Michael Scott Young

Michael Scott Young, 61, of Dewey, Oklahoma, unexpectedly passed Sunday evening. Mike was bigger than life itself. He had an amazing personality. He inspired us how to live life to the fullest each day; how to date your spouse and be all in as a dad. He was best known as the Jokester and could make anyone, and everyone smile. He loved being a husband, a father, and a grandfather. He leaves behind a legacy of love and faith. Our hearts are crushed, and tears keep falling. Your family will miss you dearly, however, we know that we have Big Mike as our guardian angel! He was born on April 4, 1959, in San Francisco, California, to parents Durbert and Virginia May (Garrett) Young.
