Scott R. YoungROCHESTER – Scott R. Young, 70, of Rochester, passed away at 6:40 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 28, 2021, at Life Care Center of Rochester.
On Nov. 2, 1951, Scott Reed Young was born in South Bend to Warren E. and Anna Reed Young. He graduated from Adams High School with the class of 1970. Growing up, he shared his childhood with two brothers.
Scott and Janet Kay Beck were married on Sept. 20, 2002, in Las Vegas, Nev. They have shared 19 years of life’s adventures. They enjoyed going to Vegas twice a year and never found a casino they didn’t like.
After 37 years, Scott retired from Kroger. He was a true cut up, preparing your favorite cut of pork, that T-Bone or fresh ground beef. Hunting deer and casting a line at his favorite watering holes was a great way to relax. As an avid sports fan, he followed the Bears and Indiana University.
His local memberships include the Veterans of Foreign Wars #1343, The Fraternal Order of Eagles #852 and the Le Roy Shelton American Legion #36. He was also a member of the National Rifle Association.
Left to cherish the memories of Scott are his wife, Kay; daughter, Bethany Hatfield, of Warsaw; three sons: Isreal Young and wife Laura, of Comstock, Mich.; Andy Young and wife Erin, of Denver, Colo.; Jason Young, of Minneapolis, Minn.; three stepchildren: Kim Webb and husband Brian, Eric Lewis, Tim Smith, all of Rochester; 14 grandchildren: Wyatt, Breanna, Lynsie, Makenzie, Maddy, Ian, Cole, Reed, Leilah, Ahlianna, Bryanna, Dale (Liz), Shelby, Elise; brother, Terry Young and wife Becky, of Granger; several nieces and nephews and three canine companions: Buddy the Beagle, Stubby the brown special blend Lab and Newfoundland and Pee-Wee the sorrel Dachshund.
