LAVIGNE, Justin Jean Joseph
January 12, 1973-September 23, 2021
It is with profound sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Justin (JJ) Lavigne, loving father, son, brother, uncle, and friend on September 23, 2021 at 48 years of age. Justin is survived by his former wife, Bonnie Lavigne, and their three children: Hannah, Parker and Spencer Lavigne; mother, Annette; three brothers and two sisters: Brigitte Martyshuk (Bryan), Luc Lavigne (Kelli), Gilbert Lavigne (Dana), Ronald Lavigne (Pearl), and Monique Lavigne; along with many friends and extended family. He was predeceased by his father, Cyril, and sister Claudette. Justin was known for his outgoing and charismatic personality, sense of humour, contagious smile, and roaring laugh. Many would say that “he gave the best hugs” and they were always full of warmth and meaning.
A Celebration of Life is anticipated for the Summer of 2022 for family and friends. In lieu of flowers, donations may be forwarded to the family at justinlavignememorial@gmail.com or The Mental Health Foundation to support addiction and mental health care in Alberta.
I met JJ when I lived in Beaumont for a brief time in the late 80’s. We became good friends and teammates on the local hockey team. When I moved away, we kept in touch and he even came to my wedding. After a while, we lost touch but out of nowhere, he contacted me when he was in Winnipeg for a business trip a few years ago. We got together, shared memories and it was basically a farewell between us, but at the time, I didn’t realize it. I know JJ had some issues he was dealing with and I was sad to find his obituary when I searched his name this morning. I will hold on to my good memories.
To the Lavigne family,
My heartfelt condolences. Peace is hard to find at any time. I send wishes that you have all found it, and Justin, too.
I’m so sorry to hear of Justin’s passing. My condolences to his family. I hadn’t known him for very long (I met him while he was in Saskatchewan), but in that time it was so apparent how proud he was of/how much he loved his kids.
