Former West Monroe Mayor [[Bert Hatten]], a longtime Young friend, said that Young "knew a lot of people, liked people and many liked him in return and were lifetime friends.

During the retirement ceremony in Baton Rouge, Jake Hadley of the Department of Health and Hospitals said that Young's "greatest service was not to politicians in high office but to people with alcohol and drug problems. When Young learned of anyone in need of treatment, he would work tirelessly to get them help. Literally thousands of people across the state owe their recovery, in part, to Aubrey Young, and the people of this state owe him a great debt of gratitude."<ref name=obit/>
