Roy Lee Young

Roy Lee Young, 90, of French Lick, Indiana, entered into eternal rest on March 23rd, 2026.

He was born in West Baden Springs, Indiana on March 5th, 1936 to Joseph Riley and Ardella (Pierce) Young.

He was preceded in death by his parents and sister – Margie Sullivan.

Roy was a truck driver most of his life with his last job working as a mechanic at the Sheraton Hotel.

He enjoyed many years with the Saddle Club, motorcycle riding and long road trips with Dolores when making over the road runs. He had many assorted family pets over the years, where many of them were “donated” at the foot of Mt. Aire drive. Anyone could find love in their home.

Later in life, he and Dolores enjoyed a pretty day on the porch, planting a garden and reaping its harvest, tending chickens, and tinkering and fixing just about anything. Roy and Dolores loved their family and friends, but especially their grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
