Mark coached at several highschools in Delaware, at the time of his death he was the Offensive Line coach at his Alma Mater, Dover HS.
Mark was a motivator, a huge personality and at 6'5" with the nickname “Monster” was the biggest teddy bear of a guy you could meet. Mark was kind, compassionate, and funny. His love for others shined through in every facet of his life. It didn’t matter where he went, he always knew a friend or two. Mark will be missed dearly by everyone who met him.
Mark is preceded in death by his father Gregory Young and brother David Craig.
Mark is survived by his mother Mary L Craig-Young, his wife Carolyn J Young, children Aiden, Brandon, Collin and Brooke-Lynn Young. His siblings John Craig (Jaazer), Bryant Craig (Ophelia), Step-Children Amanda Bentley (Michael) , Kurt Bentley (Katelyn), Tyler Bentley(Hailey), two grandchildren, and ten cherished Nieces and Nephews.
Mark had a strong faith in GOD and worked on his relationship with him daily. We draw comfort knowing he is home with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
