George Young, born on 1947-01-01, passed away peacefully on 2017-10-23 at the age of 70. He is survived by two children and four grandchildren. Initially born in Boston, Massachusetts, George moved to Las Vegas, Nevada in 1967, where he worked in a casino and met his wife, Lorraine. In 1976 George and Lorraine welcomed their children, Traci and Jeremiah. An avid reader and traveler, George was an adventurous spirit who enjoyed exploring far-off corners of the world, as well as more everyday ventures such as chess and spending time with his family. George was devoted to the restoration of his 1964 customized Mustang and would spend his weekends tinkering with the vehicle. George was a kind and generous man who will be dearly missed by his family and all who knew him.
