He was born on 11 May 1984 in Salt Lake City, Utah to Mark Winslow and Kathy Williams Young. He was a graduate of Bountiful High School and completed one year at Weber State University prior to his mission. He had a keen sense of humor and a well-developed imagination.

He served with diligence and enthusiasm and was blessed with outstanding companions. Although he had served for 21 months, he didn't want to come home. He will never be released as a missionary.
