Condolence: Dear Bonnie and family
It was with great sorrow I read of Don's passing. I met you briefly when Jonathan attended Fairmont School in London. My son Michael and Jonathan were friends and we lived around the corner from you. (we were and I still am on Edgemere. My hubby John, passed away 5 years ago in June) Our brief friendship was one I have always remembered. Michael and I send our heartfelt condolences to you all. Hugs and prayers.

Condolence From: George w. Taylor
Condolence: It is always sad to me when I read of a friend in the obits. Don and I played football together on the championship team and were good chums at Mac. We frequently would only come back into contact at McMaster reunions and some track events. When meeting we always fell back into old friendship routines. He was a fast on the track and on the football field. A fine person and friend. Condolences to his family who have I am sure lost a fine husband and Dad.

Condolence From: Brian Rice
Condolence: Don was my hero at 1st Baptist-a football and track star at South. I followed his path to South and Mac. At South he was my coach along with my Dad. What a team. Amazing eye for talent and he got the most out of it. He took us everywhere. Something that inspired me when I became a coach. A legend for sure- his memory will live on in lives that he touched.

Condolence From: Ross Spettigue
Condolence: Both Dr. Jamie Henderson and I, former students at London South Collegiate, would like to express to Don's family our sincere condolences at the passing of Don (Shadow) Young. Jamie and Don were football teammates and I (being younger) was a junior player at that time. Don was both an outstanding athlete (complete with blazing speed) and a wonderful person as well. Don became an outstanding teacher and coach in London. As we reflected upon Don today, those great qualities possessed by Don will always remain intact in our memories.

Condolence:
We are saddened to hear of Mr. Young's passing. Our sincerest condolences to his family.
Mr. Young was our phys-ed teacher and track coach while at South Collegiate in London. His inspirational enthusiasm was contagious.
He treated us all as equals, regardless of our respective potentials (or lack of), and he simply asked for our best efforts.
The lessons he taught by his example went beyond sport, faith and work ethic. For me, as for many I'm sure, Mr. Young has had a unequivocally positive influence on how we've lived our adult lives.
"Thank you sir." And God bless you.

Condolence: So sorry to hear this sad news. My thoughts and prayers are with the Young family, especially with Gavin, who is a friend and colleague. I had the honour of having Don as an instructor for an additional teaching qualification course--he was outstanding and I learned so much from his expertise in the field of teaching. My deepest sympathies.

Condolence: Mr. Young was my Cross Country and Track and Field coach at Sir Wilfid Laurier Secondary School. He was a great role model, fantastic person and a caring coach. Through out the years I have thought about him periodically because if it wasn't for him pushing me to the fullest I wouldn't be the person I am today. Thank you Mr.Young, you will be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with the family at this time. Sorry for your loss. Sandy Farrell
