Jan. 27, 1946 -- July 10, 2010
Longtime Vallejo fireman William Anthony Young passed away at his Napa
home on July 10, 2010 following a lengthy battle with esophageal cancer.
The son of John and Ann Young, who were instrumental in the development of
the community of American Canyon, William was born in Vallejo on Jan. 27,
1946.
Following graduation from Napa High School in 1964, he joined the U.S. Air
Force before he began his 31-year career as a fireman. Working briefly for the
Mare Island and American Canyon fire departments, he went on to serve for 27
years with the Vallejo Fire Department before retiring with the rank of captain
in 2002.
In retirement, he supported his family in their business, Gigi's Cupcakes, found
time to devote to his Chevelle which he purchased new in 1969, became a
staunch member of both the Bud Light and Mediocre groups, pursued the game
of golf as time permitted, spent time with his beloved canine friends Gigi and
Lotti, and found a great deal of fulfillment in simply watching the world go by.
Survivors include his beloved wife, Laura; children, Brandon Young (Brooke) of
Hobbs, N.M., Shaina Cook (Dennis) of American Canyon, Carissa Talmadge
(Matthew) of Benicia, Amanda Irby (Cedric) of Savoy, Ill.; a sister, Jacqueline

Vincente, McKenna, Mackenzie, Madison, Abagail and Zoe. He was preceded in
