Jason A. Young

PARMA HEIGHTS - Jason A. Young, age 42, lost his second battle with cancer on January 7, 2021. He was born in Akron, Ohio on October 13, 1978 to David and Cynthia Young.

Jason is survived by his parents; his sisters, Jennifer, his nephew, Alfonzo "Fonzie" Ramirez, Cynthia "Tess", Mary, and his brother, Jim; his niece, Mckayla, and numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins.

Jason worked as a deputy for the Summit County Sherriff's Department and then a corrections officer for the Cuyahoga County Sherriff's Department. Jason also worked for the Red Cross.

He was always kind to others and was a protector from birth to his little sisters, his friends, nature, and anyone who needed it. So, it was natural that every stage of his career included protecting others or helping them in some way. Jason was an avid gardener and canner. He loved learning about history and his ancestry.
