Bradley Ray “Brad” Young, 40, of Snow Shoe, passed away as a result of a tree cutting accident on Friday, July 1, 2022. Born on October 13, 1981, in State College, he was the son of Dana R. “Dan” and Karen J. (McCloskey) Young.
Brad was a 2000 graduate of Bald Eagle Area High School where he played the quarterback position in football and excelled in baseball and wrestling. After high school, he played baseball for the Clarence Mounties for a short time. Brad attended the Clarence United Methodist Church. He was the owner of Young Tree Service.
Brad was a free spirit, who lived his life to the fullest, with no boundaries to bind him. He was extremely loved by all that knew him. He was an avid Phillies and Eagles fan. He was a member of the Mt. Top Pool League and loved to socialize at the Clarence Moose.
Brad was a lot of things to a lot of people, but his proudest title was, Dad. He treasured the times he spent with his son, Easton, and was the best Dad ever. He taught his boy to fish and hunt. He coached his little league baseball team, his football team, and his wrestling team and was proud of all his accomplishments. Even though he won’t be seen, Brad will be beside Easton every step of his life, cheering him on to all life’s pleasures.
Brad is survived by his parents, Dan and Karen Young of Snow Shoe, son, Easton Young of Karthaus, brother, Brett Young of Snow Shoe, and one niece: Mya and one nephew, Gannon Young.
