John A. Young

Born on Dec. 7, 1943, in Mapleton, to John Banks Young and Elsie (Frain) Young which join him along with his two brothers and three sisters in heavenly peace. He is survived by daughter, Machelle Young and son, Lee Young.

John was a man who found joy in life’s simple pleasures. He loved spending time outdoors, especially fishing and hunting, and had a lifelong interest in trains. He also enjoyed listening to live bands and music, but what meant the most to him was time spent with his friends and family, sharing stories, laughter, and good company. He will be remembered for his easygoing nature, his appreciation for the outdoors, and the many memories he created with those he loved.

Family and Friends will be received Saturday, March 28, 2026, from 1 to 4 p.m. with a service at 4 p.m. Pastor Joe Barrett, Officiant.

Arrangements have been entrusted to Heath-Anderson Funeral Home & Cremation Services, 61 E. Shirley St., Mount Union, âHonored Provider of Veterans Funeral Care†.ã Condolences may be made at AndersonFamily FuneralHomes.com
