Robert Jackson Young, Jr.
February 15, 1924 — November 1, 2011
Christian burial at St. Mary Magdalene Church at 10 o'clock.
Visitation will be at St Mary Magdalen Church one half hour prior to the service for those wishing to come.
Because Dr. Young insisted on no eulogy there will be no mention of his 50 some odd years as a physician in Vermilion Parish. Nor will there be any talk of his life as a hunter, fisherman, farmer, boatsman, aviator, family man, or general lover of life. It is hoped that he will be remembered fondly by those who knew him.
He is survived by his wife of 61 years, Virginia Broussard "Koddy" Young and his four children: Robert J. "Chip" Young, III and his wife, Becky; Chris Young Trahan and her husband Joe; Ginger Young Hebert and her husband Mike; and Andy Young and his wife, Nancy. Grandchildren and great grandchildren are: Virginia Perry Robinson and her husband, Mike; Annie Perry Carmichael and her husband, Matt; Adam Young, Beau Young, Robert J. Young, IV, Caroline Young, Natalie Young, Sam Young, Camille Young, and Zachery Hebert, Liam Robinson, Lila Robinson, and Arran Carmichael. Dr. Young is also survived by his sister, Beverly Young Craig, who still resides in Baton Rouge.
In lieu of flowers Dr. Young's family requests that donations be sent to St.
Jude's Hospital, 501 St. Jude Place, Memphis, TN 38105, Mt. Carmel Elementary School, 405 Park Ave., Abbeville, LA 70510, or Hospice of Acadiana, 2600 Johnston Street, Suite 200, Lafayette, LA 70503-3240.
