Master Deontae James Deshawn Young, 3 year old son of Derrion Deshawn Young and Lindsay Anne Hardin, passed away Sunday, May 23, 2021.  He was born November 28, 2017 in Grenada and made this world a brighter place from the very beginning.  DJ was "all boy" and enjoyed being outdoors playing in the mud, football and swimming.  He also loved watching his favorite TV shows which include PJ Masks, Lightning McQueen and Scooby Doo.  When he wasn't playing or watching TV he was looking for a glass of milk – his favorite.  While there are many here who grieve, we find comfort in knowing he was welcomed into Heaven by our Lord Jesus and a host of family members who have gone before.

Funeral services will be held at 2:00 PM Sunday, May 30, 2021 at McKibben and Guinn Funeral Service with Rev. James McElroy officiating.  Interment will follow in the Holcomb Cemetery.  The family will receive friends one hour prior to the service Sunday at McKibben and Guinn.

In addition to his parents, grandparents and great grandparents, he is survived by his brother, Kade Thomas Hardin; aunts, Lainey Arrington, Lilly Arrington, Kaylin Hardin, Shyann Lloyd, Briana Young and Shaquish Gipson; uncles, Mason Hardin, Keith Thomas Lloyd, D'Ivion Young and Javaughn Powell and a host of great aunts and great-uncles.

He is preceded in death by his great-grandparents, Deborah Hardin, Shirley Deloris Jones Powell and James & Margaret Latham; great-great-grandparents, Frances Hill, Florence Ratliff and Lou Latham; and grandfather, Brent Hood.

Pallbearers will be Declan Kunefke, Keith Thomas Lloyd, Antonio Wilks, Tyler Wilson and D'Ivion Young.
