Likewise, Parry Shen, who plays Brad Cooper on General Hospital, called Young “one of the kindest & generous people” he had ever met.
“But the one trait that made him truly stand out in this business often filled with cynicism, was his indomitable positivity,” he wrote on his Facebook Sept. 17. “He was always striving to make the situation better. Working the problem instead of dwelling on the negative of a scenario.”
And according to the actor, Young’s generosity extended into his career. “He absolutely refused money whenever he took photos of me,” he wrote, “was present to help set up at events and simply wanted to help promote my, and other’s, career. His excitement when pitching a fun idea to shoot, was contagious.”
The soap star called Young’s death a “huge, huge loss,” adding, “To those who met him at our events, you know. Rest in peace, friend.”
