Justins greatest pride in life was his family. He was a devoted husband and father who enjoyed nothing more than spending time with his wife and children. Justin was a land surveyor and longtime employee of Kem-Tec, an engineering, surveying and environmental services company in Eastpointe. He always used to say what an awesome job he had that he got to be a kid and play in the woods every day. Justin had many hobbies, including teaching himself middle English so he could read J.R.R. Tolkien stories in their original form, finding obscure and random factoids to drop into conversations at just the right time, feeding his dogs way too many treats (because "they love getting treats"), finding new craft beers to try and painting miniatures. His most beloved hobby by far was preparing for and playing Dungeons and Dragons games with his friends lots and lots of laughter and good times were always had on D&D day. Wherever he is, hes rolling 20s for sure. Visitation will be 1 to 4 p.m Friday the 15th with eulogies at 3 p.m., at A.H. Peters Funeral Home, 20705 Mack at Vernier Road, Grosse Pointe Woods.
