In death Officer Kenyon
Youngstrom continues to help and serve his fellow man. Officer Kenyon
Youngstrom was an organ donor. I’m happy that
Officer Kenyon Youngsrtom was an organ donor and sad that he had to
die, being a person who received a kidney from a donor. Officer
Kenyon Youngstrom is survived by his wife, Karen, two sons and two
daughters, parents, Gaylord and Jill Youngstrom of Riverside, Calif.,
four brothers and a sister.
When Officers stop drivers
who are breaking the law, they are putting their lives on the line.
There are a lot of people who don’t like law enforcement Officers.
Christopher Boone Lacy happened to be one of them. We at Streetwise
Special Delivery Courier Service send our prayers out to Officer
Kenyon Youngstrom’s, family and the department.
