Justin Michael Doehring

Justin Michael Doehring lived his 36 years in Fresno & Clovis. He is survived by his parents Michael & Barbara Doehring, his sister Lisa and her husband Gary Howlin, and his 3 beautiful nieces Lexi, Ella & Olivia.

Justin was born on June 1st, 1984. He graduated from Buchanan High School in 2002 and attended many classes at Fresno City College.

Justin was born healthy and strong but began having health issues around 2 years of age. By the time he was 4, he was diagnosed with a rare degenerative disease called Histiocytosis X. At the time of his diagnosis he was given an excellent prognosis. However, around age 6 neurological changes occurred which affected his balance and motor skills. Within 5 years, Justin was unable to walk without the use of a walker. As time progressed his abilities to walk, talk and finally eat were all taken away. He underwent several medical procedures to help his condition but to no prevail. He had many disappointing outcomes but never gave up hope that he would walk again one day.

Justin always lived at home with his parents. In the last 15 years he was able to stay there due to the loving care of his parents and 4 caregivers Sarah, Ayesha, Marie and especially his main caregiver and best friend, Danielle.

Throughout all of his disabilities Justin was able to always keep up his spirits. He loved WWE wrestling, movies & music. He lived for motorcycle rides in his side car, visiting with his nieces, comedy shows, concerts and most of all the interactions he had with people in person and through his computer.

He had the unique ability to capture the heart of anyone who met him. He really was a true inspiration and will be deeply missed by his family, friends and all that had the pleasure of meeting him.
