Justin Thomas Young, 42, of South Charleston passed away Thursday, February 6, 2025, at CAMC Memorial Hospital.
Justin was a 2000 graduate of South Charleston High School and Marshall University. He was a former employee of the State of West Virginia and CAMC ER registration and lab works. Justin was a sports fanatic, especially the Atlanta Braves and Falcons, but there was nothing he loved more than his family.
He was preceded in death by his father, Claude Thomas Young, Jr.; grandparents, Claude, Sr. and Patricia Young, Darrel and Patsy Beard.
Justin is survived by his wife, Jessica; children, Connor Young, Savannah Young, and Keith Rose; mother, Denise Beard (Debbi Creech); siblings, Ashton Holbrook (Drew), Brett Young, and Ryan Young (Amanda); nieces, Emilia, Reese, and Grace; mother-in-law and father-in-law, Pamela and John Rose; sister-in-law, Natalie Henry (Tim); best friend, Ernie Mangus.
Justin will be cremated and a celebration of life will take place at a later date.
Denise,
I am so very sorry. I know you are heart broken, John and I are keeping you and your family in our hearts.
Justin worked with me at DDS. He sat across from me. I generally brought him breakfast as a treat. He was literally the Unit clown. Always smiling and laughing. He had this bad habit of snapping these HUGE rubber bands across the floor and popping me upside the head when I was working…he would do anything to get our attention when we were working, and things were quiet. We did training together, and boy was he smart. He knew all of the medical terms and could interpret doctor writing that seemed illegible to most. We will miss him dearly. Fly high my friend….until we meet again.
My heart is broken
