BEVERLY - Mr. Alan G. Young, Sr., 77, of Beverly passed away on Friday, December 20th, 2024 at the Kaplan Family Hospice House in Danvers surrounded by his loving family.

Alan was the son of the late Edward Barnard and Mary (Balog) Young. Born to a military family in Beverly, he was raised and educated in many different places, including Washington, Mississippi, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Puerto Rico and Florida.

An honorably discharged veteran, Alan proudly served his country as a member of the United States Army, volunteering for duty in Vietnam during the war.

When he returned, Alan began a successful career as an auto-body mechanic honing his skills over the years and eventually opening his own shop. He retired to care for his aging parents.

Alan became a loving father, grandfather, brother, uncle and friend and he was happiest when surrounded by family, involved in their varied activities and celebrating their many milestones. He was a man with a big body and a heart to match, who was sarcastic, with a wry sense of humor. His greatest joy was making others smile and laugh. Alan enjoyed fishing, loved a good treasure hunt with his metal detector and was an avid collector of sports memorabilia. He will be fondly remembered for his love of family, his quick smile and above all his enjoyment of every sandwich.

Alan is survived by his son, Alan G. Young Jr. and his wife, Lisa, his grandchildren, Alan G. Young III and Adeline all of Underhill, VT, his siblings, Greg Young and his wife, Elizabeth Anne of Bradford, Barry Young of Groveland, Barbara Collupy and husband, Clayton of Wake Forest, NC, his niece, Katherine Young of Georgetown and nephews, Paul Young of Bradford, Glenn Collupy of Wake Forest, Thomas Collupy of Las Vegas, NV and Gary Collupy of Wakefield.

ARRANGEMENTS: Relatives and friends are invited to his visiting hours which will be held at O'Donnell Cremations – Funerals – Celebrations, 167 Maple St., (Rte. 62) DANVERS on Friday, December 27th, 2024 from 4 to 6 PM.
