Justin will be lovingly remembered by his family. Justin is leaving behind his fiancée, Manuela Arredondo and three wonderful children: Gavin, Xavior and Rosealynn.

Justin was preceded in death by his paternal grandparents, Russel and Evelyn Howk and maternal grandparents, Roger and Nellie Petersen.

Justin was born on May 7, 1983 in New Ulm, Minnesota. He graduated from New Ulm Public School in 2001 where he went on to live in Duluth, Minnesota for a short while before taking residency in Arlington, Minnesota. Justin worked as a forklift operator for Michael Foods. He dedicated many long hours the last 15 years to provide for his children. He will be remembered for his dedication and sacrifices to his family!

After years of hard work, Justin purchased his first home in the spring of 2021 and was learning how to landscape; he was so excited to have a yard for his kids! When Justin wasn’t working, he enjoyed roller blading, X-box, listening to music, relaxing, and being outside with his kids and dogs. Justin was a Minnesota Vikings and Minnesota Wild fan for life, he hardly missed a game. He was a fan of horror movies; however, he was also a huge fan of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles which he passed on to his children. When others spoke of Justin, it is often that they would say he was a kind soul and that he wouldn’t hurt a fly. He was not a person to laugh at the expense of another. Justin had the most infectious laugh and eyes that could see through your soul. He truly had a one-of-a-kind sense of humor. A piece of our hearts left with Justin when he left this earth but rest assured, we will be whole again one day.
