Jim was born May 22, 1929 in St. Cloud to Christian and Elizabeth (Verkinnes) Younger. After graduating from St. Cloud Cathedral High School, he enlisted in the U.S. Army in 1947. He was honorably discharged in 1952 as Sergeant. He graduated from the Minnesota School of Business and began his 35 year career with Allstate Insurance. He married Val Vornbrock on May 11, 1957 at St. John the Baptist Catholic Church in Meire Grove. After retirement they moved to their 40 acres on the Clearwater River. He enjoyed the outdoors, bird watching, fishing and playing in his woods. Spending time with his family is what he loved the most.
Jim is survived by his wife of 55 years Val, of St. Cloud, children Julie (Randy) Roeder of Clearwater, Jim (Karen) of Vancouver, Canada, Jeff (Linda) of Golden Valley, Lori (Pat) Edelbrock of Sartell, Charles of Cold Spring, Patrick (Charrisse) of New Hope, and Timothy (Karen) of Rochester, 17 grandchildren, and two great grandchildren.
Preceding him in death were his parents and his brother Walter.

A sad day for us is a glorios day for Jim! Can just hear God say “well done good and faithful servant”! We will never forget Jim’s gracious, genuine greeting whenever we saw him and his great sense of humor. He enjoyed life and tried to make sure others did, too!
Although we can’t make the funeral, please know, Val, that you and your family will be in our prayers.
We extend our sympathy to all the families of Jim Younger. I have some fond memories of Jim and the Younger family going to the cabin, witching water at the cabin to having a snapping turtle escape from under a tub and crawling right behind all the Younger children and myself in the back seat of the station wagon on our way home from the cabin. He was a very dear man and will be missed. I’m sure he is enjoying Gods cabin in heaven! Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Val & family, We extend our heartfelt sorrow at Jim’s passing. Our memories of him will forever bring smiles and laughs. He was a gentle man in every sense of the word. God is holding him near and we are sending prayers for your comfort in his love. God Bless
