The family had a private time of fellowship and remembrance from 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm Wednesday, April 8, 2020, at Lake Ridge Chapel and Memorial Designers. A service is planned for a future date when the restrictions are lifted at Lake Ridge Chapel.Bob Wayne Young grew up in a large ranching family from Canadian Texas, and family was what he loved most. After marrying his wife of 50 years, Valerie Chandler Young, he attended West Texas State University. Bob graduated with a Master’s in History. After graduating, he moved his budding family to Lubbock, Texas, where he built a successful family business: repairing cars. His company, Hub City Body Works, became a lifelong application of his blood, sweat, tears, and unwavering, rock-solid faith. He pursued lifelong hobbies of collecting cars, with several nationally recognized acquisitions, loved to fish and hunt (not always well), steadfast traditions of breakfasts and home-cooked meals with his Kids, and a love for the Lord and His Word. Bob always loved his family, was a best friend, comfortable companion, the true love of his wife, her forever husband, and never made anyone he ever met feel small. His heart engulfed us all in its arms and sought to provide what he could, no matter if it was the last of what he had, a kind word, or simply a hug and handshake. He is loved by all that ever had a word from him and any that knew him in the brief time he was with us.Survivors include his wife, Valerie Young; daughter, Mercedees Young, and husband, Marc Lambright; four grandchildren, Hunter Bob Young, Chevy Thomas Lee Cawlfield, and wife, Meagan; Derek Houston Lambright and wife, Bianca; and Maegan K. Lambright; two great-grandchildren, Zane Wyatt Lambright, Bella May Lambright; two sisters, Dora Ann Baker, and husband, Morgan; and Nancy Richardson; three brothers, Lee Young, and wife, Genise; Jim Young and wife, Nancy; David Young and wife, Patricia; and sister-in-law, Fern Young.He was preceded in death by his parents, Henry Frye and Hazel Larue Young; brother, Frank Young.

What an amazing life Bob Young had. You and your family are in our thoughts & prayers. May God give you strength, comfort & peace in the days ahead!!!!

You were a great cousin, friend. I remember how much fun we had. You took Carmal Ann and I to our first day of School, Canadian high. You had a cool car, yellow/black Roadrunner. Our family had just moved to Canadian, our family stayed with you and Aunt LaRue until we found a house. We came from CA. so yes, Texas was culture shock, but you made my sister and I feel more at ease, just being so much fun and nice to us. I remember when you met Valerie, you were so in love! I have been praying for her and Angel. But, as life does sometimes,only our family grapevine kept me posted now and then. I will see you again at the Marriage Supper of the Lamb! My tears are warm, goodbyes are never easy, but hope we have and keep till then. Thank you Lord for giving us Bob to love and know.

Special prayers for you and your family Val. Just so sorry for your loss! I will be praying that God will provide your every need in the days ahead and guide you in the path that you need to go while dealing with all of this trial and tribulation! Just know that we all care and love you and your family. Praying God’s richest blessings on you and yours.

I cannot express enough how much respect I had for Bob. He always had a smile on his face. He used to come to my parents restaurant, Country Plate Diner, two to three times a week and as often as I could I would sit and visit with him. We would talk about football and Texas Tech. I would rub him about the Longhorns and every year we would talk trash to each other before the game, then I would eat crow because Tech usually lost, but he was always gracious. After I graduated from Tech and moved off I didn’t see Bob very often, but when I did it was always as if we had just never stopped visiting. Bob always loved my parents and would ask about them every time I did see him. The last time I saw him was in the fall, and it had been years, he and his sweet wife were sitting near us at Abuelos. Before I knew it Bob had paid for my family’s dinner. Though I didn’t see him often anymore I will miss Bob, but I know for sure that he is rejoicing with his Lord and savior Jesus Christ today. I will miss you Bob. To his family, our prayers are with you during this time of loss.

Valerie my heart breaks for you at this time of your lost of our dear sweet Bob!!! He was so awesome kind and thoughtful and loving to everyone.we will miss him so very much!!! every time I would see him or talk to him he would ask me if I had baked a Peach cobbler, he loved my peach cobblers.. There are so many wonderful memories of him and all the GREAT time's we all sheared together watching him grow from that little boy into his teens and then into the awesome husband ,father and grandfather he became!! He has been such a blessing to all of us!!!Love you Bob and we will see you in Heaven.Love David & Pat

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

My heart is truly broken. I miss the days at the shop working next to Bob. Me, at my fancy desk, and Bob at his card table. He was always supportive, and could easily calm me down when I needed it. We had daily conversations, both professional and witty. (mostly witty) . I always received texts, or phone calls on holidays , and during bad weather. the most thoughtful, and generous person I have ever known. So proud to be able to say Bob was my good friend.I do not have words. Our love, thoughts and prayers are with Angel, Val ,and the family.

Valerie, Angel and Family,Bob was as good of a friend as a person could have and I am honored that he considered me a friend. We were all blessed to have had him as a husband, dad, granddad and friend. I know you will miss him dearly as will I, but be grateful for the privilege of having him in our lives. I would like to quote from one of my favorite books that I think describes the man Bob was. "We trust infinite God rather than our finite selves. We are in the world to play the role He assigns. Just to the extent that we do as we think He would have us, and humbly rely on Him, does He enable us to match calamity with serenity. We never apologize to anyone for depending on our Creator. We can laugh at those who think spirituality the way of weakness. Paradoxically, it is the way of strength. The verdict of the ages is that faith means courage. All men of faith have courage. They trust their God. We never apologize for God. Instead we let Him demonstrate, through us, what He can do."Bob demonstrated what God can do and now he is reaping the rewards. May the Peace that comes from God be a comfort to you all.

Sweet Angel, my deepest condolences! Your Dad leaves a fantastic legacy of Love and Kindness through all the ones he loved! The memory video is such a treasure to share! God Bless you and your family! Please know I’m here for you! Love you!

Bob was always kind and generous, and he remebered details from past conversations and asked about those small things even years later. I will forever be thankful that I got to know him. He will be missed.

Dearest Valerie my prayers for you and your family. So very sorry for your loss.

Bob was a very loving man and we were blessed to know him . He will be deeply missed! Much love to you all- The Satterfield Family, Bruce, Kristi, Abby and Emmy

Bob was such a wonderful man . What a wonderful life he had with you,Valerie. I’m saddened by him being gone but I am also happy to know he is shining down on all of us in Heaven. We love you you Bob. Much love and prayers ,Your friends,Mark and Romola Barinque

Our deepest sympathy to Val, Angel,Mark,Hunter, Chevy ,Meagan and all of the family! We Love y’all and we are gonna miss Bob! He was the happiest kindest man and we are so glad to have known him! May God wrap his loving arms around you and comfort you!

Dearest Valerie, Angel, Hunter and Chevy,What do you say to the wife, daughter, and grandsons of the man who has been your best friend on this earth for 58 years? Quite frankly, I don't know where to start. I have been replaying so many memories in my mind over the last 2 days from the time we first met during the summer between my 4th and 5th grade years to the last time we got to be with the two of you in June 2019. It seemed like Bob got especially text happy in the last month and we would laugh and text back and forth more in the last month or so more then we did for the last 6 months. I have had a couple of the toughest days I have had in a really long time. I find myself thinking the same thoughts I did when I lost my mom in an auto accident back in 1970; this has got to be the worst nightmare I have ever had. I had only been around my mom for almost 17 years at that time, but more than 3 times that long with Bob. We had talked about the things we wanted to do together when I retired. On his last birthday, I texted him that hopefully in the near future we could celebrate his future birthdays together. When Margo and I were having dinner last night, I was shedding some tears thinking about my friend and we were listening to a CD by a Christian singing group. They sang the song, WE ARE STANDING ON HOLY GROUND and then WHEN WE ALL GET TO HEAVEN. I couldn't hold back more tears as I imagined Bob standing with his mom worshipping Jesus in person, face to face. I so enjoyed the presentation of tribute you had for my friend. I can almost see him smile at all the attention he is getting at this time, because he never was one to seek the attention of others. Just know my friend that I LOVE YOU and look forward to the reunion we will have in the blink of an eye. I look forward to seeing you soon. Your friend forever,Barry Tims

Bob was always a pleasure to be around. I have some very fond memories of him. Val , we are thinking of you and praying for comfort for you and the family.

Amen

Bob was such a kind and caring man and always friendly to everyone. Val we are so heartbroken for your loss and we love you and are praying for you and your family during this difficult time.

Uncle Bob always took the time to pay attention to all of his many nephews and nieces. He talked to me in a way that made me feel like he cared about what I thought. He was always a lot of fun and I will miss him. I bet him and my Dad are setting down to eat a prime ribeye right now.

Honor, Respect and Love for Bob Young. Precious memories of the times we were together. He was so kind and made sure everything was perfect for everyone! Totally agree, "He was a great example of Christ love." We celebrate your life!Our precious Valerie, Angel, and all the family, we wish so much we could be with you today. Our thoughts, love and prayers are with you.

Dearest Valerie, Angel, Hunter, and Chevy, on behalf of the Bennett family , we want to offer our sincere condolences . Bob was a great friend to all he came in contact with and a wonderful neighbor. We will all miss him so much. He was always smiling and waving as he passed by our house. It was such a pleasure to know him .

Our prayers and thoughts are with you all ??Love , Gary , Candie , Brandon , Bryan , Emily, Bryce , and Brittney ❤️❤️❤️

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

Angel and family - we are so very sorry for your loss. We are praying for you during this difficult time. -Cody and Amy Coalson

Val and all the family, Linda and I am so sorry. Love and prayers for peace and comfort . Bob was always a jolly soul and fun to be around. We never get to spend enough time together. Love y’all bunches.

I remember your laugh. It was such a good one! You’ll be missed! Lots of prayers for all his family! Love you all!

I love the picture memories that capture his amazing love for his family. Uncle Bob left an impression on my heart that I will treasure forever ♥️. I can almost hear his laugh in many of the pictures ☺️♥️. My Uncle Bob taught me to give whole heartedly. His motto was always go big! He dreamed big, he loved big, and he always made me feel like a million bucks! What an amazing man. His generosity didn’t match his love for his family. I watched his indescribable love for my aunt first handed. He truly showed an example of how we should live and love our family. He adored each and every one of us, he prayed for us, and he genuinely wanted to inspire greatness. He was successful ❤️. He was a great example of Christ love. I will miss you forever and always. Until we meet again ???. I know heaven is celebrating you today ♥️.

I love you Uncle Bob and even though I didn't see you often I will miss you so much. It all just ended too soon.

I remember when I was dating Frank, Bob (who was only about 3) smeared toothpaste all over my sweater! But he was so cute I couldn't get mad at him! I always enjoyed Bob's sense of humor and how happy he always was. I'm looking forward to seeing him in heaven.

My sweet Valerie and family, Lynn and I wish we could be there with you today to wrap our arms around all of you to pray for peace and comfort. Bob was always smiling when I would run into him at the store or wherever it might be. I pray you have some comfort knowing he is with Jesus and will be waiting for his precious Val and family with arms wide open with that same smile. He had a heart as big as Texas and we are going to miss him.May God be with you and your family,We love you,Lynn & Janet♥️

Please let us know how we can help If we can. We would love to help with anything we can.Gordon & niece Jen Buena Vista, Colorado

Forever in our hearts ?. Many memories and hearts touched! A truly great man!

Bob, I will never forget your generosity to me while I lived there in Lubbock. I will always remember hanging out and helping around Hub City, and you showing the car collection to me. Hunter and I always enjoyed hanging out over there at your house. You will truly be missed, and I will be praying for your family. God Bless

A great video of Bob's life. Bob was a friend through high school. Prayers for his family at this time

Bob was such a good and kind man! Val and family: I am so sorry! I am sending much love and many prayers for all of you! I am praying that God will wrap you in his loving arms and give you peace and comfort. I’m so sorry we can’t all be together to show our love and support to all of you! God Bless you all!

Bob was a loving, caring, giving man. Always had a bright wonderful smile on his face that seemed to light up the room. I enjoyed having him in our home and the wonderful time we had visiting and fishing together. He loved being outdoors and making an adventure out of those experiences. Loved his family. I pray God will give Val and family peace and comfort. Love you all.

Bob we still can't comprehend you being gone (absent from this world but present with the Lord) The first time I saw you -before your brother, Lee and I were married- you were 3 years old and just as full of life and spunk and energy as ever. Such a cute little boy?You had all your siblings wrapped around your finger. You were all the things that are being said about you and more. A few years later our children were driving you crazy on the school bus and wanting a ride in your Jeep. They are grown now with children of their own and still crazy about Uncle Bob. We love you and will miss you immensely- Until that day ?? Love you Bobby---- Genise and brother Lee-

Valerie and Family,We are thinking of you today and wishing we could be there to grieve with you. Bob lived a great life with his true love by his side. You two are a good team. We are praying for you and someday when we all get to heaven can’t wait to be invited over for tea. May the Lord bless you and keep you,May His glorious face shine upon youMay His eternal peace abide in you. Love, Alex and Shellie

My heart breaks for you all and for our entire family. Bob was truly one of a kind and absolutely precious. You're all in my heart and prayers . I wish I could be there to hug you. Love y'all so much.

The video photograph collection brought back so many memories. Bob was my friend and will be missed.

Val we will miss Bob. He was such a joy to be around and so loving and truly concerned about what was going on with my family. I will miss the lunches and the long talks about you and Angel, the kids and business. He loved the Wild Game Dinner every year and trying win the big prize of $10,000. His love for God and family set an example for everyone that came in contact with him. I pray for you and the family that you find peace and grace from God. Love Jim

I’m so sorry I can’t be there. My hearts broken and I will miss him dearly. I’ll miss his laughter. I’ll miss him. Love to you all.

Bob always had a smile every time I saw him. What a wonderful man and he will be misssed every day. I pray that God will bring comfort and strength to Val and all the family during this most difficult time and for all the days to come.

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

Val and family, I truly enjoyed seeing this video. It brings back such wonderful memories of our lives together. I said this at my dads funeral. We will all be together again in a blink. Until then I love you guys and my thoughts and prayers are with you.

My heart is truly sad. Bob was a great friend and a man that would always give solid advise. I will miss him greatly! Mostly I will miss our lunches together and just the time we spend talking. He was a truly special man to me and taught me a lot.

What a wonderful man, and a life well lived!My thoughts and prayers are with Valerie and the family at this time. May the comfort and peace of our Lord Jesus Christ be yours.

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
