Jerome Daniel Young, 48, died Friday, August 31, 2018 near Myrtle in Union County as the result of a motor vehicle accident. Jerome loved the outdoors and spent much time there. He was a frequent fisherman and hunter and often walked the creeks beds of Northeast Mississippi looking for Native American Indian artifacts esp. arrowheads which he loved to collect.
