Throughout his life, Justin was known for steady dedication and a strong work ethic. A hard-working farmer, he retired in May 2000 after 32 years of service with Gila River Farms. He also owned farmland and leased fields from others in the community.
Justin found comfort in simple pleasures and time spent outdoors. He enjoyed listening to country and oldies music, and he was a devoted WWE fan who always made time to watch.
A quiet, straightforward man, Justin was someone who showed care through presence and responsibility—taking care of kids and many others in ways that did not seek attention, but made a lasting difference.
Justin is survived by his children, Terri Enos, Gloria Ramirez, Mary B. Angeles, Genny Barrera, Lisa Hernandez, Colleen Lewis, and Richard Lewis Jr.; several grandchildren; great grandchildren; and his niece Melissa Pedro.
He was preceded in death by his wife Marilyn; his children Daniel Lewis, Richard Lewis, Phyllis Osife, Sylvia Gaytan, Kathleen Espinoza, Antonio "Tony" Barrera; his brother Melvin Pedro; and several grandchildren and great grandchildren.
