Timothy was born on July 23, 1981 and departed this earth Monday ,January 9, 2023 at the age of 41 in his home town of Racine Wisconsin.  Timothy was the eldest of 5 children of  Timothy Young, Sr. and Denise (nee: Thurman) Young. Tim played the roll of the protector in his family and to extended family members. Tim was always big on challenging others on how big and strong he was to where he was known not to be messed with. At a young age Tim hustled by shoveling snow and cutting grass to help support his siblings and his gaming skills. Tim was KNOWN for loving his video games and drinking milk. We used to crack jokes on him and say MILK DOES YOUR BODY GOOD! His response was, shut up before I kick your butt. Tim used love to act like he’s HE-Man and do this flying kick in the air and knocked one of us across the room during a playful fighting match. Childhood was a little hard but fun for us all as siblings.

Tim attended JI Case High School and juggled a job always. Tim became a father for the first time at the age of 26 and 10 years later he has a total of 5 kids and out of that 5 he got his wish and got his boy! Tim had big dreams and goals for himself and his family. Tim was very proud that he got certified as a CNC machine operator to better provide for his kids. Tim worked as a CNC operator at Pioneer Products, until his health began to fail in 2014.

With a profound work ethic, Tim pushed hard to stay strong and healthy for his family but outside of that, Tim truly loved spending QT with his entire family by having movie/game nights, baking and cooking with his girls and family outings. Also telling his kids about his childhood and how they need to protect each other like he did for his brothers and sisters.

Timothy leaves to cherish his loving memory and continue legacy through his 5 children: Timiah Young age 14, Anari Young age 11, Azuri Young age 8, Timothy Young III age 5 and Shariah Young age 4; Timothy will be sincerely and deeply missed by his mother Denise Young and his siblings: Tiffany Young, Adam (Letha Ozier) Young and Shannon Young; grandmother, Betty Young; many special aunts, uncles, cousins & friend – too numerous to mention by name.

Timothy was preceded in death by his father, Timothy Young, Sr. (2007); brother, Matthew Young (2018); and by grandparents, Lewis Young; Beverly & James Richard Elliot Thurman.
