Richard Dobbs Young

Richard "Ric" Dobbs Young was born in Ogden, Utah, on March 1, 1944. A 1962 graduate of Ogden High School, he went on to earn Bachelor of Arts degrees in Philosophy and Political Science and then his Juris Doctorate from the University of Utah.

Ric lived in Ogden, Salt Lake, Seattle, and Portland before settling in Las Vegas, Nevada, where he made his home for more than 40 years. In Las Vegas he built a respected civil law practice alongside his friend and colleague, Ken Bell.

In the latter years of his career, Ric said he truly found his place in mediation - a fitting testament to the character of a man who was always happy to help others find their way. He died in Mesa, Arizona, on May 7, 2021, at the age of 77.
