Reflecting on Brad Everett Young’s Life

He was hit by another vehicle that had been traveling in the wrong direction, The Hollywood Reporter reports.
The news of his passing has been met with great sadness, with fans and celebrities reacting to the news with heartfelt tributes. This includes a lengthy tribute from “General Hospital” actor Parry Sheen, who plays the role of Brad Cooper.
Shen wrote a long tribute to Everett Young on Facebook. He included several photos of himself, which the late star presumably had taken. Everett Young was a celebrity photographer and had worked for prestigious magazines, as well as photographing big events.
In Shen’s statement, he wrote, “Brad Everett Young was one of the kindest & generous people I have ever met. But the one trait that made him truly stand out in this business, often filled with cynicism, was his indomitable positivity.”
He continued, “He was always striving to make the situation better. Working the problem instead of dwelling on the negative of a scenario. He absolutely refused money whenever he took photos of me, was present to help set up at events and simply wanted to help promote my, and other’s career.”
Shen reflected on how Everett Young had created the Dream Loud Official initiative to “restore music & arts programs at schools.” He ended his message with a heartfelt statement about the loss that he feels. “A huge, huge loss,” Shen wrote. “To those who met him at our events, you know.
