Justin Tranter Obituary

JUSTIN ROBERT TRANTER 10/28/1990-5/29/2014 Justin Robert Tranter, age 23, was called home to be with the Lord on May 29, 2014 as the result of a motorcycle accident in the Cajon Pass. Justin was born on October 28, 1990 in Whittier, CA and at 7 months old moved to the High Desert. Growing up he attended Eagle Ranch, Brentwood and Lomitas Elementary Schools. He then attended Victor Junior High School before graduating from Excelsior High School in 2009. As a high school student he took construction classes and enjoyed working on a Habitat for Humanity project. It was also while he was in High School that he started his first job, working as a busboy at Nikki's Cafe. In High School, Justin was involved in the youth group at Victor Valley Christian Church where he cultivated a lifelong relationship with and love for his Lord, Jesus Christ. In February of 2011, Justin married his beautiful wife Jessica, together they were the parents of two wonderful and handsome young sons, Jaden and Jacob. Justin was beloved by his friends and family, who recognized in him a unique love for life. Everything he did, Justin did with a positive attitude and enthusiasm. Justin shared his excellent sense of humor with those in his life, always joking around and having fun. Justin had a passion for cars, having purchased his first car before even having a driver's license, and could tell you the make and model of most vehicles at a glance. Justin was incredibly generous and always willing to help those in need. Some of Justin's favorite ways to spend his time were riding miniature dirt bikes with his wife, Jessica, his sons and his friends or spending the evening around a bonfire in his backyard with family and friends. At the time of his passing Justin was employed with Inter-Con Security at SCE in Rialto and was studying Business Administration at AIU. Justin's goal was to either join the Air Force or become a Law Enforcement Officer following graduation. In his passing, Justin leaves behind his wife Jessica, sons Jaden age 3, and Jacob age 2, his parents Art and Sherry Tranter, brother and sister-in-law Tom Tranter and Shawna Tidmore, brother Dennis Tranter, sister and brother-in law Jackie and Chase Skiles, brother Dylan Tranter, Dylan's fiance Kayla Bantau, sister-in-law Amanda Tranter, father-in-law Rudy Carrillo, Jeri Junak, sister-in-law Jennifer Carrillo, brother-in-law Joshua Ruelas, nieces Zierra & Kierra Tidmore, Amber Wilkins and Hannah Skiles, nephews Christopher Bailey, James Tranter and Travis Skiles and many aunts, uncles, cousins and friends. A celebration of Justin's life will be held at 10:00am on Saturday June 21, 2014 at Victor Valley Christian Church, located at 11223 Eleventh Ave in Hesperia. In lieu of flowers, donations for his wife and 2 young sons can be made at any Wells Fargo Branch under The Justin Tranter Memorial Fund. Justin's family wishes to extend their heartfelt gratitude for all the love and support they have received from so many people during their time of loss, and find comfort in the knowledge that one day they will be reunited with Justin in Heaven.

Dear Sherry and Art and family,
I am so saddened to hear of Justin's death. I have many fond memories of him around Excelsior's campus and in my office reviewing his hard work. I am blessed to have known Justin and all of you. What good times :) I join you in thanking God for Justin's time with us, and knowing we will all be together in His heaven one day. That is what brings a peace and comfort beyond understanding to us today.

Dear Art, Sherry, and Tranter Family,

Words cannot replace the loss of a loved one, your dear son, and friend to many. Why God called him home noone will ever know, but the Father. A husband to his wife and father to his children is gone, but the memory will carry on and to his siblings, remember him as the man he was, and when his chidren come of age be there for they will ask questions. Try to answer to the best of your ability, but remember the body is gone, but the spirit will carry on and somehow they will come to a realization of this tradegy that took their father at such a young age. Art, my dear high school friend I grieve with you and no words can replace the sorrow that you and Sherry have, but I am here if you need me and though I cannot make the memorial my prayers are with you. May God Bless You All and May Justin Rest in Peace.
