Michael Young

Michael J. Young, 64, of Mosinee, went to be with his Lord on Wednesday, February 3, 2016.
Mike was born April 3, 1951, in Wausau, WI, son of the late Stanley and Carolyn (Mayer) Young. He graduated from Wausau High School in 1969. He continued his education at the UW-Eau Claire where he received his BA in psychology and then completed his Masters in school psychology at UW-Stout.
Mike was married to Sandie Barth, and together they enjoyed 39 blissful years of marriage.
He pursued his passion for helping children by working as a school psychologist at DC Everest and Stevens Point Area School Districts until he retired in 2006.
Mike was a member of New Hope Community Church in Wausau where he served as a church elder and enjoyed working with the youth group. He particularly loved mentoring teens as they served others on mission trips. Spending time with family and friends while hunting and fishing, as well as taking family trips, were important to Mike.

Mike is survived by his wife, Sandie, and his two sons, Bryce and Brennan. Brennan lives with his wife, Christa, and daughter, Eleanor, in Eau Claire, WI. Bryce lives with his wife, Ruth, in San Diego, CA. Mike is also survived by his sister, Linda, who lives in Mahtomedi, MN.

Pastor Dan Jelsma will officiate a memorial service at 11:00 a.m. on Monday, February 8, at New Hope Community Church (E1045 South County Road J, Wausau, WI).
