From the California National Guard:
It is with deepest sympathy that I announce the death of Sergeant Christopher Dwayne Young, age 20, on 2 March 2007, at Camp Safwan, Iraq. Sergeant Young was the driver of an M1114 that struck an IED.
He is survived by his Mother, Gina B. Wright; Father, Joseph Young Jr.; Grandmother Audrey B. Wright and Grandfather Russell Wright.


Of the many things in life that Sergeant Young enjoyed, his mother said, “He loved football”.
