Born Sept. 16, 1981, in Towanda, Pa., he was the son of Chip and Gwen Benjamin Lee. Justin attended the Towanda Schools and was formerly employed by the Taylor Packing Company in Wyalusing and by Adecco at E.I. DuPont in Towanda.
He was currently employed by The Sign Sale Company of Escondido, Calif.
Justin loved the outdoors and spending time with his family and friends at his grandparents' pond in Liberty Corners. He enjoyed boating, tubing, four-wheelers and go-carts as well as anything with a motor attached. Justin also enjoyed football and was a New York Giants fan. Justin will be remembered by his family and friends for his "kind heart" and will be deeply missed.
Surviving are: his parents, Chip and Gwen Lee, at home; his sister, Mindy L. Lee and Casey Ryan, at home; his maternal grandmother, Viola Benjamin of Liberty Corners; his paternal grandmother, Catherine Lee of Powell; his fiancee, Trischa Keiper, her son, Jagger, and her parents, Brian and Cindy Keiper; special friends Josh Keiper, David Stroud and Josh McGovern; and numerous aunts, uncles and cousins.
He was preceded in death by his grandfathers, Nathan "Nate" Benjamin and Robert "Tiger" Lee.
Friends and family are invited to attend a memorial service, which will be held at 2 p.m. Wednesday, May 23, at Nate and Viola Benjamin's Pond in Liberty Corners.
The Maryott-Bowen Funeral Home of Towanda is assisting Justin's family with service arrangements.
The family suggests that memorial contributions may be directed to the charity or organization of one's choice in Justin's memory.

Dear Chip,Gwen and Mindy, my heart goes out to you. I know you are hurting now. Just know that he isn't. He really will be missed. He was a sunny spot on the North Main Street gang. I remember since they were small- what fun and laughs we all had. Be safe and know that you have people here for you. Call on us any time, for anything. Take care of you. Know that like others have said- you have an angel to watch over you. Talk with him- it helps.

Justin, there are a lot of things I'll remember of you. Growing up together, as neighbors on North Main. I'll always remember sledding behind your house, you hanging out at mine, going to school together, sharing the same homeroom. Although we had fallen out of touch, you'll always be my friend, and neighbor. You will be missed.

Chip and Gwen, there are so many thing we would like to say, but we know you already know how we feel. All the words, flowers, hugs and tears will never come close to filling the void you are feeling right now. Remember,"Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take. Life is measured by those moments that take your breath away." We have shared so many of those together and we will continue to share them in our hearts. Please know that we love you and are only a phone call away.
With warm and loving regards,
Paul and Mitzi
