Gerald George Young died peacefully in his sleep on Friday, May 23, 2014 
surrounded by his family at his home in Mandeville, LA. 
He was 73 years of age. 

He was born in Gonzales, LA and was preceded in death by his parents, Dayton 
George and Eunice Brignac Young, and his brother, Ira J. Young. 

Survivors include his beloved wife of 47 years, Diane Lange Young. He was the 
loving father of Laura Young Marquez and her husband, Martin D. Marquez. He 
will be dearly missed by his two grandsons, Alexander and Christopher Marquez. 
Jerry was the brother of Dolores Y. Dollar, and Eugene J. Young and is also 
survived by his nieces and nephews who were so dear to him.

Jerry was employed by National American Bank for 22 years where he served as 
Vice President. He then went into the insurance business and was employed by 
Paul Revere Insurance Company and then Mass Mutual Insurance where he dedicated 
himself to his many clients throughout Southern Louisiana. 
Jerry served in the U.S. Army and was honorably discharged in 1965. He served 
as a trustee of the Harbor Police Retirement Board for 25 years. Jerry was an 
avid fisherman and looked forward to his annual fall fishing trips with his 
brother, Gene, and their fishing group. He enjoyed travelling with his wife, 
especially their car trips and cruises. The highlight, though, was their trip 
to Asia after his retirement.

Relatives and friends of the family are invited to attend the Funeral Mass on 
Tuesday, May 27, 2014 at Our Lady of the Lake Catholic Church, 312 Lafitte St, 
Mandeville, LA 70448 at 11:00 AM with visitation AT CHURCH from 10:00 AM until 
service time. 

Interment will take place at a later date in the Southeast Louisiana Veterans 
Cemetery at Camp Villere in Slidell, LA. 

The family wishes to thank St. Tammany Parish Hospital Hospice, especially 
Donna and Ada for their loving care during his final days.
