Young, Jr., Keith Barry

Keith Barry Young, Jr., a cherished man known for his quick wit, sense of humor and kind, loving personality left us on September 9, 2024 at the age of 64. Keith, affectionately known as ‘Barry’ by those close to him, lived a life filled with love and diligent care for his wife, children and grandchildren.

Keith was born on December 19, 1959. He was a man with many names and titles, but he was most proud of Husband, Daddy, and Papa. He spent most of his life as a superintendent for a commercial glass company where he had a reputation for being a hard worker and a perfectionist. Every job was done with precision and pride. After he retired, he was able to enjoy being an avid fisherman and spending time with his family and friends. Some of his happiest memories were on a boat with a rod in one hand and a beer in the other.

He is preceded in death by his parents Keith and Opal Young, In-Laws Phyllis and James Stevenson, Father In-Law CJ Foley, brother Terry Young, and daughter Dana Young.

Left to cherish Keith’s memories are his wife of 44 years Sharon Young; daughters Sheena Young, Mekaila and her husband Chad Grady, Kara and her husband Bulivye Yerxa; grandchildren Lilly, Dylan, Tyler, Austin, and Adelynn; sisters Karen Hodges and Sheree Montgomery; brother Curtis Sloane; sister in-law Angela Houser; brother in-law Jamie Stevenson; along with many more nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.

May his memories and legacy live on through those fortunate enough to know and love him.

There will be a Celebration of Life for Keith at Gardner’s Funeral Home in Floyd, Va., on September 28, 2024. Visitation will start at 12 p.m. with the Service to follow at 1:00p.m. Family will receive guests at the home of Mekaila and Chad Grady following the service.
