Our beloved husband, father, son, and friend passed suddenly on November 2, 2021. He is survived by his daughter Leia, wife Caitlin, mother Tina, his siblings, and many of his brothers and sisters in arms.

Justin was born in Indian Head Saskatchewan and raised in Winnipeg. He worked as a cook before joining the military in 2007. He spent the first part of his career as an MSE op and in 2012 He changed trades to become an electrician.  Over the years the Royal Canadian Engineers became Justin's family. During his multiple deployments and postings he made many amazing friends, whom he loved fiercely. 

He had a passion for gaming and music and could often be heard singing his favourite songs. He often entertained his friends with his own rendition of “The Sound of Silence” be it on deployment, raising the spirits of those around him, in the car singing along with his little girl or dancing in the kitchen with his wife.

Justin had an amazing smile, an infectious laugh,  He could instantly lift  the mood of a room and make you laugh so hard that your sides hurt. He was a dedicated father, loving husband and will be deeply missed by all who knew him.​

I'm so sorry to hear of Justin' passing. I remember having the pleasure of working with him after he made the switch from MSE Op to Electrician in Winnipeg. He always seemed to be having fun, no matter what he was doing. Deepest condolences to his family. RIP...Chimo.
