In Loving Memory of Michael Young
27th May 2026

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Michael Young, a devoted husband, loving father, proud grandad, and dear friend to so many.

Michael was the heart of our family. He lived his life with kindness, generosity, and a wonderful sense of humour that could brighten even the darkest days. He was always there with a helping hand, wise advice, or a story that would leave everyone smiling.

Above all else, Michael’s greatest pride was his family. He was a devoted husband to Catherine, a loving father, and a cherished grandad who adored spending time with his children and grandchildren. His love for his family was unwavering, and he worked hard throughout his life to ensure those he loved were cared for and supported.

Michael touched the lives of many people through his warmth, loyalty, and genuine nature. He had a way of making everyone feel welcome and valued, and his presence will be deeply missed by all who knew him.

While our hearts are broken, we take comfort in the memories we shared, the laughter he brought into our lives, and the love he gave so freely. His legacy will live on in the family he loved so dearly and in the countless lives he touched.

In keeping with Michael’s wishes, we kindly request no flowers. Instead of floral tributes, we ask that donations be made to Starlight, a charity that was very close to our hearts. Your generosity will help continue the wonderful work they do and will be a lasting tribute to Michael’s memory.

Forever loved, forever remembered, and forever missed.

It was very moving to find out more about you at the service, you made many people happy and raised a beautiful family - a life well lived, but I wish you could've stayed longer. Will always remember you and Uncle Mick in fancy dress singing Nelly the Elephant on the karaoke! My heart goes out to everyone that loves and misses you, especially Aunty Cathy, Michael, Natalie, grandchildren and doggos. x

Sadly missed bro, words never seem enough. We will all hold fond happier memories of you. Your playfully naughty streak that always got you in to trouble either with mum and the law when you were younger or parents of kids you encouraged to push the boundaries at mum's party. Rest well brother.

Remembering all the fun parties when we were younger, your brilliant sense of comedic timing that always made everyone laugh. The games of hide and seek down the brook. Remembered always. xx

My big brother, if you were in the room there was laughter and a few risky jokes.
We will miss you so much, we will eat your helping of cake and remember you with love.
We will repeat all our funny stories laugh and cry, the world is a sadder place without you.
Until we meet again❤️

Michael, Mick to his workmates.
He was one life's genuine good guys who I was lucky enough to work alongside for many years.
He always gave a 100% to every job we worked on together and always brought plenty of entertainment with his great sense of humour.
