Born February 3, 1931, in Kingston and later establishing his life in Toledo, Edward was a proud American citizen of Chinese descent, and he embodied the values of hard work and loyalty throughout his life.

Edward earned his Doctorate in Medicine from the University of London Medical School West Indies and practiced medicine in Frankfield, Jamaica before immigrating to the United States in 1974. After completing his US family practice residency at Riverside Hospital in Toledo, Ohio he then went into family practice finally retiring in 2005 at the age of 75. Edward devoted his career to improving the health and well-being of his patients. His ethical approach, compassionate care, and dedication to excellence made a lasting impact on those he served. He lived a life that exemplified the importance of both professional commitment and family values, always prioritizing the needs of others above his own.

Surviving are his three children, Mark (Tina) Young, Suzette Young, and Bradford (Shawn O Sullivan) Young, grandchildren, Ronald, John, Michael and Karis Young, sisters, Norma Wong and Geraldine Young (Jun Lau), and many nieces and nephews. Edward's deep love for his family was evident in all he did; he cherished every moment spent with them, instilling in them the same principles of hard work and ethical living that guided his own life.

A notable fan of Notre Dame Football and the Boston Red Sox, he will be fondly missed for his passion for sports and his ability to bring families together.
