In memory of Justin Routte

The morning of November 18th, Justin Routte lost his battle to addiction and passed on to a place full of peace and light. Justin was a loving father, husband, son, brother, and friend to so many.

Justin was married to our dear friend Shannon, his high school sweetheart, and they had 3 beautiful children together – their angel baby Olivia, who passed away from cancer in April of 2022, their oldest daughter Emma, and their youngest, a son the spitting image of him, Logan. Justin was a hard-working, dedicated father and husband, providing their home with many laughs and lots of love.

It is no doubt that many stories will be told about Justin in the days and weeks to come. It’s hard to share a memory that involved him that wasn’t full of smiles and positivity – he will be missed by so, so many people and his memory will undoubtedly live on forever.

Along with the emotional pain that a death brings, comes financial burdens as well. Justin was the primary financial support to their family, and we are trying to raise money for Shannon, Emma, and Logan to help with costs that will incur and to help wherever possible.

In times of pain and sadness, we often see people come together to help one another make it through their hardest moments with as little worries as possible. We are so very thankful for any support you may be able to provide their family.
