JUSTIN EDWARD MITCHELL
FOREVER 37
"Justin was a great dad and truly loved being a dad. His daughter, Nevaeh, was his heart, and he was hers too. We all miss him so much and miss his funny attitude. He was the most laid-back person I've ever known, but once he got mad about something, he would not shut up or let it go—you literally had to walk away. I miss you so bad, son, so bad." - his family
Justin Edward Mitchell was a man of contrasts—calm and easygoing one moment, passionately driven the next. His humor and laid-back nature drew people to him, while his fierce love for his daughter, Nevaeh, defined him. To Justin, being a father wasn’t just a role; it was his purpose, the core of his existence. Nevaeh was his everything, and the bond they shared was one of pure, unconditional love.
He had a way of making people laugh, of lightening a room with his easy charm and sharp wit. But Justin was more than just his humor; he was a man with a big heart who loved deeply and felt everything with intensity. His stubborn streak, that refusal to let go once something mattered to him, was both frustrating and endearing—an unwavering part of who he was.
Justin’s story is one of triumphs and struggles. For ten months, he thrived in recovery, rebuilding his life with determination and courage. But the world isn’t always kind to those on a path of healing. He was moved from a place where he had found stability to one filled with old triggers and painful memories—a choice that defies understanding and ultimately cost him his life.
Though Justin is gone, his love endures. It lives on in Nevaeh’s heart, in the laughter he shared, and in the memories that bring both joy and tears. He was a son, a father, and a friend, and his absence leaves a void that cannot be filled.
