Justin J. Cunha, 43, of Cranston, passed away after a brief illness on Friday, May 20, 2022. Born in Pawtucket, he was the son of Jeffery J. Cunha and Mary Lou McCaffrey. Justin spent most of his life in Cranston.
He was tall and handsome, with a great smile and an interesting sense of humor. He graduated from Johnson & Wales University with a Culinary Arts Degree; and worked as a sous chef in Rhode Island, Oregon, Wyoming, Arizona, and Connecticut. He started swimming at six months, spent lots of time at the beach, and loved the Sons of Anarchy. An avid Yankee fan since birth, it seems he always welcomed an argument with local Red Sox Fans. Most of all, he loved his daughter.
Besides his parents, he is survived by his daughter, Arianna Lou Cunha. His aunts, uncles, cousins, and childhood friends have fond memories of him.
Relatives and friends are kindly invited to a Funeral Service on Thursday, May 26th at 6:30 PM in the O’Neill Funeral Home, 3102 Mendon Road, Cumberland.
Visiting hours from 5-6:30 PM prior to the Service in the O’Neill Funeral Home.

I am so very sorry to hear of Justin’s passing. We always kept in touch after being friends in Spanish class at Cranston East. He was so proud of his Lil Lu and her accomplishments. Prayers for peace and healing for all his family and friends.
