The late Rep. Don Young returned to Washington DC one last time. His casket was flown to the nation’s capital by Alaska Airlines Sunday, where a crowd greeted Young’s casket.
: Rep. Don Young’s home away from home for nearly 50 years. The longtime representative and Army veteran died Friday at the age of 88. A salute from Young’s wife, Anne, provided a solemn accent to a dreary D.C. day, with roughly a dozen friends looking on.
Henry was one of those greeting the Alaska Airlines flight carried Young’s casket. Henry worked for Don Young for 10 years in Washington, but has known him for as long as he can remember. He said Young’s loss is difficult for his home state, leaving a hole impossible to fill. Zack Brown handled communications for Young’s office. He worked for him for three years on Capitol Hill. Brown said the old school politician’s voice was important during difficult and divided times in Washington. Young’s booming, gruff voice, he said, will be sorely missed.
