Timothy Young Obituary

Timothy Lee Young, 56, fell asleep in death and woke up in heaven on Sunday, March 20, 2016. He was from Blairstown, Iowa, graduated from Benton Community High School in 1977 and attended University of Northern Iowa. He worked in the software industry for the last 20 years. He was an avid musician and loved riding his Harley. Tim was an inspirational man who left a lasting impression with everyone he met. He had a unique ability to light up every room he walked into with his infectious smile and sense of humor.

He is survived by his three children; Sara (Kevin) Bremenkampf, Jamie (Nathan) Berg and Austin Young. Krisanne Young - mother of Austin. Denise Kermeen - mother of Sara and Jamie. Three grandchildren; Gavin, Ava, and Adrian. His parents Leon and Barbara Young. His brother Steve (Mary Lou) Young and sister Lisa (Tim) Fontinel. His nieces and nephews Amy, Dan, Dustin, Tabby and Tisha.

His family was his pride and joy.

We will celebrate Tim's life on Thursday, March 31, 2016, 2:00 pm at Austin Bluffs Community Church. A jam session and final toast will be held at Johnny's Navajo Hogan following the service.

All of my memories of Tim are happy -- that is such a rare thing to be able to say about a person. Whether jamming in his basement, sharing his guitars, working together through some difficult odds in software, or just hanging out, Tim was sunny, joyful, inspiring and always ready to help a friend. I'll miss you.

Condolences to the entire Young family. I'll always remember Tim and I driving Ms. Jackson batty playing drums in the Blairstown elementary band. Tim was much better than i was....maybe it was me that drove her batty and Tim just laughed at me.Good times, good times. Man the band he's playing in now is pretty sweet. Rest peacefully Tim
