Remembering Dr. Marvin Young
We are saddened by the passing of Marvin R. Young, M.D.,
a long-time member of the Seattle Dermatology community and a prominent member of the University of Washington Dermatology Division Clinical Faculty. He lost his long battle with cancer on Monday, March 12, 2012.
Marv’s career with the Dermatology Division began on July 1, 1965, when he was appointed Clinical Instructor. He continued to advance through the clinical ranks, and in 1983 he was appointed as Clinical Professor. He served the University and the medical community in multiple capacities including President of the Washington State Medical Association, President of the King County Medical Society and President of the Pacific Northwest Dermatology Society. He served for 25 years as the Treasurer of the Robert Pommerening Lectureship.
For many years Marv was in private practice in Seattle. During that time and after retirement, he traveled to the VA hospitals and Indian Health Services in Alaska and Montana on a monthly basis to bring dermatology care to the underserved. His latest passion was the Teledermatology Project for the VA. He was a prolific reader of cases from the VISN and he taught in the annual Teledermatology Conference at University of Washington Medical Center.
In 2001, he and his wife, Judy, established the Young Research Fund for support of research and research fellows in the Division of Dermatology. This fund continues to be a valuable resource for our Division and is credited for support on many publications from the Division.
Marvin enjoyed traveling, fly fishing, backpacking, and especially jazz piano playing. He could always be depended upon for a thoughtful, candid analysis of problems ranging from medicine, music, politics and beyond. When it came to the Division, he was always there for us- as was his loving wife, Judy. I will miss his wise counsel and his friendship.
In lieu of flowers, the family suggests memorial contributions be made to UW Medicine, Division of Dermatology, Young Research Fund. Make checks payable to "University of Washington Foundation” and addressed to: UW Medicine Advancement, Box 358045, Seattle, WA 98195-8045.
