Aleksander Richard Young – Passed away on Friday, April 18, 2025, at the age of 39. Loving son of Leonard and Velta Young. Cherished brother of Christopher (Amber) Young and Emily (Andrew) Bauer. Proud grandson of Richard and Marilyn Young. Preceded in death by grandparents Velta and Richard Slegelis. He will be truly missed by other family and friends.
Though his body was weakened by many brain tumors and complications, Aleks fought and lived many more years than expected. He possessed inner strength and was an example of remarkable resilience. He held a variety of part-time jobs; working at Nagawaukee Golf Course was his favorite. He enjoyed playing golf, Madden video games, pool, and cards, watching Packer games and just spending time with friends and family.
A special thank you to the staff at Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin and Froedtert Memorial Lutheran Hospital for their compassionate care of Aleks since he was two years old.
Gathering will be held at Wisconsin Memorial Park, Chapel of the Chimes, 13235 West Capitol Drive, Brookfield, Wisconsin, on Saturday, May 3, 2025, from 1:00 PM – 3:00 PM. Celebration of Life at 3:00 PM.
