Charles Monroe Young

January 14, 2026

Charles Monroe (Monty/Shake) Young, 58, of Molino, FL, left us too soon on January 1, 2026, peacefully at home with his wife. Monty was born on Mar 24, 1967, in Athens, Ohio to Deanna Sue Young, but raised by his grandparents, Helen and Charles Young, with his 3 aunts, Sharon, Linda and Carol Young. He went to high school in Athens, Ohio and took the mechanic class at Tri-County Vocational School. He established a trucking business with his family in 1999, CVC Young & Son Transport, but currently was employed by Escambia County Board of County Commissioners.

Monty is preceded in death by his grandparents, Charles and Helen Young; his birth mother, Deanna Sue Young; aunt, Linda Schlaghter; cousin, Kindalyn; and his brother, Jamie Ohler.

Monty is survived by his wife Valerie Stotts Young; son, Jamie (Nikki) Young; daughters, Lindsey Young, Ashley (Max) Clark, and Daphne (John) Rogers; grandchildren, Jaden, Jonsey, Tres, Haiven, Charlie and Little Max; aunts, Sharon Young of Virginia, Carol (Pat) Smith of Pickerington Ohio; sister, Helaina (Tony) Young Rittenhouse of Parkersburg WV; and several cousins, nieces, and nephews including Katie, Leann, Kaison among others, including other children who were always welcome into the family.

Monty’s passion was demolition derbies in his younger years then dirt track racing where he won lots of end-of-the-year championships. He loved his friends; he never met a stranger. He was so funny, he spoke fluent insults “LOL” but his biggest accomplishment was his family. He is referred to as a legend in Ohio. May his legacy live on through his children, who loved him very much.

A celebration of life was held Tuesday, January, 13, at Faith Chapel Funeral Home and Crematory North.
