Justin C. Hay, 40, passed away on Monday, November 10, 2025 at his home. A lifelong resident of South Bend, Justin was born on June 1, 1985 and is survived by his mother, Karen (Dan Verduine) Hay; daughter, Danielle Flores; sister, Jami (Craig) Redman; and brothers, James Hay, Jr., Skylar Hay, and Ian Hay. In addition to his family, he is survived by his loving friend, Alicia Flores, and several close-knit friends and homies.
Justin worked for many years at Express Press where he was promoted to a managerial position, and also worked as a DJ, known as Kid Lemon Fresh. Justin took great pride in his karate training, having obtained a third-degree black belt and becoming a sensei with Suibukan of Indiana. In his free time, he enjoyed camping and watching movies, especially Marvel or Star Wars. He cherished the time he spent with his daughter, and looked forward to his weekly boys night with his friends.
Visitation for Justin will be held on Sunday, November 16, 2025 from 1-4 PM at Palmer Funeral Home-Welsheimer Chapel, 17033 Cleveland Rd., South Bend, with cremation to follow.
