In Loving Memory of John Eston Young

September 28, 1962– September 28, 2026

John Eston Young passed away peacefully at home, surrounded by the love of his family, on Monday, September 28, 2026.

A proud and steadfast patriot, John devoted 23 years of distinguished and honorable service to the United States Coast Guard. Throughout his long military career, he embodied the service's motto, Semper Paratus—always ready to protect, serve, and sacrifice for his country and shipmates. His discipline, integrity, and steady courage carried over into every chapter of his life, especially in the devotion he showed to his family.

Above all his accomplishments, his family was his greatest anchor. John shared 42 beautiful, devoted years of marriage with the love of his life, Ann. Together, they built a life anchored in unwavering commitment, resilience, and deep love. He was a proud father, a caring son and brother, and the ultimate proud grandfather. His quiet strength, dependable wisdom, and warm presence will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.

He is survived by his beloved wife of 42 years, Ann Young; his loving children, son JD Young and daughter Jennifer Parsons; and his seven treasured grandchildren: Chase Young, Jackson Young, Danielle Young, Devyn Young, Dylan Young, Elizabeth Parsons, and Alexis Parsons, each of whom brought endless joy, pride, and light to his life.

He is also survived by his siblings and their spouses: brother Delmore Adler and wife Oni, sister-in-law Lynn Adler (wife of the late Vernon), and sister Maureen Mauldin and husband Michael; as well as many extended family members, nieces, nephews, and dear friends.

He was preceded in death by his parents, John and June Young; his beloved twin brother, Roy Young; and his brother, Vernon Adler. There is profound comfort in knowing he has been peacefully reunited with those he loved so dearly who went before him.

Fair winds and following seas. Your watch stands relieved; we have the watch from here.
