He was born in Billings, Sept. 13, 1926, the son of Henry and Olive (Smith) Young. After graduating from Billings Senior High School, he married Joan P. Mossett in Billings on Dec. 17, 1949.

He held the rank of Lieutenant at the time of his discharge in 1962.

Donald worked for JC Penney in Billings, Williston, N.D., and Hettinger, N.D., before he and Joan purchased their own retail business in Libby in 1971. In 1984, he and his wife moved back to Billings and he held various jobs until he retired.

Donald is survived by his three children: Lory Jennings and her husband Michael and Bruce Young of Billings, and Bradley Young and his wife Betty of Libby. He had three grandchildren.

Rest in Peace, Dad.
