It is with deep sorrow and heartfelt sympathy that we acknowledge the passing of Alex Young of Queensland, beloved wife of Terry Young. Her loss is felt not only within her family but also across the wider community that knew her through her quiet strength, compassion, and unwavering support for those around her.
Alex was more than a partner to a public servant—she was a pillar of encouragement, grace, and resilience. Behind the scenes, she played a meaningful role in the life of service that defined her husband’s work, offering steady support through the demands and responsibilities that come with public office. Her presence was a source of balance and warmth, grounding those closest to her with kindness and sincerity.
To her family, Alex was a devoted wife, a loving mother, and a cherished friend. She created a home filled with care, understanding, and love—an environment where those around her felt safe, valued, and supported. Her strength was evident not in grand gestures, but in the everyday moments of compassion and generosity that defined her character. She gave of herself selflessly, always placing the well-being of her loved ones first.
Those who had the privilege of knowing Alex speak of her gentle spirit and thoughtful nature. She had a way of making people feel seen and heard, offering comfort without judgment and friendship without condition. Her kindness left a lasting impression, and her memory will live on in the countless lives she touched.
In times like this, words often fall short of capturing the depth of loss. Yet, what remains is the legacy of a life lived with purpose and heart. Alex’s influence will continue to be felt in the strength of her family, in the love she shared, and in the quiet but meaningful impact she made in her community.
We extend our deepest condolences to Terry Young, their family, and all who are grieving this profound loss. May they find comfort in cherished memories and strength in the support of those around them during this incredibly difficult time.
As we remember Alex Young, we honor a life marked by love, humility, and unwavering devotion. May her soul rest in eternal peace, and may her memory forever remain a blessing to those who knew and loved her.
