ST. LOUIS, MO. – We are deeply saddened to share news of the sudden passing of Charles (Chuck) Young, a long–time MTI member with Tricor Metals, and an advocate and supporter of MTI.
Chuck was a strong, well-respected leader and influencer in MTI and the industry. He attended his first MTI Meeting as a guest in 2010 and was active upon Tricor Metals joining in 2011 and served as the Tricor Designated Representative to MTI. He was an MTI Board of Directors member since 2018, and a member of multiple Board Committees. He was especially passionate about leading the MTI Membership Marketing and Sales subcommittee.
He was active in MTI projects and Project Development Committees and was passionate about preserving knowledge in the industry and within the organization. Chuck served as the Knowledge Management Committee Chair for a number of years, as well as a champion of several KM projects, including the Technical Awareness Bulletins Committee from 2015-2020, Business Cases for KM Continuous Improvement, and was an active contributor on more than seven other MTI projects. He also served as the Co-Chair of three Global Solutions Symposiums, most recently the highly successful 2024 Symposium.
In 2022, MTI honored Chuck with a Distinguished Service Award for his accomplishments at MTI, which made a significant impact on the organization and delivered value to the members.
We will miss Chuck’s knowledge, leadership and friendship. Our deepest condolences go out to his loved ones, Tricor Metals family, MTI family and all those who knew Chuck as a friend.
We welcome members to share your sympathies and memories in the comments and we will be sure to pass them along.
