Richard J. "Dick" Young, 68, of Kansas City, MO, passed away on April 5, 2021 after a short illness.

Dick was born on June 16, 1952 in Kansas City, MO, to Harry L. and Virginia M (Gaines) Young. He attended Bishop OHara High School, graduating in 1970. Dick married Susan Burkhart, the love of his life and high school sweetheart, on November 3, 1978. They joyously welcomed their only daughter, Sarah, a few years later.
Dick was a third-generation owner of Cy Young Hardware with his brother Jay, which was located at the corner of 83rd and Wornall. After his career ended with his family business, he went to work for The Overhead Door Company. Dick was a Fourth Degree member of the Knights of Columbus. As a member of Council 527, he spent many years helping with the Annual Fish Fry at Christ the King Catholic Church.
Dick lived life to the fullest and always brought joy to those lucky enough to know him. He enjoyed taking pictures of their many travel and cruise adventures with Sue and friends. He loved reading a good book and going bowling. Dick and Sue were diehard Parrotheads, traveling to many Jimmy Buffett concerts together. He enjoyed smoking up the best BBQ. He was always there for his siblings, either to lend a hand or give a good laugh. But the joy of his life was spending time with his two precious grandchildren. He was so proud of Liams love of nature and reading. Amelia was his fellow "June Baby" and had her Papa wrapped around her finger.
He was preceded in death by his parents. Dick is survived by his wife Susan; daughter Sarah Gripe (Brian); grandchildren Liam and Amelia Gripe; sisters, Connie Anderson, and Peggy Davidson; brothers, Harry Young, Jr., Tom Young, Jay Young, Tim Young. He is also survived by many nieces and nephews as well as his dear friends.
