Allen Young, whose given name was Augustus Allen Young, Jr., was called by his childhood friends, siblings and parents as “Buddy,” by his wife as “Honey,” by his children as “Daddy,” by his grandchildren as “Grandpa,“ was called by his Lord to his heavenly home on Wednesday, January 25, 2016 at the age of 84. Born to the late Augustus Allen Young, Sr. & Lovey Jane Smith on July 15, 1932 in Wichita Falls, Texas, Allen was the youngest of six children and two half-sisters. He graduated Wichita Falls High School and at the age of 19, married the love of his life, Joanne Fernety in Jacksonville, Florida on July 24, 1952 and together, they had six children. Allen served in the Naval Reserves and was in sales and a sales manager for Whites and Popular Furniture, retiring after many years with Huff Furniture Galleries. His hobby and career after retirement was as “The Clock Doc.” He loved dogs, fishing, crossword puzzles, telling stories and visiting his “big sister and second mom”, Lucille.
Allen was best known as a loyal husband, a loyal son and brother. He was strong in his faith, a strong provider and strong in his love for his family.
