Donald Kiner Young, 88, went to his heavenly home on May 12, 2022. Don is most remembered for his faith in his Lord and his friendly loving heart.

Don was born and raised with his brother, Robert, and sister, Vivian (Iaconis) in the Linden area of Columbus, Ohio. He was the son of Ralph and Kathryn Young. He attended Linden McKinley High School and Ohio State University.  While at OSU he played in TBDBITL. 

Don married Nancy Ann Renouf in 1952 (d. 1991).  They had three children: Kathryn, Donald (d. 2006) and Christopher. Don worked for the family’s dairy, Young’s Dairy, located in Linden.  He also worked for Meadow Gold Dairy, Beatrice Foods and Wendy’s International. Don and Nancy were very active in church ministries. He directed choirs and served in leadership roles.  Don loved being involved in his children’s activities and Nancy’s watercolor career.

Don married Janice Pollock in 1994.  Together they loved traveling and spending time with their nine grandchildren and four great grandchildren. They were very involved at Dublin Baptist Church. They recently celebrated their twenty-eighth anniversary. The Bristol in Worthington, Ohio was their most recent home.
