Obituary: Gerald Young III
Dateline: Swanton, Vermont
Gerald "Jer Bear" Young, III, 23, passed away
unexpectedly April 04, 2015.
He was born April 26, 1991, the son of Gerald,
Jr., and Clarinda Young. He was a graduate of
Missisquoi Valley Union High School, class of
2009, and attended Johnson State College. He
worked for his father at Industrial Equipment
Services from an early age, and was employed at
IBM.
He was predeceased by his maternal
grandparents, Lucien and Lauretta Brosseau; an
uncle, Robert Langlois, and an aunt, Judy
Langlois.
In addition to his parents, he is survived by his
sister Gweyn Young and her fiancé, Walter
Woodard, and their children Walter and Bella, all
of Swanton; his sister Kandace Young and her
fiancé, Mike Benoure, both of Highgate; a sister
Beth Young and her daughter Jayden, of
Swanton; and many aunts, uncles and cousins.
Jerry was kind and selfless. He thought nothing of traveling to NY in the middle of the night to
comfort a friend in need. He enjoyed playing Yu-Gi-Oh, traveling as far as Nashville, Charlotte,
and Minneapolis to participate in Shonen Jump Championships. He loved chatting with friends,
having a gift for conversation that could brighten the darkest mood. Caring, loving and sociable,
he will be missed by all who knew him.
