Justin Dean Kittson

In Loving Memory of Justin Dean Kittson (May 4, 1964 - June 2, 2024).

Justin unexpectedly passed away in his sleep June 2. We lost a beloved son, brother, uncle and friend. Justin is survived by his mother Ella Mae, siblings Tammy Kittson, Christopher Doolin, and brother in law, Tony Christensen. Though he never married or had children of his own, he adored his nephew and nieces: Anthony Levi Kittson, Ella Marie Passmore, Heather Leann Scott, and Michelle Rae Dairy. His greatest joy came from his great-nephews and great-nieces: Ryne Levi Kittson, Rorie Mae Passmore, Maddux Allen Kittson, Josie Addison Rachelle Kittson, William Allen Passmore, Mehgan Nicole Dairy, and Braylen Autzen Dairy. Justin was preceded in death by his father, Fred Kittson (July 2013).

Justin graduated from McNary High School. He worked several different jobs, but for the last 10 years'ish he worked as a Medical Transport Driver for Salem Yellow Cab. Justin knew all the side streets and how to avoid traffic. He could get "from South Salem to Keizer in less than six minutes" and get a last minute call to their appointment on time. Justin was an avid reader. He travelled to Japan in 2010. He brought back multi flavored KitKats and made us giggle telling us how he got lost in a Japanese train station for over two hours. Justin enjoyed feeding the kids, going for a Jamba Juice, bringing over fresh strawberries, making spaghetti sauce and garlic butter (we provided the noodles and bread :D). Justin would come over just to give the kids a pudding, or a flower ruffle their hair, give them a hug and just just leave. Writing this makes me smile.

Rest in peace, Justin. We miss you. Until we meet again.
