John Paul Young was born January 17, 1934 in Park Rapids, Minnesota, the son of John H. and Sally (Carey) Young. He grew up in Park Rapids with his ten siblings. John met Gladys Kluge just prior to being drafted in the U.S. Army and serving his country in Germany.

After returning, he and Gladys continued their courtship. The two were married on April 2, 1960 in Port Washington, Wisconsin. John worked as an over the road truck driver for various Midwestern trucking companies while Gladys stayed home with their three young children. In 1978 they moved to Waterloo and Gladys later joined John in the trucking business. John loved games and puzzles and could diagnose engine problems on any vehicle by ear!

John passed away at home on Thursday, February 19, 2015, at the age of 81 years.

He was preceded in death by his parents, one brother, Lewis and three sisters, Loretta, Florence and Sally.

John is survived by his wife, Gladys; a son, Paul (Jenny) Young of Burnsville, Minnesota; two daughters, Cheryl (David) Cowley and Brenda (Craig) Ceilley, both of Waterloo; one brother, Ken; five sisters: Carol, Edna, Linda, Darla, and Gloria; six grandchildren; and five great-grandchildren.

Memorials may be directed to the family.
