Charlie was born August 31, 1929, in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
He was a member of the Roosevelt High School class of 1947. After 20 years of service, he retired from the United States Air Force as a Command Pilot with the rank of Major. He served a tour of duty in Korea and two tours of duty in Japan that included periods of service in Vietnam. He received many awards and decorations during his military service, the most notable being the Distinguished Flying Cross, Air Medal and USAF Commendation Medal. Charlie enjoyed a second career flying scheduled and charter flights for Britt Airways. After his second retirement, he volunteered as a driver for Scott Health and Faith in Action, in Bloomington. In 2012, he participated in the Central Illinois Honor Flight to Washington D.C. with his son, Greg as his guardian.
Charlie married Mary Ann Barlindhaug on May 12, 1955, in Minneapolis. She preceded him in death on November 13, 2020.
He is survived by one son, Gregory Allen (Joanne) Young; two daughters, Amy Young Davis and Carrie Ann (Brian) Hymer; five grandchildren, Emily Mary (Reed) Jaksich, Jordan Charles Young, Charlie Ray (Caitlin) Davis, Hannah Grace Davis and Claire Young Davis; three great-grandsons, Aiden Davis, Parker Jaksich and Mason Davis and two great-granddaughters, Cora Jaksich and Charlotte Davis and his sister-in-law, Beverly McGill.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Anton and Erna Young and one sister, Phyllis Hornberger.
In lieu of flowers, Charlie would like memorials to be made to The Wounded Warrior Project or the Community Cancer Center.
Charlie was a strong, vibrant person with a wonderful sense of humor who lived life to the fullest. He will be greatly missed.
