Justin Tognozzi
April 7th, 2003 - February 25th, 2022
Justin Andrew Tognozzi, beloved son, brother, grandson, cousin and friend passed from this life on Friday, February 25, 2022, at the age of 18 from a tragic car accident.
He is survived by his father Eric Tognozzi; mother Amy Tognozzi; brother Bryce Tognozzi; grandparents Jim and Cathy Moffit, Pam Moffit, and Alice Gherardi; aunt Melissa and uncle Ben Harden, their children Jacob, Zachary, and Nathan; aunt Andrea and uncle Dan O’Neill, their children Evan and Aiden; aunt Debbie and uncle Larry Day, their children Jeremy, Christopher, and Sean; uncle Steve and aunt Stephanie Tognozzi, their child Michael; and many other extended family members.
Justin was loved by all who knew him - his wit, charm and smile would light up a room. Justin enjoyed spending time with his friends, had a passion for golf and hockey and was an entrepreneur at heart. He thrived academically, graduating from Marquette High School in conjunction with obtaining an associate degree from St. Louis Community College. He attended the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa in pursuit of a Bachelor of Science degree in Biochemistry. He will be truly missed and forever remembered.
Services: All are invited to attend Justin’s celebration of life at Forest Hills Country Club, 36 Forest Club Drive, Clarkson Valley, MO 63005 on Sunday, March 6th starting at 2:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to The Evans Scholars Foundation. As a service of the SCHRADER Funeral Home and Crematory, friends may sign the family’s on-line guestbook at Schrader.com.

I was on of Justin’s bosses at the Ellisville pool, he was and was a key member in our “pool family.” Justin was fun to talk to on his breaks and was a good one to have intellectual conversations with as he was so smart for his young age. He could brighten anyone’s day with his smile and contagious energy. He was adored by the children he taught swim lessons too and many more. Prayers for all those who knew him.

When I can to the university of alabama I was worried I would have trouble finding people to talk to and hang out with. Fortunately on august 12th 2021 I met Justin. Right from the start I loved Justin he was a great friend who loved to hang out and had the best work ethic I had ever seen. After about a month or two it was evident that Justin was one of my best friends and I had wished I knew him all along in St.Louis. Justin is truthfully an amazing person and for the 7 months I had the pleasure of knowing him he was someone I could always hang out with and talk to. I will forever miss Justin and will always remember all the great times we had together.
