It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Thomas Everett Young, a beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend. Thomas departed this life on January 7, 2025, in Olympia, Washington, the place where his journey began on September 22, 1950. 

 

Thomas was the devoted spouse of Glenna L. Young, with whom he shared over 53 cherished years of marriage, beginning their lifelong journey together on September 28, 1971, in Olympia. They were blessed with two children, Luke Young and Te Young, and a granddaughter, Crystal, who brought immense joy to his life.

 

Thomas was also the loving brother to Linda Fox (Stan), Patty Conn, Nadine Velasco (David), and Terry Young, and held close relationships with his numerous nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents, John L. Young Sr and Patricia Ray, as well as his siblings Diane Riggen, Mary Young, Eugene Weltzer, John L. Young Jr., and Billy James Young.

 

An accomplished professional, Thomas was a man of remarkable ability and dedication. He earned AA degrees in computer science and electronic technologies, which served as a foundation for a career that transitioned from 12 years in construction labor to two decades as an information technology specialist. His commitment to serving others extended beyond his professional life; Thomas was a proud veteran of the United States Army. From 1968 to 1974, he served with distinction in the Special Forces a Black Beret, with deployments to Vietnam and Germany.

 

Thomas's love of music and motorcycles was well-known among those who cherished him. An avid Harley rider, he found peace and exhilaration on the open road. His musical gift with the guitar further enriched his life, as he often shared melodies, creating warm and lasting memories. The ocean was another of Thomas's great loves—a source of tranquility and reflection.

 

Thomas Everett Young's legacy is etched in the lives of those he touched. Though his physical presence has departed, his memory and the impact of his life remain indelibly imprinted in the hearts of his loved ones and all who had the honor of knowing him. May he find lasting peace, carrying forward the warmth and charisma that defined his life.
