Today we said goodbye to an integral member of the Compass House Family, David Young.
David came to Compass House in 2020 having suffered a stroke which changed his life, but little did we know how much he would change ours. He was stubborn and strong-willed, but through that tough, stoic exterior was a man with a heart of gold who yearned to learn new skills, make new friends and be as cheeky and charming in only the way David could.
He had a burning passion for cooking, inspired by his late mother. He learned and discovered a new passion for woodworking, taking any excuse to make loved ones something heartfelt by hand. He was a motor head, having spent his working life as a truck driver and obsessing over Peter Brock's racing car. But most importantly to David he was a father, sharing how proud he was of his son to anyone who was willing to listen.
Rest easy David, we will not forget you and your Compass House Family will miss you dearly.
