Keith Young Passes Away
on May 30th, 2011Keith was quite a charachter on the circuit and I know he still has many friends who are still involved with the UK SKi Racing.Keith Young 75 sadly passed away in the early hours of today Sunday 29th May after a short battle with his illness.
Keith drove ‘The Young Ones’ and drove Stephen Young to 2 F3 Championship victories in the 80′s; including 2nd overall behind his F3 boat at Lyme Regis. Keith also drove for Chris Coles in his early career, as well as many others whose sons, daughters and grandchildren are now racing. His last trip to Ski Racing was in 2008 to the Ramsgate European Championships where he met with many of his Skiing friends.
He leaves his wife Audrey, his sons Trevor and Stephen; his daughter Lindsey, his grandchildren and great grandchildren and will be sorely missed by his family and friends.

Very very sorry to hearing this sad news. It’s been a long time but all good memories going back to the 1970′s of a really nice bloke.
My sincere condolences to Keith’s family & closest friends.
Keith was a good friend of mine and I am so sad to hear of his passing, regards and condolences to Stephen and all the family.
He will be sadly missed.
A true Gentleman and Character…… from the early years at Hunstanton to the Nationals of the next decades, always ready with a smile, a friendly chat and a helping hand.
Keith ….. I salute your memory and offer my heartfelt sympathies to Audrey and all the Family.
Steven and all of Keiths family my thoughts are with you at this sad time.
Keith was there right at the beginning of my skiing career providing me with a great driver & boat. I can still remember his smile at the end of a race and how he looked after his skiers.
Sincere condolences Damon & Joanna
It was with great sadness that I recently learned of Keiths passing. He was there at the very start of my racing career, kindly driving for me, offering me a huge amount of experience and support. Although I didn’t see much of him in more recent years he was always interested to know how things were going when we did catch up at races, he was enthusiastic as ever. He always managed to make racing fun for me, as it should be for young skiers, and he was always mindful of his skiers and others.
My sympathy goes to all of his family in memory of such a likeable and friendly man
