In Loving Memory of

Justin Daniel Lesh

July 12,1986 - April 17,2005

We will remember him forever




Justin was born in Canton, Ohio at 11:50 pm on July 12, 1986. He was a perfectly beautiful baby, weighing 7lbs 3oz and measuring 19¼ inches long. He was a very happy baby, child and young adult. He always showed his love to everyone around him.

Justin attended Perry Local Schools beginning in kindergarten at Watson Elementary and attended R.G.Drage during his senior year studying Graphic Arts. He graduated Perry High School on May 30, 2004

He played Hot Stove baseball in Perry all through his school years for several different teams and for various fall and summer leagues where he made many friends.

He was enrolled at the University of Akron and would have started college in the fall where he wanted to be an English major. Justin loved little kids and wanted to be a teacher.

It is our family's hope that by sharing Justin's story, his dream of becoming a teacher will live on. Please take a moment and click on His Timeline 

He'll be remembered as a kind and loving person with a big smile for everyone. He loved his family, friends, his dogs, his music, and he loved sports--especially baseball--and will be greatly missed by all who knew him.

Were You One of the Lucky Ones?
Author Unknown

Did you get to meet the one that lived
every day as if it were his last?

Did you see that smiling face,
did you hear his infectious laugh?

Did you know the one that had a hug
for even the ones that fussed at him?

Did you ever go somewhere and know
when the life of the party arrived?

Did you know the one that could make
the best of the worst situation?

Did you feel like you were a special
person around him?

Did you ever feel so loved?

Were you one of the lucky ones...
that got to meet my son?
