January 17, 1938 - May 14, 2022

Richard Dean Young was born on January 17, 1938, in Fairview, Oklahoma to Henry and Emma (Schroeder) Young and departed this life surrounded by family on May 14, 2022, in Elk City, Oklahoma.

Richard was united in marriage to Delores Corrine Tucker on March 16, 1963, at the Fairview Church of the Nazarene and blessed with four children. Richard was a devoted husband and father who enjoyed family vacations each summer. His appreciation for nature meant he often came home with souvenir trees and plants. In later years, he and Delores enjoyed camping and fishing as well as spending time with their grandchildren.

Richard graduated from Fairview High School in 1957 and served in the Army Reserves for six years. He owned and operated Young’s Plumbing and Heating for 20 years before transitioning to maintenance at the Fairview Fellowship Home and then the OK Dept. of Corrections which he retired from in 2009.

Richard is survived by his beloved wife Delores; son Randy and wife Arabel Young of Houston, TX; daughters Kaylene and husband Byron Dow of Mustang, OK, Kimberly Stott of Fairview, OK and Kendrea and husband Chris Carter of Fairview, OK; grandchildren Alejandra, Kaileigh, Colby, Kara, Chloe and Anthony; brother Larry and wife Carol Young of Fairview, OK; and a host of nephews and nieces.

Richard was preceded in death by his parents; sisters Dorothy Bryant and Genevieve Unruh; brothers-in-law Glenn Bryant, Wilford Unruh and Jerry Tucker.

Visitation with the family present will be from 6-8 p.m., Tuesday evening at Pierce Funeral Home, Fairview. Funeral services will be held at 2:00 p.m., Wednesday, May 18, 2022 at the Fairview Church of the Nazarene followed by a private family committal service at Fairview Cemetery.
