Justin Carrier Obituary
Justin Phillip Carrier, 36, of Livingston, LA, passed away tragically and unexpectedly at 1:44 AM on Tuesday, February 21, 2023 in his residence.
Born June 23, 1986 in Lake Charles, LA, Justin graduated with honors in 2004 from LaGrange High School and attended McNeese State University. He moved away from home and to the Port Allen / Baton Rouge area in 2012. Justin worked as an operator at Nutrena for a number of years. Justin loved spending time outdoors doing both yard work and spending time with his children. He loved his children greatly and enjoyed coaching and supporting their activities and sports. Justin was a big guy with an even bigger heart. He never met a stranger and was loved by all who knew him.
Justin is survived by his children, Josiah, Amelia, and Jack Carrier; mother, Vickie Thomas (Cary); father, Mark Carrier (Sarah); brother, Marcus Carrier (Haley); sister, Karlee Carrier (Jeremy Jolivette); step-sisters, Cara Arnold (Austin) and Autumn Hitchcock (Travis); nieces and nephews, Jadyn, Xander, and Torian Carrier, Orlando and Kora Jolivette, Eli and Ivy Jo Arnold, and Bentley and Stetson Hitchcock; along with numerous other aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.
He was preceded in death by his grandparents, Alvin and Ethel Trahan, Wilson Arabie, and Allen and Susie Carrier; and two uncles, Michael and Eugene Trahan.
A service to celebrate his life will be at 11:00 AM on Wednesday, March 1, 2023 at Johnson Funeral Home. Gary Alexander and Father Keith Pellerin will officiate. Burial will follow in Highland Memory Gardens. A gathering of family members and friends will be at the funeral home on Tuesday from 5:00 PM to 9:00 PM and continue on Wednesday from 9:00 AM until the start of the service.
Pallbearers for the service will be Aaron Trahan, Jeremy Dansby, Kalen Morris, Jeromee Pearley, Jimmy Bordelon, J. B. Smith, and Gary McInnis.
Donations in his memory can be made to the family for his children’s future education.
