Justin Michael Forgette

Justin Michael Forgette, age 40, beloved son, brother, uncle, and friend, passed away unexpectedly on Friday, April 18, 2025.

Born with a vibrant spirit and a generous heart, Justin had a passion for working with his hands and his heart. His hobbies included blacksmithing, fishing, and glassblowing, but his greatest love was cooking, where he found the most joy in creating and sharing meals with family and friends.

Justin’s kindness, creativity, and warmth will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him. His memory will continue to live on through the many lives he touched.

Justin was preceded in death by his mother, Sally Medina; his father, Theodore Forgette; his grandmother, Virginia (Nuna) Gilbert; his uncle, William (Uncle Bill) Hall; and his cousin, Chad Gilbert.

He is survived by his sister, Trisha Cordes, and her husband Rob; and his brother, Jr Narvaiz, and his wife Vanessa. He was a proud and loving uncle to his nieces and nephews: Donovan Cordes, Robby Cordes, Elizabeth Cordes, Drake Narvaiz, Lucas Narvaiz, Lunaya Narvaiz, and Kingston Narvaiz.

Justin is also survived by his Aunt Mary Krause and her husband Dan, his Uncle Mike Gilbert, and many dear cousins: Brian (Lisa), Eric (Judy), Danny, Garrett, Shawn, and Zach and all of their children. He shared a particularly special bond with his cousin, Chris Krause, and his special Aunt Kim Borysiak.
