Jerry Young, 86, a beloved husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather of Ebro, Florida, passed away peacefully on November 7, 2026. He leaves behind a legacy of love, strength, and deep devotion to his family.

Born on February 3, 1940, Jerry lived a life defined by his commitment to those he loved. He was the rock of his family, and community providing unwavering support and wisdom throughout his life. Serving as Fire Chief of Ebro for several years and Ebro City Council.
In his earlier years, Jerry found great peace and joy in the outdoors, especially when he was hunting and fishing. As time went on, he could most often be found out in his barn, contentedly tinkering with different things and working with his hands. He also thoroughly enjoyed relaxing with a good Western on television. Some of his family's favorite memories include watching Wheel of Fortune together, where casual viewing quickly turned into playful duels with his children to see who could solve the puzzle first.

Jerry is survived by his devoted wife of 59 years, Sally; his loving children, Anthony "Tony" Young (Donna) of Ebro, FL, Michael Young of Ebro, FL, Rodger Young (Jade) of Bonifay, FL, Kimberly Boutiette (Lee) of Panama City Beach, FL, Lindsey Cunningham (Seth) of Panama City, FL, and Rebecca Drinken (Bill) of Cumberland, WI; and his dear siblings, Melton Young, Ford Young, Jan Schulist, Sharon Sticher, and Faron Young.
