Jim Young

May 12, 1955 - May 27, 2021

James K Young, Jr., Jim, 66, of Oklahoma City, passed from this earthly life on May 27, 2021 at the VA Medical Center. Jim was born on his fathers’ birthday, May 12, 1955, to James K and Marjorie W (Gober) Young. He attended schools in Midwest City and ultimately received his Associate Degree from Oscar Rose Junior College. He proudly served in the US Navy serving on the USS Midway. He continued his service to his country by working at Tinker Air Force Base as an Inventory Management Specialist and retired in 1997. He enjoyed substitute teaching for the next seven years. He worked at the AAA Baseball park and enjoyed meeting the players. Jim was a disabled veteran who participated in various local wheelchair sports including basketball and bowling. He participated in the National Wheelchair Games in Snowmass Colorado where he met Bo Derek, John Corbin, Vince Gill and Amy Grant. But of all of his accomplishment, Jim was proudest of his children: Trey (deceased), Wenesday (Kevin), Melanie, and Kyle (Leshana). He is survived by Cindi, his wife of 40 years; sisters Robyn (Paul) Storey and Heidi (Terry) Boevers; grandchildren Ivy, Calebb (Rebeca), Danielle (Mel), Sierra (Rick), Kimberlee (Baylor), Chase and Gabe; great-grandchildren Ameerah, Raiden, Zion, Jude and Lilly.
