Obituary for David Young Jr.
David “Lee” Young, Jr. seventy-nine, was born to the parentage of the late David Young, Sr. and Virgie L. Harris Young on June 24, 1940 in Granville County, North Carolina and was an only child.
He attended the former Joe Toler School in Granville County where he met the love of his life, Lucy Thornton Young whom he later joined in holy matrimony. Out of their union were born seven joyous children.
His career was in textile management at Kayser-Roth Industry and then farming until health conditions caused him to stop working. David was known for his cooking, hunting, fishing and gardening. Through the years he endured many health obstacles which prevented him from continuing his passions. However, despite those physical challenges, his life was an example of perseverance and trust in God. He was a member of New Hope Granville Missionary Baptist Church in Berea, North Carolina.
David entered into eternal rest on April 14, 2020, at Treyburn Rehabilitation Center, Durham, North Carolina. He is preceded in death by both parents, David and Virgie Young and two grandchildren, Christopher Dante Royster and Aaron Micah Bagley.
He is survived by his spouse, Lucy T. Young; his seven children Natalie (Ozzie) Holder, Donald (Vanessa) Young, Gaynell (Harold) Bagley, Vegena Royster, Dwight (Amanda) Young, Jacqueline Young and Tara (Emmanuel) Fletcher; his eleven grand-children and six great grand-children, and a host of relatives and friends. The family would like to acknowledge Allie Mae Terry and Rosa Sidney for their love, support and care over our daddy after the loss of his mother.
