William "Bill" Edward Youngs, 77, passed away on November 7, 2025, at Baptist Health in Lexington KY.

Born June 13, 1948, in Celina, OH, he was the son of the late Corinne (Mallory) and William T. Youngs. He was preceded in death last January by his wife of 54 years, Carol Youngs, and his son, Beau Youngs (2015).

Left to mourn are his daughter and son-in-law, Betsy and Adam Lowe and two grandchildren that he was so proud of, Ally and Brian; siblings, Tom (Margaret) Youngs, Diana (Tom) Finkelmeier, Jim (Kathy) Youngs and Kathy (Steve) Kuhn. Also left to mourn him are many friends, nieces, nephews, cousins and past football players that were like sons to him.

Bill graduated from Celina Senior High school in 1966 where he earned all WBL honors in football, played basketball and track and field. He started his college career playing football at Ohio Northern and received his bachelor's degree in Secondary Education from Bowling Green State University.

Bill devoted his life to building and developing young men to not only be better athletes but to be better men. He started his coaching career at Whitmer High School and was head football coach and later athletic director at Macomber Whitney High School until they closed in 1991. He continued his teaching and coaching career at Start High School. Bill had many student athletes play in college and Myron Bell, who was like a son, went on to play for the Pittsburgh Steelers. He was an avid Ohio State Buckeye fan and a Pittsburgh Steelers fan.

After retirement Bill enjoyed spending time in the keys, socializing at the VFW, golfing, fishing in the UP and spending time with his grandchildren.

Bill will be missed by many, but we find peace in knowing that he is reunited with the love of his life. Funeral services will be held at 10:00 AM on Friday, November 21, 2025, at St. Clement Catholic Church Toledo, Ohio.

Visitation will be 4-8:00 PM on Thursday, November 20, 2025, at Ansberg-West Funeral Home.

Memorial donations may be made to the Bill Youngs Memorial Scholarship fund. This will go to a graduating senior football player from Celina Senior High School who is furthering their education in college.
