ICONIC SIERRA MADRE 
FLAMINGOS...GONE 
For more than a decade, these retired Sierra Madre Rose Float 
Flamingos adorned the lawn of the home of Robert Martin Young.
former President of the SMRF Association. They became a land-
mark for locals, symbolic of the city's unique and sometimes quirky 
character. They celebrated every holiday including Christmas and 
Easter. And now they are gone. 
They were recently removed following a second tragic incident at 
Young;s home in July. 
Robert Martin Young passed away at home in 2014 after choking 
while eating alone. His death was a shocking blow to the commu-
nity but the flamingos remained as a reminder to Sierra Madre of 
his many years of volunteer service to the city. 
Following his death, his only heir, son Robert 'Reid' Young moved 
back to Sierra Madre into the home and continued to let the birds 
add their ambience to the city, a unique and fun sight to all who 
passed by. And then the unimaginable happened. 
Reid, as he was known by his friends, was discovered in his home 
in late June, deceased. Although, according the the LA CountyCoroner's office, he died on June 28th, his body was not discovered 
until serveral days later. Because of this, the coroner's office has not 
been able to determine Reid's cause of death. He was 42 years old. 
In July, several of Reid's friends gathered in town for an intimate 
memorial. Reid is survived by his mother, Sydney Johnson of 
Newport Beach. Reid, like his father before him, will be missed by 
all who knew him and the iconic decorations will adorn that lawn 
no more. S. Henderson/ MVNews
