Robert Conley Young
June 26, 1938 - January 16, 2018
Robert Conley Young (Bubba) of Kyle died in San Marcos January 16, 2018.
Bubba was born in Kyle on June 26, 1938 to Charles H. and Mary Belle Young. His father is a former Mayor of Kyle and a member of the Texas House of Representatives who resigned that position to enter service at the onset of World War II where he served In the European Theater of Operations. Bubba’s mother was a descendant of the pioneering Wimberley and Pyland families of Wimberley, Texas.
He was a 1956 graduate of Kyle High School and a 1960 graduate of Texas A & M University.
His grandfather C.C Young was a Methodist minister for whom the C.C. Young retirement home in Dallas is named. He is descended, on his grandmother’s side, from the Wallace family of Kyle, which pioneered the lumber industry throughout Texas, most especially in Kyle.
In addition to his wife Helen, Bubba is pre-deceased by his parents and his brother Chester. He is survived by his daughter Cheryl Dotson and husband Darrell of Longview; his aunt Jean Pyland Bales of Kyle; sister-in-law Leslie Young also of Kyle as well as nephew Craig Young of Wimberley. His former wife, Louann Lancaster Young, resides in Conroe. Bubba had an especial affection for his step-family that consisted of Tommy, Louise, and Charles Lancaster and their children.
Bubba Young was an exceptional athlete. He was co-captain of the Kyle Panther basketball team that finished fourth in Texas. Bubba was selected to the all-state tournament team. He was selected to play in the all-star Texas High School Coaches Association game that included players from all classifications.
Bubba coached in Texas with stops at Carrizo Springs, Pampa, Del Valle, Del Rio and Amarillo Highlands. On retirement he was employed for many years as a bus driver for Hays CISD.
