Daniel A. Young

May 16, 1938 — December 6, 2024

Rutland

With grief-filled hearts, it is with sadness that we announce the unexpected passing of our beloved brother Danny Young. Danny was born on May 16, 1938 the son of Raymond and Colletta (Bruten) Young of Rutland.

Danny was a proud member of the class on 1956 at Mount St. Joseph Academy.  He never missed a class get together with his old classmates and was usually the first one to arrive at their class reunions.

Post-graduation, Danny joined the military and served with distinction in the Army for three years and was stationed in Germany for about one year until his discharge in 1959.  On his return back to Rutland he started working for the Rutland Railroad for a short time before landing a job with Howard’s Fire Control.  And finally ending his working career, he was employed by the Rutland Herald until his retirement.  Danny then spent his summers mowing lawns with Mark LaFond, a hard-working young man that Danny treated like a son and was very fond of.  Danny also spent many a day during the summer months working on his “Tan”, as many of folk observed when driving past his house.

Danny was a man of “many” words, while tossing a few jokes too.  He loved to laugh as well as making others laugh also.  If you don’t believe that, just stop by the staff at Jones Donuts or the folks at Grand Union or Paisano’s Deli, they all know.

Danny was pre-deceased by his parents, and his longtime girlfriend, Carol LaFond who died on February 1, 2021.

Danny is survived by his two brothers, Wayne and Mickey Young, his sister Ann Marie Seeley and his half-sister, Mary Tucker.

In lieu of flowers per Danny’s wish donations may be made to the Mount St. Joseph Development Fund, 127 Convent Ave., Rutland, VT 05701.

A memorial service will be held at 11:00am followed by calling hours till 1:00pm on Thursday December 19, 2024 at Clifford Funeral Home. A reception will follow, from 2:00-4:00pm at the VFW on Wales St. in Rutland. A private burial will take place at a later date.
