Funeral services were held today for Doug Young, who passed away on June 21 at age 62. Lt. Young retired only three short years ago after an exemplary 38-year career with the LAPD, nearly all of it spent in South Los Angeles. A committed Christian, he chose to live his faith rather than talk about it. He was a devoted husband, father, and grandfather, and he was the kind of cop you would be grateful to see at your front door if you were ever to find yourself in need of one. If every supervisor on the LAPD could but emulate him, it would be a far different and far better police department. Countless LAPD officers, including this one, are grateful to have known and served under him. RIP.
