In Loving memory of Joe F. Young who passed away on November 4, 2018.

Joe was a strong-willed inspiration to all who knew him, and his legacy lives on in the hearts of many.

Joe was born and raised in Gilroy to his loving parents Florence and Ning Young. He was a very dedicated man who had a long and successful farming career with his

father. Joe found success in what he loved, and this included his lifetime love and soulmate, Jeanie Wong Young whom he married and resided with in Gilroy for 56 years.

Joe loved his family and friends dearly. He touched the hearts of so many in his life. He was extremely passionate towards those he loved because they meant the world to him. Joe was a role model to his family, including his children, grandchildren, and extended family, showing them the value of hard work. He was a pillar of strength, determination, and love.

Joe was preceded in death by his loving wife, Jeanie, brothers, and sister. He leaves his loving daughters Vivian, Brenda (Ray Marable), and Phyllis (Matt Kong), as well as his adored grandchildren Jeffrey Joseph Kong, Alexis Jeanie Kong, and Sydney Joelle Marable. His family was the light of his life, and this was evident in how much he loved, cared for, and protected them.

Joe was a father figure to many by teaching and providing guidance. He was fondly known as "Grandpa Joe" to many. His memory continues to live through his life's work in farming, the people he touched, and his family.
