The following is an obituary from Stemm-Lawson-Peterson Funeral Home and Cremation Center.
Tony Neil Young, 54, of Union, Michigan, passed away on Saturday, August 8, 2026. He was born on February 12, 1972, in Franklin, Indiana, to David and Brenda Young. On April 6, 2018, Tony married Annie Morgan in Aruba.
Tony was an exceptionally devoted husband, father, and friend. Known for his incredible storytelling, he was extremely generous and lit up any room he was in with his energy, warmth, and contagious laugh. Tony graduated from Elkhart Memorial High School and attended Indiana State University. He began his career at the family business, Arab Pest Control, and later was the owner of YES Pest Pros. Ultimately, Tony transitioned into the RV industry, becoming the General Manager for Forest River’s East to West motorized division. He loved spending time outdoors, whether golfing, boating, fishing or working out with his son, Tommy. Tony was a lifelong IU fan — ‘Go Hoosiers!’ But, above all, he cherished time with his family and friends.
Tony is survived by his wife, Annie: their children, Hanna, Lucy, Madi and Thomas: his parents, David & Brenda; his brother, Justin; as well as his nieces, nephews, aunts, cousins, and many friends. He will be dearly missed.
