Rest in Justice: Jim Young, Founding PDD Member and Great Guy

Jim was one of the early Howard Dean Meetup-ers and helped us get PDD off the ground when the Dean campaign ended. He was a clear thinking, tough-minded liberal who always took on more than his fair share.

I got this notification from 9th RD Chair, Kevin Caneco.

It is with great sadness, I bring news tonight that Jim Young, lion of the 8th RD, has passed.

Jim was a long time member and leader within the Delaware Democratic Party, and more importantly, a loving Dad, neighbor, and community leader.

I remember meeting Jim when I first joined the RD and how welcoming he was to me and my family. He wanted to tell me all about the MOT community and to make sure I supported the local library! Jim was one of a kind, a quiet, competent, driven individual who had nothing to prove in a world where egos can seem to be everywhere. He cared about his community, his country, and his party. I will miss Jim, and I know you all will as well.

As more information comes out about his services, we will be sure to pass it on.
