H1N1 flu virus contributes to popular pastor?s death




Family and friends will gather at Mountain View Community Church this weekend to celebrate the life of Senior Pastor Charles Youngkin.

Known as Charlie, the vibrant 60-year-old?s sudden death Feb. 12 is being attributed, in part, to the H1N1 flu virus.

?He was just an amazing, amazing man ? passionate and intentional,? said Youngkin?s wife of 36 years, Elaine.

An avid golf and tennis player who exercised every day and loved to play the guitar and sing, Youngkin experienced a dramatic downturn in his health earlier this month. He preached on a Sunday and began presenting flu-like symptoms later that evening. The next day, Elaine took him to a doctor, who immediately sent Youngkin to the hospital. He was released three days later only to be readmitted the following Monday. He never returned home after that.

A Contra Costa County woman died recently from complications related to the flu, county health officials said today.

The woman was in her 40s and died sometime over the past month, Contra Costa County Health Services spokeswoman Kate Fowlie said.

She was the seventh person in the county under 65 years old to die from the flu since December, Fowlie said.

At least some of those cases were confirmed to be the H1N1 virus, also known as swine flu, the spokeswoman said.
