Jared Willis Justice
Born on November 17, 1984, Jared was the beloved son of Jerry Willis and Dorothy Jean Justice of Pikeville. His life, though far too short, was marked by deep love, unwavering loyalty, and a quiet strength that those who knew him will never forget.
Jared grew up grounded in the values of family, faith, and hard work—principles instilled in him by his loving parents and grandparents. He was preceded in death by his paternal grandparents, Willis and Dorothy Justice, and maternal grandparents, Ireland and Fannie Justice.
Though they have gone before him, their influence remained woven into the fabric of Jared’s character, shaping the man he became. Known for his calm demeanor and kind heart, Jared had a gentle presence that instantly put others at ease.
He found joy in simple things—time spent with family, laughter shared with friends, and the peace of being at home in the community he cherished. Those close to him speak fondly of his generosity, his reliability, and the way he would quietly step in to help whenever someone needed support.
Jared was the kind of man who didn’t seek attention or praise; instead, he lived each day guided by humility and love. Jared’s greatest devotion in life was to his family. He shared a strong and enduring bond with his wife, Tesia James Justice, who stood beside him through every season of life.
Their partnership was built on mutual respect, compassion, and genuine companionship. Together, they created a warm and loving home for their two precious daughters, Jocelyn James and Gabriella Justice of Caney.
His girls were the light of his life, and he was a devoted father who took great pride in watching them grow, dream, and discover the world around them.
In addition to his wife and daughters, Jared leaves behind his parents, Jerry and Dorothy Jean Justice; his father and mother-in-law, Darren and Kimberly James; and his brother-in-law, Cody James.
He is also survived by a large extended family and many dear friends who will forever hold his memory close. Each of them carries stories of Jared’s kindness, his quiet humor, and the steady warmth he brought into their lives.
