Appreciation to the Young Family
On Behalf of the Management and Staff of Arrington Funeral Home
The Management and Staff of Arrington Funeral Home extend our sincere appreciation to the Young Family for the trust you have placed in us during the passing of your beloved Mr. Aldozie Young, Sr.
It has been our distinct honor to serve a family whose patriarch lived a life marked by faithfulness, devotion, and quiet strength. From his early years in Wetumpka, Alabama, to making Birmingham his home at the age of 25, Mr. Young built a life grounded in hard work and commitment. His 40 years of dedicated service with Wilson Meat Packing Company reflect the kind of reliability and integrity that defined his character.
We celebrate the beautiful love story he shared with his beloved wife, Mary Portis Young. Their union on August 29, 1954, after a brief courtship, blossomed into a lifetime of devotion a testament to enduring love and partnership.
Mr. Young’s gift for working with his hands, his enjoyment of tinkering and fixing, and especially his love for cooking for his family, revealed a man who expressed care not only through words, but through action. His meals were more than food they were expressions of pride, affection, and deep family connection.
As you honor his memory, we pray that you find comfort in the legacy he leaves behind a legacy of commitment, craftsmanship, love, and unwavering devotion to family. Thank you for allowing us to walk beside you in celebrating his remarkable life.
May God grant you peace and strength in the days ahead.
With heartfelt sympathy and gratitude,
The Management and Staff
Arrington Funeral
