IN LOVING MEMORY

JUSTIN TYLER RHODES

“JSTUD”

AUGUST 8TH 2003 – MAY 30TH 2026

JUSTIN TYLER RHODES, 22, PASSED AWAY ON MAY 31, 2026.

BORN ON AUGUST 8, 2003, JUSTIN LIVED LIFE WITH A FREE SPIRIT, A FEARLESS HEART, AND A LOVE FOR ADVENTURE THAT TOUCHED EVERYONE WHO KNEW HIM.

JUSTIN WAS PRECEDED IN DEATH BY HIS LOVING PARENTS, LORI KAYS AND DAVID RHODES. HE IS SURVIVED BY HIS BROTHER, THOMAS KAYS (COURTNEY), AND THOMAS’S THREE SONS, NOAH, ROMAN, AND ELIJAH; HIS SISTER, MAKENZIE RHODES; HIS STEP FATHER RAYMOND JOHNSON; AND MANY OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS AND LOVED ONES WHO WILL FOREVER CHERISH HIS MEMORY.

JUSTIN HAD A PASSION FOR RIDING DIRT BIKES AND WAS HAPPIEST WHEN HE WAS OUTDOORS, CHASING EXCITEMENT AND MAKING MEMORIES. HE WAS KNOWN FOR HIS WILD SENSE OF HUMOR, HIS ADVENTUROUS NATURE, AND HIS ABILITY TO MAKE PEOPLE LAUGH. WHILE HE COULD BE A LITTLE CRAZY AT TIMES, THOSE WHO LOVED HIM KNEW THAT HIS HEART WAS GENUINE AND HIS LOYALTY RAN DEEP. HE WAS BLESSED WITH MANY CLOSE FRIENDS WHO BECAME FAMILY, INCLUDING JOSH HAMILTON, DANNY GALLAGHER, ASHLEY RONEY, CARTER DESTEFANO, ARTHUR POOLE, CHRISTIAN MORICLE, AND FAITH RHOADES. HE ALSO HELD A SPECIAL PLACE IN HIS HEART FOR CHRISTIAN’S CHILDREN, CHRISTIAN AND CAMERON, AND FAITH’S CHILDREN, LONDYN AND LAVON.

JUSTIN’S LIFE WAS FAR TOO SHORT, BUT THE IMPACT HE MADE ON THE LIVES OF HIS FAMILY AND FRIENDS WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN. HIS LAUGHTER, STORIES, AND ADVENTUROUS SPIRIT WILL LIVE ON IN THE HEARTS OF ALL WHO KNEW AND LOVED HIM. THOUGH HE IS NO LONGER WITH US, JUSTIN’S MEMORY WILL CONTINUE TO RIDE ON THROUGH EVERY DIRT TRAIL, EVERY SHARED LAUGH, AND EVERY CHERISHED MEMORY.

FOREVER LOVED. FOREVER MISSED. FOREVER REMEMBERED.
