Mizhikia fought very hard to live. Pulmonary fibrosis is a horrible disease and it kills quickly. Today, Mizhikia took his last breath. We were together and we got to say goodbye. Pure love filled the room. He was a wonderful husband and father and I’m fortunate to have been married to him for almost 25 years. He always supported me in anything I wanted to do. He believed in me and he was so proud of our son. ~ Kira
As Mizhikia’s mom, I’m very proud of my son who was a caring, compassionate man. If anyone needed help, he was there. He helped his one friend’s son who returned from Vietnam by offering his gift of healing. Mizhikia has touched many lives that we will never know of in this lifetime.
Edwin is survived by his wife Kira and son Connor, of Winchester, Virg., his mother, Mary L. Young of Mayetta, Kan., brother Warren A. Young of Calif. and numerous nieces and nephews and cousins and his loving in-law family in Penn.
He was preceded in death by his sister Rosemary Ann Young, nephew Warren A., Jr, his father John Flying, grandparents Rebecca M. and Amos J. Young, aunts Alfreda F., Delores E., Elizabeth A., Carol J. and infant boy.
Edwin is a Prairie Band Potawatomi tribal member.
