Justin Welch Obituary
Justin is survived by his beloved life partner Kym Patrico of 32 years, & sisters Natalie O'Harran and Stephanie Welch. He is also survived by his niece and nephews, Natalie, Liam, Christopher and Tony, as well as much extended family.
Justin was born in Boston, MA to Richard Welch and Kathleen Mules Welch on October 13, 1971. He was a talented guitarist and songwriter. Some of his best days were spent writing and playing original music with his bandmates. Justin had a good eye & niche for carpentry and built many homes. Confident that "these houses will still be here a hundred years after I was gone."
Justin lived life to the fullest embracing each moment.
"Ups and downs regardless, I look back on my life thinking it was one hell of a ride! With much love and fondness."- J.S.Welch
Justin will be greatly missed by many family members and friends.
Justin was a proud 'Bostonian' and ardent patriot, supporting his country's military. In lieu of sending any flowers, it would bring him great honor if donations could be made to his charity of choice, The Wounded Warriors.

If we could just go back four years....turn the clock backs before your heart began the biggest fight of your life I´d give up so much!! I continue to struggle without my big brother Justin daily but this weekend, Super Bowl wknd every year hits hard! Grateful to have had extra time with him, but I´m still working on him not being here anymore. Miss him dearly!

I worked with Justin on a cranberry farm, I immediately gravitated to him, we shared some interests in music, had fun together for a short time and I am greatly saddened about his passing.

Justin I am heartbroken at your passing. For 27 years you were my big brother my protector and my best friend. You loved when I would tag along to your shows and I would jamn out with the crowd and your band mates our family and friends. I will forever miss those days when we were one big family who loved and supported each other. The last 17years were very different. It was complex to say the least but I never stopped loving you and I never stopped wishing for things to be different. I love you Justin and I will do my best to be here for Natalie and Kym. - love always Stephanie

Justin, you have been my life partner and have given me more than I ever could have imagined. Throughout all these years we have created and shared so many fond memories, had a lot of laughter, persevered through challenges and together we have always made it to the other side. You have influenced my life and have helped shape me to become the person I am today. I am grateful for the time we had together and for the strength, confidence and resilience you have instilled in me. You have always believed in me, and it´s your love and these gifts that you have given to me I need to rely on more than ever now and I promise to make you proud. You are my best friend, and you are a part of my soul. I miss you terribly, but I take comfort in knowing you are at peace, and I will see you again. Goodbye for now...I love you!! ~Kym
