August 7, 1984 – May 2, 2023
On Tuesday, May 2, 2023, our beloved son, father, brother and uncle, Tyrell “Rell” DeJuan Young, age 38, of Richmond, VA, transitioned from Earth to his Heavenly Home at VCU/MCV Medical Center, Richmond, VA. He was born on August 7, 1984 to Faye Antonette Young and Bobby Lee Allen.
Tyrell was educated in the Prince George and Petersburg Public School Systems and was a graduate of Petersburg High School. He was a die-hard Philadelphia Eagles fan and enjoyed watching them play whenever a game was on. He will be remembered as fun-loving and the life of the party which made all our family gatherings special. Tyrell was always ready with a joke and enjoyed his family and friends. We will miss him dearly.
Tyrell was preceded in death by his father Bobby L. Allen; Maternal Grandparents Gurley Young and Cora Smith Young; and Aunt LaJuan Baines.

Young; his beloved girlfriend, Kenya Thomas; daughter, Nadya Thomas; son, Javion Ross; sisters, Sherry Young (Jonathan) and Sherita Young (Antonio); nieces, Ariana Young, Trinity Young and Wynter Young-Hill; uncles, Gregory, Keith and Edward Young; great aunts, Sarah Claiborne and Donna Davis; great uncle, George Young; devoted friends, Nick Gee and Keith Wooden; and a host of aunts, uncles, cousins, other relatives and friends too numerous to name.
