Terry Willis Young, of Pendleton, South Carolina, died of complications from ALS on December 12, 2023, after struggling with the condition for over a year. He was surrounded by his beloved family.

Terry was born in Anderson, South Carolina on November 27, 1955, to Larry Albert Young and Faye Strickland Young. He grew up in Honea Path, South Carolina and earned a Master's Degree in Industrial Education from Clemson University. He worked in a variety of roles, including as an instructor of "human error reduction," at Duke Energy, where he was an employee for 39 years. In 2003, he founded Anderson Area Pools, now known as Young Pools, a small business which he operated with the help of his sons. He loved playing racquetball at the YMCA, camping and hunting the Jocassee Gorge with his friends, and being surrounded by his family and grandchildren. Upon learning about his disease, he became passionate about sharing the faith he depended on with others, and he loved to welcome visitors into his home.

Terry is survived by his wife of 39 years, Fran Parker Young; three sons, Parker Willis Young (Rachel), Daniel Alan Young (Katelyn), and Carson Oates Young (Riley); brother Larry Alan Young (Mary Jane); and five grandchildren, Ruby, Wren, Walker, Bridges, and Sylvie.

A memorial service will be held at The McDougald Funeral Home in Anderson on Saturday, December 16, 2023, at 2:00 pm, with visitation following until 4:30 pm.
