Edward Lamar Young

Obituary Date: Tuesday, August 25, 2020

Edward Lamar Young, age 80, of Cleveland, passed away on Tuesday, August 25, 2020.

Mr. Young was born on March 1, 1940, in Cleveland, Georgia, to the late Joseph Henry Young, Sr. and Pauline Satterfield Young.  He was preceded in death by his wife, Virginia “Ginny” Young; infant daughter, Heather Young; brothers, Jack Young and Richard Young; sisters, Joann Harkins and Betty Burgess.

Mr. Young served as councilman for the City of Cleveland for 47 years and was a long-time faithful member of Cleveland United Methodist Church.  He also retired, after 36 years, as superintendent from J.A. Jones Construction.   He devoted his life and love to the raising of his daughter, Ashli.  The love is evident in the joy that Ashli shares with all who have the pleasure of having contact with her.

Survivors include his daughter, Ashli Young, Cleveland; brothers and sisters-in-law, Dennis and Liz Young, Cleveland, Phil and Melanie Young, Cleveland; sister-in-law, Janice Young, Cleveland; nephews and nieces, Dana and Patty Young, Daryll Young, Neal and Pam Young, Lynn and Ralph Terrell, Donna and Andrew Chumbler, Stephen Burgess, Stacy and Greg Hendrix, and Hope and Pete Dorsey.
