Jeffrey Young was a dedicated, respectful and highly talented trooper. He has been in my memory for many years now, and will continue to be, for the remainder of my life. The ultimate sacrafice he made, in the name of public safety will not be lost, as I will continue to tell his story until I can speak no more. Jeff, You are dearly missed, but will never be forgotten.

Your Friend and Brother,

J. J. Lewis

When I first met Jeff he was an energetic, recent graduate of the Florida Highway Patrol Training Academy and assigned to Troop E, Dade County, Miami. I was assigned to be Jeff's field training officer. He was a pleasure to train and a "natural" for the job. Following his riding assignment we developed a close friendship.
Jeff was very close to his family and he returned to his home county to be among them. A finer group of people you will never meet and all three of his siblings have been employed in the law enforcement capacity.
An avid outdoorsman, Jeff could hunt, fish, and camp with the best of them. He was happiest when his family was participating and enjoying the outdoors with him.
Jeff was an outstanding Trooper with an uncanny ability to find narcotics. He transferred from Miami to Troop F, Manatee County, Bradenton following a short tour. He was soon placed with a K-9 officer as part of a drug enforcement team and named troop "Felony Officer". Jeff excelled in this capacity making numerous arrests for narcotics and contraband violations. He was good! Jeff is missed by all who knew him.

God Bless You, Jeff!
