He was a veteran of the United States Army serving during World War II, he was deployed in the South Pacific from 1943-1946 and was aboard a ship in Tokyo when the surrender was signed.

Harold enjoyed his work and continued to work up until Thanksgiving 2018 as a starter on the golf course at Fairvue Plantation in Gallatin, a place he loved and a game he loved.

In addition to his parents, Harold was preceded in death by his wife, Peggy Young; brother, Phil Young; and sister, Mary Jo Daily. He is survived by his sons, Richard Young (Tonia) and Martin Young (Cindi); grandchildren, Steven Young (Karina) and Emily Maxie (Jason); great-grandson, Landin Young; sister-in-law, Louise Shain; and several nieces and nephews.
