Justin Trigila, 47, of Hartford, passed away Monday, March 9, 2026, after courageously battling illness, surrounded by his family and close friends.
Justin brought so much love and laughter to many lives. His big, bright smile and comedic personality lit up every room he walked into.
Justin served in the National Guard and was a graduate of UConn. He was a gifted artist and craftsman with a love of architecture. He enjoyed business ventures and the creativity behind them.
He had a passion for traveling and culture and visited Egypt, China, Hawaii, and Italy, just to name a few. He loved to cook, especially spicy Asian, Spanish, and Italian food.
Justin is survived by his loving mother, Susan Trigila; his twin sister, Julia Trigila; and his three brothers, Chris Henderson, Marc Henderson, and Nicholas Trigila. He is also survived by close relatives and friends: Sister-in-law, Iris Henderson; Sister-Law Laura Trigila; Roxana and Bill Kehn; his nieces and nephews, Dakota, Chase, CJ, Scarlett, Adelyn, Brenna, and Hunter; his aunt, Maria Ward; Cousin Sophy Merszei; and the love of his life, Elena Serrano, and their daughters, Alessandra and Paula.
Justin was predeceased by his father Joseph Trigila.
His family would like to thank the wonderful and gracious medical staff at Hartford Hospital, Bliss 3N, for the outstanding care they provided.
Justin’s services will be held Friday, March 20, at St. Augustine Church on Campfield Avenue in Hartford at 10 AM, followed by burial at Cedar Hill Cemetery. A reception will follow at the Pratolana Society at 611 Franklin Avenue in Hartford from 1–4 PM.

Justin my fondest childhood memories and your role in them will eternally be cherished. Art class in Kennelly is where we became friends. I have many great stories, family vacations, and experiences that are special that you were a part of. A truly awesome, honest, direct human, with a contagious smile, luminous spirit, and deeply connected. One of the few people who holds a special place in my heart.
My sincerest condolences to the Trigila Family, Susan my heart goes out to you. Julia, his womb mate, I deeply hurt for you. Elena, my deepest sympathy for you.
