S. Navy, serving two years before joining the U. S. Army where he served during the Vietnam War.  He retired as a Master Sergeant after 21 years of honorable service.  Retirement from the military brought Brad back home to Quinlan where he later worked for nine years as a truck driver for ECOLAB.  On December 23, 1991, he married the former Miss Thelma Louise Reagan in Durant, Oklahoma.  Brad and Louise made their home in Quinlan where he was self-employed in many different adventures from dirt hauling to property ownership.  He will also be remembered as a very giving person and asking for nothing in return.  Brad is preceded in death by his parents, sister Betty Jean Baker, brothers Sammy Young, Noble (Bud) Young, and Charles (Cooter) Young.

He is loved and will be missed by his wife Louise; step-daughter Sherry Chennault and husband Jimmy of Commerce; step-son Jacky Goleman and wife Kathy of Quinlan; four step-grandchildren and six step-great-grandchildren; sister Mary Ann Jonker of Dallas; brothers Joe Young and wife Phyllis of Dallas and Frank “Penny” Young of Greenville.
