February 22, 1963 �" November 19, 2009
Beloved partner Terry Lynn Young passed away quietly in his sleep in the morning hours of November 19, 2009. He is survived by his partner Greg Boyd, his mother Mary, his sister Donna, his brother John, his niece Taish, and many other nieces and nephews.
Terry was born February 22, 1963 in Warren, Arkansas. He lived most of his early life in Fresno, California, before relocating to the East Bay, and, finally, to San Francisco. He was an accomplished chef and children's storyteller, and was a member of the HIV Health Services Planning Council.
Terry delighted in meeting new people. His sensitivity and concern for others touched everyone he met. Because of his size and child-like spirit, children adored him, thinking he was one of their own. He enjoyed music, playing his guitar, and tending his garden, where he was especially known for his love of lavender.
An open house and celebration of Terry's life will be held at his home on Sunday December 6, from 12pm to 3pm, with remembrances at 2pm. Terry, may you dance naked in lavender fields forever.
