Kevin E. Young was born in South Philly and raised in Southwest Philly. He was
the 6th child of 10 children born to the late Irvine E and Elizabeth L. Young. He
was educated in the Philadelphia School System where he attended John Bartram
High School.
Kevin was a family man yet private man. He worked throughout the City of
Philadelphia and Surrounding Suburbs in the field of building Maintenance. He
enjoyed his work and would often bring home many Perks his job had to offer.
Kevin enjoyed sports especially Football and Boxing. He would often indulge in
conversation with friends as to who was going to win what game and move on to
the Super Bowl or who would get knocked out in what round. Kevin enjoyed the
outdoors; he would stay downtown and reminisce about how the good old days
used to be in Center City. The friends he made in South and Southwest Philly and
the work they put in throughout his life. Kevin will be missed by his family and
friends.
Kevin leaves to cherish his memories four children: Kyiff Cooper, Kyheim Cooper,
Raheim Young and Charnae Cooper, several grandchildren, two brothers Darryl,
Michael (Block) and Estelle (Butter)Young, several Cousins, Nieces, Nephews and
friends.
Kevin, mom called you to her on Mother’s Day so tell her we all said Happy
Mother’s Day.
