Boyd Young, age 87, of Bluebell, passed away Sunday, May 14, 2017, at the Uintah Basin Medical Center.
He was born April 2, 1930 in Fort Duchesne to Joseph Nelson and Lillian Van Young. He served in the US Army during the end of the Korean War. He married Barbara Ellen Anderson on January 8, 1954, and she died January 24, 2010.
Boyd left school just after the fourth grade so that he could go to work to help his family. He worked in the oilfield until 1984 when he retired and quit smoking.

He was a member of the Duchesne County Cattlemen’s Association and was the recipient of the “Old Timers Award.” He loved his family – including extended family!– and had a story about each one. He was straight forward and always told it like it was.
