Gregory Young

Gregory Kent Young, born March 13, 1980, left this world on June 19, 2012.
Greg entered the home of Kent and Jennette Young who loved him from the moment they knew about his arrival. Greg was so happy from the moment he arrived. He demonstrated a great sense of humor, a heart as big as life, a great love of family and friends. He was gifted with great intellect and natural abilities as an athlete, being chosen as state Lineman of the year in 1998. He played football and wrestled at Copper Hills High School. He loved spending time with his cousins who were loved by him and who loved him as if they were siblings. He loved serving others whenever he saw the need. He continued his education at Snow College and excelled in his job on campus and as Baad Club President and was honored with state awards. He met the love of his life, Summer Isaman, who he married in August of 2003 in the Mt. Timpanogos LDS Temple. Greg continued his studies at Salt Lake Community and Weber State. In 2009, Greg and Summer were blessed with a beautiful daughter who was his joy. He loved spending all his time with Lilly and Summer. Greg later suffered from a seizure disorder, but continued his love of life and family.
He is survived by his wife, Summer; daughter, Lilly Elise; parents, Kent and Jennette Young; brothers, Brian Young (Natalie), and Brandon Young (Kristen); sister, Jennifer Moon (Brandon); nephews, Dalton and Owen whom he adored; niece, Kara, who he thought of as a princess; and his grandfather, James Jorgensen. He was loved by his in-laws, Von and VeraLynn Isaman of Salem, Utah; Holly and Matt Meagher; and niece, Rowan who brought him joy and an added sense of family love. There are so many people Greg loved and so many who loved him that we want to thank all of you for love and support. Especially the Spring Haven Ward in Syracuse, Utah and extended family on both sides.
Preceded in death by grandmother, Doris Jorgensen; grandfather, Max Pierce; grandmother, Norma Jean Young; grandfather, Kent Young; Aunt, LuJean Edwards; and an adored sister, Julie Young. The world lost one of their best men the day Greg left.
