July 22, 1945 - November 10, 2025

Thomas A. ''Tommy'' Young, 80, of Alexander, Arkansas entered his heavenly home on November 10, 2025. Born July 22, 1945, Tommy lived a life marked by faith, family and service.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Luther J. and Edna Young of Little Rock; his brothers, Jimmy L. Young of Little Rock and John Ed Young of Bryant and his sister, Tressie (Dub) Wells of Little Rock.

Tommy was a devoted Christian, a faithful deacon and a loving husband, father and grandfather. He is survived by his wife of 59 years, Frances A. Young of Alexander; his children, Roslyn (Rick) Davis of Springdale and Aaron (Jennifer) Young of Alexander and his three beloved grandchildren, Trey Davis of Bentonville, Madison (Kyle) Bradshaw of Malvern and Jordan Young of Alexander.

For more than 40 years, Tommy was a dedicated member of Indian Springs Baptist Church, where he served as a deacon and lived out his faith by helping others. He was always the first to lend a hand and the last to seek recognition. His love for his church was only matched by his love for his family. Married to his beautiful bride for nearly six decades, Tommy and Frances built a life of selflessness and devotion that touched everyone who knew them.

To his children, he was a steady presence and a source of strength. To his grandchildren, who lovingly called him ''Paw Paw'', he was a hero. Whether working on school projects, fixing cars or delivering lunch after a simple phone call, Paw Paw never hesitated to show up.

Tommy's life was full of hard work and adventure. He played football for Mabelvale High School, earning the nickname ''Lil' Red''. He worked on the family dairy farm, at a local gas station and even ''dragged University'' in his younger days. He proudly served as a Staff Sergeant in the Army Reserves and was part of the Airborne Green Berets.

A visitation will be held from 9:00 to 11:00 a.m. on Saturday, November 15th followed by a memorial service at 11:00 a.m. at Indian Springs Baptist Church in Bryant.

Honorary Pallbearers: Fellowship Class of ISBC, Bubba Hudson, Jerry Edmonson, Jordan Young, Trey Davis, Kyle Bradshaw, Todd Wells, Luther Wells, J.T. Young,, Scott Shearer, Michael Shearer
