In Loving Memory

In Memory of Danny Young

1977-2024

This year has been a tough one for us. We had to say goodbye to Danny
Young, one of our biggest supporters and my best friend. I have never
considered myself a particularly lucky man, but I was incredibly lucky
and blessed to have Danny as a lifelong friend; whenever he was around
you never had a bad day. Danny was funny, charismatic and endeared
himself to everyone he met. He left a big hole in our lives, and I still
think about him every day, and wish I could talk to him again.

I’m reminded of a scene in Lonesome Dove (one of my favorite movies) where the two retired Texas Rangers,
Augustus McRae and Woodrow Call, chase the horse thieves and lose Deets. Woodrow carves “Cheerful in all
weathers” on his headstone. This describes Danny perfectly. As many of you know, Danny had a long and dif-
ficult eight-year battle with cancer, but what is amazing and inspiring about him is that he always had the best
attitude and a big smile. I have wondered if his knowledge that he wasn’t promised tomorrow made him focus
on the positive and live every day to the fullest.

Danny was always there to lend a hand if we needed help; this year’s sale won’t be the same without him. We’re
incredibly thankful for all the good times and memories we have.
