Michael Darrah Young
August 17, 1969 - February 5, 2015
Michael Darrah Young, 45, was a man with a warm heart and a beautiful soul. He bravely faced the challenge of epilepsy throughout his life and finally traded in his worldly struggles for wings to fly on February 5, 2015.
Mike was born in Portland, Oregon, on August 17, 1969. He was raised on the family farm in rural Buena Vista where he learned to buck hay and speak and charm the animals in the field. Although a farmer to his core, he was also an athlete of note at Central High School, especially in wrestling and football. During his Senior year in 1986 his classmates voted him "Mister Football" during their Homecoming game.
Michael leaves behind his wife, Irma; his three children, Darrahlyn, Michael II, and Mikayla; father and step-mother, Dr. Paul and Linnda Young; mother, Sylvia Lee Young; sister, Kathy Heide (Tony); sister, Jenni Carter (Bruce); brother, Aaron Young (Amy); step-sister and brother, Deena Fitts and T.J. Smith; and a host of special aunts, uncles, cousins, nephews and nieces. Of special note is the compassion and love from and for his cadre of long-standing and loyal friends.
Viewing is welcomed from 4-8 p.m. on Thursday, February 12, at Farnstrom Mortuary in Independence. A Celebration of Life will be held at 2 p.m. on Saturday, February 14th at Central Baptist Church, 655 Pacific Avenue S, Monmouth. Contributions in memory of Michael may be made to the Epilepsy Foundation Northwest, in care of Farnstrom Mortuary, 410 Monmouth Street, Independence, Oregon, 97351.
