“He will be missed dearly. I just loved that smile he always had no matter how bad your day was going his smile would always make it better. When I first heard the news from his mother I called his cell phone hoping it was a joke and he would answer but instead I got his voicemail. He made an impact on a lot of people’s lives and this world is different without him”, shared Young’s best friend Devin Vargas via VVNG. 

Anyone with information about the collision is requested to contact Deputy Stone at 760-241-2911.
