Wesley Young

Wesley K. "Wes" Young, 60, passed away at his home on December 5, 2019, after a brave, hard fought battle with cancer. He was born on December 1, 1959 in Alamogordo, New Mexico, son of the late Henry and Emmi Rosa (Jahn) Young. Also preceding him in death was a sister, Linda Bickell and brother in law, Frank Dupont. Wes served in the United States Army and was currently working at Century Aluminum for more than 15 years, until illness forced him to take a leave of absence. He looked forward to returning. Wes had previously been an on-air DJ for WKCM Radio and had worked for the Hoosier Lottery and A & G Motors. Family and friends may say that Wes's other job was entertaining, and he was good at it. He loved to grill and cook at the "CB&G" (Corner Bar and Grill), his garage on the corner of the block. When the door was open, the neighborhood was invited. Wes loved music, particularly Elvis and Garth Brooks. He owned and operated Superstar Music, a DJ service for parties and weddings. He passed his passion for music down to his kids, often attending concerts together. Wes was a member of the Moose Lodge 1424 and enjoyed road trips and his vacations to the beach in Florida.
