Memorial Sheldon Young Boating Victim

Provided by Donna Escort-Horne’s (Sheldonnia) EVERYONE WANTS CLOSURE BUT NO ONE WANTS WHAT COMES WITH CLOSURE. ON THE MYAKKA RIVER IN NORTH PORT,FL DECEMBER 27TH MY DAD SHELDON YOUNG AND MY SON AND HIS FRIEND WENT ON A NORMAL WEEKLY ADVENTURE OF CRABBING . THEY WERE HEADING BACK TO THE DOCK AFTER COLLECTING CRABS AND SETTING TRAPS BACK WHEN THE WAVES CAUSED WATER TO COME IN THE BOAT AND THE BOAT CAPSIZED.  THEY ALL EMERGED INTO THE WATER, THE BOYS MADE IT OUT BUT UNFORTUNATELY MY DAD  DIDN’T.   HE CAME HERE TO BE WITH ME AND MY FAMILY.  MY HEART IS ACHING SO BAD NO MATTER WHAT HE WAS GOING THROUGH HE ALWAYS HAD A SMILE ON HIS FACE . HE WAS WORKING AT PGT AND HE LOVED IT BUT HAD ONLY BEEN THERE TWO & A HALF MONTHS.   HE LOVED HIS JOB . HE WAS CARING AND LOVING AND ALWAYS TOLD HIS FAMILY HE LOVED THEM EVERYDAY.  HE WAS A FEW WEEKS FROM HIS INSURANCE KICKING IN FROM PGT SO IM ASKING IF GOD PUT IT IN YOUR HEART TO DONATE TO HIS END OF LIFE SERVICES OUR ENTIRE FAMILY WILL BE GRATEFUL FOR ANYTHING YOU ARE ABLE TO DO!
