This past July, we lost our Justin John, and the lives of his boys changed forever. We are raising funds to help cover expenses and provide support for his children during this unimaginable time. Any contribution, no matter the size, will help ease the financial burden and allow our family to focus on honoring Justin’s memory and caring for Jaxon and Joshy. Your kindness, prayers, and support mean more than we can ever express.

Justin was a man of many passions, but none greater than his love for his boys and his family and his deep-rooted connection to anything with an engine. A gifted mechanic, Justin could fix just about anything — and often did, not just for a living, but for friends, neighbors, or anyone who needed a hand. His love of cars was lifelong, and his knowledge and skill under the hood were matched only by the pride he took in helping others.

No words will ever be enough to describe the incredible person we lost. When Justin was in a room, you knew it - his loud, fun personality and contagious laughter filled every space. His smile could light up the darkest days. That smile, full of humor and heart, will be remembered by all who knew and loved him.

He is survived by his father, Andrew (Sue) Blasko; his mother, Jennifer (Dan) Eckerson; and his beloved children, Jaxon and Joshua, and their mother, Kristin Colocousis. He is also survived by his siblings: Ben (Nicole) Blasko, Evan (Kayley) Eckerson, Alexandra (Ryan) Eckerson, and Cody Blasko. Justin leaves behind many aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews, and countless others who were touched by his life.
