William M. Young, affectionately known as Billy, passed away suddenly on November 26, 2021, at the age of 61 in Brighton, Ontario. He leaves behind his much-loved children Meghan and Saejun, and sister Loretta to join his parents, Claude and Maureen, and sister Kim.
He was fiercely loved and will be greatly missed by his family and friends. We will always remember his love of basketball, cars, collecting, extended family, and of course, a general puttering around the house.
Billy will be honoured with a private family gathering in a home that he loved by the lake.
My condolences to Bill’s family. I first met Bill working in the Markham Claims office and will remember him fondly for his great sense of humour and enormous smile.
We were so sorry to hear of Bill's passing. He was a great guy with a great sense of humour. We fondly remember our many conversations with Bill in the Markham Office. Our sincerest condolences to Bill's family.
So sorry to hear this, One of my first co-worker friends when I moved to the Markham Coop Office
My memory of Bill is as a caring friend and co-worker that went out of his way to help me and others learn the role and have a laugh or two over lunch. I also remember his incredible love and pride of his children. You will be missed Bill.
I was terribly sorry to hear of Bill's passing. Although we had not been in contact in recent years, I worked with him a great deal when he was with Co-operators before his accident. He was intelligent and entertaining and I will always remember fondly the many mediations we attended together and the interesting and funny conversations we would have during the lengthy downtimes. May his memory be for a blessing. RIP Bill.
I am so sorry to hear the sad news of Bill's passing and for your loss. Bill was a pleasure to work with, so decent and always a gentleman who loved his children so. My deepest condolences.
I was so sorry to hear of Bill's passing. I remember him as extremely competent and always cheerful. He was a pleasure to work with and I missed him after the accident. I hope he is now resting and at peace...
Young Family- Bill's family- I am saddened by the passing of this dear man. I was able to work with Bill before his crash and professionally he was a true gentleman to work with. I learned alot from him as a young lawyer at the time and I remember his smile and sparkle as we played together in the insurance sandbox. That is how I will remember him - a mentor and kidder' and so, I extend my condolences to each of you. May his memory be for blessing. Jonathon Kahane Rapport
To Meghan and Saejun: Very sorry to hear this news and my deepest condolences to you and your family. Bill used to work with us at the Co-operators, he was always kind and helpful to everyone. He has a great sense of humor and we had a great time working as team and had countless Friday lunches which were so much fun. My first motorcycle ride on his bike and for a while a few of us had this hype on learning how to ride a motorcycle. It was a pleasure to have known and work with Bill. May he Rest in Peace. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family.
You will be missed by many dear cousin.
My very deepest and profound sympathies Meghan, Saejun and Loretta. There are no words to express my heartfelt sorrow for your loss. I am also saddened that I never got to meet my cousin Billy, but have heard so much about Billy, Meghan, Saejun and Loretta from your beloved parents/grandparents, my Uncle Claude (mum's brother) and Aunty Maureen, who I am so very grateful I had the honour and privilege of meeting on two of their visits. Hold onto your precious and beloved memories of Billy forever. May his soul RIP. My prayers and thoughts are with you all. With much love and God's blessings, Suzie Xxx
Oh Loretta, I am so very sorry. My sincere condolences to you and the family. Holding you in my heart, and sending love and support.
My deepest condolences Loretta . If there is anything I can do let me know, even a shoulder.
To Billy's family, I am so saddened to learn of the death of your dear father and brother. I was a friend of your mother and grandmother, Maureen, in Richmond Hill days, when we went line dancing together. We had a wonderful time and I so enjoyed her sense of humour along with her sincerity about life. My husband and I attended Claude's funeral in Richmond Hill and I'm sure that we met, but those times are quite a blur, aren't they? I knew about Maureen's death but was unable to attend her funeral, although I wrote a message on the website at that time. And now, it is so hard to learn that you have lost your father and brother. This is so, so difficult for your small family. You have been living in Brighton for some time now. This is an area very familiar to me as my grandparents and great-grandparents lived there for many years, in Cobourg and Grafton and Wicklow. My husband and I visited there perhaps five years ago, continuing to explore those familiar places. At this time I send my deepest condolences to you, Meghan and Saejun and Loretta, knowing how very sad you are feeling. Billy was much too young...I know he had had some difficult times that Maureen had shared with me. I am so very sorry about your loss; I know how heartbroken you all must be. Sending you gentle hugs in your sadness and grief. It is just so very hard. Sincerely, Sue Foot...now in Toronto after living in Richmond Hill for many years. (I am going through my own grieving at losing my husband several years ago. Maureen and Claude both knew Chris and they got on so well! ) ((( Hugs)))
