Young's neighbor, Kelly Brennan, says he was the kind of neighbor who would help you with groceries, have a conversation, and will be missed.
"He was just the kindest, nicest man. Saw him every day," said Brennan through tears. "He was just a really kind man and deserved a better end."
According to police, a 30-year-old-woman was taken into custody in connection to the crash. She had six children in the car with her, per West Milwaukee PD. They wouldn't give any additional details as to their age or where they are now.
Charges are being referred to the Milwaukee County District Attorney's Office.
