Koon Fai Young

January 29, 1958 - May 9, 2020

Koon Fai Young, born January 29, 1958, also known as George, passed away peacefully at home on May 9, 2020 with his wife and children beside him. With his first wife Norinne having predeceased him, he had three children Michelle Young, Micah Young and Marissa Young. His grandchildren include from Marissa and husband Tony Mitani include Mason and Tyler Mitani, and from Micah and Dayne Shinjo, Mikayla and Blayze Young. Along with his children and grandchildren he is survived by his wife Susan Young, who he met in November of 2008, moved in together in December 2008 and had been together in love and laughter ever since. George was a gregarious person who had a zest for life to say the least. He graduated from KCC with degree in Hotel and Restaurant Management many many moons ago. During his lifetime, he worked as both waiter and manager at various restaurants, the last one being The Ocean House Restaurant before it closed. In 1991, Honolulu Magazine voted him Best Waiter-and it was true. His personality made him such an outstanding waiter that he had visitors from all over who would call the restaurant and request to sit at one of his tables and if he wasn’t working that night, some would change their reservation to a night to when he was working. George’s other passion was tennis. He played since his teens, was a no holds barred player with a crushing serve. When he wasn’t working (before COVID) could find him at Diamond Head Tennis Court playing hard, laughing with “the boys”. A Hui Hou Kākou. I will see you again in Heaven my love
