Spartanburg, SC – Justin Scott Melton, 34, passed away on October 13, 2025. Justin was son of Alvin and Cathy Jones Melton.
Justin attended LifeSong church where he grew his faith and love for Jesus. He was a lifelong sports enthusiast who had a deep love for South Carolina Gamecocks football and rarely missed a chance to cheer them on. He enjoyed watching wrestling, playing golf, and spending time with those he loved. From the age of four until sixteen, Justin played soccer, showing determination, team spirit, and a competitive edge that defined much of his life. He brought the same energy to every part of his life - whether on the field or among friends.
In addition to his parents, he is survived by his daughter, Rylee Melton; his sisters, Nicole Melton (Johnny Satterfield), Amanda Holtzclaw (Doug); and his niece and nephew, Olivia Holtzclaw and Jacob Holtzclaw.
A Celebration of Life will be held on Sunday, October 19, 2025 at 3:00 PM at Living Waters Funeral Home & Crematory; 529 Spartanburg Hwy S. Lyman SC 29365. The family will receive friends following the service.
