Justin Fletcher, 23

Justin Fletcher, 23, of Athol, Idaho, unexpectedly passed away in his sleep Nov. 23, 2023. Justin had a heart of gold and loved and cared about everyone he ever met, even if it was just for a second. Justin could make everyone's day better with a joke, a funny story, a hug or even just his smile. Justin loved hanging out with his friends and family. He loved rock 'n' roll, rap, his dog Amy, doing crafts, playing outside with his siblings, playing video games with his brothers, hunting with Mrs. Vikki and Ron, fishing, boating with Brayden and campfires. Justin loved and adored his two nephews and his beautiful niece. 

Proverbs 17:17 says, “A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.” This suits Justin perfectly. Justin was so loved and will continue to be loved by all. Justin is in Heaven walking without his wheelchair, having a great amount of fun with his great-grandma Homer, holding his “son’s” baby Kayven, hanging out with his buddy Jake, and I'm sure he's driving race cars with Gauge. Justin is in a much better place with the Lord, but he will be so missed down here on earth. 

He came into this world June 2, 2000, to his mother, Charlene, and later gained an amazing father, Jeremy Miller. Justin always made sure people knew Jeremy was his dad, and no one could take that from him. His seven siblings will miss him: Dakota, Jordyn, Elizabeth, Dallas, Erika, Gunnar, Grant and Cassidy; his brother-in-law, Xanden; his two nephews, Leeland and Beacon; his niece, Addison; his grandmother, Marlene, and his grandfather, Frank; his uncles and aunts, Darlene, Collene (Bryce), Samuel, Frank (Suzy), Dan, Josh (Chung), Raelene (Dave), Christine (Jimmy), Melissa, John-John, Tiffany, and Monty; his cousins, Cody (Lauren), Rachel, Sean, Kemper, Kagan, Kenzie, Cash, Aiden, Stephanie, Zack, Liam, Noah, Brayden, Aubree, Jaxxon, and Dawn; his best friends, Mrs. Vikki and Ron, Cassidy, Chase, his “son,” Brayden, his dog, Amy, and everyone else whose hearts he touched. May his beautiful soul forever rest in peace. We love you forever and always, Justin. With love, your family.
