“To live in hearts we leave behind is not to die.” — Thomas Campbell

In Loving Memory of Justin Jerin

Justin Jerin, 34, of Westfield, Massachusetts, passed away unexpectedly on Sunday, July 19, 2026.

Born on November 20, 1991, Justin entered the world with a beautiful soul and an extraordinary capacity to love. Those who truly knew him—who loved him and stood beside him throughout his life—will remember his compassion, creativity, and genuine ability to make others feel seen and valued.

Justin was an artist in every sense of the word. His love of drawing began at an early age and grew naturally into a passion for tattooing, one of his proudest accomplishments. Through his artwork, Justin found a way to express himself, connect with others, and share his passion with the world.

Justin found peace outdoors, especially while fishing with his dad,, Mark Andrews. Their days together were among the quiet moments he treasured most.

Some of Justin’s happiest memories were made in the kitchen. He could often be found cooking alongside his mother, Babbette Andrews, or his late grandfather, David Boyle—perfecting a cherished family bread recipe or preparing a meal that had to be “just right.” For Justin, the kitchen was more than a place to cook. It was where stories were shared, traditions were passed down, and love was expressed in simple but meaningful ways.

More than anything, Justin loved deeply. He had a generous spirit, a kind heart, and a way of making those around him feel like family. His laughter, creativity, and willingness to help others left a lasting impression on everyone fortunate enough to know him.

Justin is survived by his parents, Babbette and Mark Andrews; his sister, Emily; and many grandparents, aunts, uncles, extended family members, and dear friends who will forever cherish his memory.

Although his life was far too short, Justin leaves behind the art he created, the traditions he carried forward, and the kindness he showed to others. His family and friends will carry his memory with them always and remain grateful for the time they shared with him.
Justin will be deeply missed, lovingly remembered, and forever cherished.

A Final Remembrance from His Sister

To my brother:
Thank you for the laughter, the memories, and the unconditional love you gave so freely. I will carry a part of you with me always—in every quiet moment, every act of kindness, and every reminder of the beautiful soul you were.
I hope you have found peace, and I take comfort in knowing that your heart is finally at rest. Until we meet again, you will always be my brother—forever loved, forever missed, and never forgotten.
