Rev. C.R. Young Cyril Rufus Young, age 93, of Dardanelle, Arkansas, died Wednesday, October 9, 2013 at his home. He was born November 17, 1919 at Adona, Perry County, Arkansas to the late Rufus Arnold Young and Connie Gertrude Green Young. He was ordained as an Assembly of God minister in 1968 pastoring London Assembly of God 7 years, Centerville Assembly of God 13 years, and the last one being the South New Hope Assembly of God Church for 18 years. He was a self-made man who believed in people and wasn't afraid to take a chance. He loved God and used his talents to build human lives and as a carpenter to build and improve churches. He loved to hunt, fish, sing and play the guitar. His last enjoyment in life came from a tiny baby kitten he called "crybaby" who was dropped off on his carport. He said, "It can't fend for itself, feed it". He loved to watch it play and said he wouldn't take $50 for the kitten. He was preceded in death by his parents Rufus Arnold Young and Connie Gertrude Young; his first wife, Rev. Zula Bee Young; three sisters, Ruby Young, Thera I. Young, and Maxine Hunter; three brothers, Veda Young, Pecie Young and his twin Cedric Young.
