time." Some of
my favorite childhood memories were spent with you. The beach,
boating, fishing, crabbing, being the "bat" girl on your softball
team, but mostly I loved the stories you would sit and tell about
your friends and all the crazy things that you did together and to
each other. I will miss that. Mark and I loved going to Grammy and
Granddaddy Young's house. Just so many precious memories. You would
always tell me that we are a lot a like and that made me feel proud.
The way you would forgive and accept people for who they were. The
good, the bad and the ugly... right, Dad? You were always you...
Sonny Young... my dad.

Words by John Fawcett (1740-1817), after 1772
Music (Dennis) by Hans Georg Nägeli (26 May 1773 - 26 Dec 1836)
1. Blest be the tie that binds
Our hearts in Christian love;
The fellowship of kindred minds
Is like to that above.
2. Before our Father's throne
We pour our ardent pray'rs;
Our fears, our hopes, our aims, are one,
Our comforts and our cares.
3. We share our mutual woes,
Our mutual burdens bear;
And often for each other flows
The sympathizing tear.
4. When we asunder part,
It gives us inward pain;
But we shall still be joined in heart,
And hope to meet again.
