Obituary - Christopher Young

Christopher William Young, 35, of Belton, MO passed away on Friday, February 18th, 2022. His loss was completely unexpected, and the family is shocked and deeply saddened. Christopher was born on September 22, 1986, to Anjanette K. Young-Williams and Chris Beerbower in Kansas City, MO. Christopher attended Belton schools growing up. 

As a child he was always tinkering with things and taking them apart to see how they worked, playing in the creek and fishing with whatever he could use as bait, He also loved hunting. He often found himself struggling with life but was always willing to help his family and friends. His desires were to always do better and found himself lucky in many situations along the way. One of his favorite ways to get away from it all was fishing at the river with his Uncle Dennis,Uncle Jesse and Cousin Greg.

Anyone who knew Christopher, knew that his strong will and sense of humor were never far from reach. He most recently, worked on his growing relationship with his daughter Shaylee, who has a love for animals and such a giant heart. Christopher’s family and friends will miss him more than words can say. Christopher was preceded in death by his grandfather, Dennis C. Arndt, brother, Matthew Stipancich, and cousin, Timothy Young along with his Great Grandparents.
