Justin Wayne Pacy, 47, Raymond, NH passed in his sleep on Saturday, November 8, 2025 due to ongoing health issues. His dog Tucker William was with him.

Justin is most known for being an amazing drummer, having been a member of bands like Gone for Days, Vegas Temper, Tiger Lily, Whiskey Tango and so many others. The All Night Thing and Project Jukebox shows were among the incredible projects he spearheaded organizing, passionately fundraising to charities he held near and dear to his heart. Those who knew him described him as being caring, good hearted, always helping his friends any way he could, and always with story that he somehow had a way of making even more hilarious than anything heard before. Justin was loved by so many people and was a personality larger than life!

Born in Shreveport, LA in 1977, he was raised in the Acton/Boxborough area of Massachusetts. He played baseball as a child and had a lifelong love of sports and UFC fights. He started playing drums on a Fisher Price toy drum set that his grandmother bought him at the age of 3. Music was his passion and played his drums with a passion many know him for. Justin also ran his own painting company, undertaking indoor and outdoor projects to perfection. Justin loved his duder dog Tucker William with all his heart.

Justin is sadly predeceased recently by his mother, Cheryl Pacy Nichols, his stepfather David G. Nichols, and his father Roger W. Hurtle, Grandfather Richard Pacy and step grandmother Bettie Noble. Heavy hearted were his last years

Left behind in sadness are his brother, James Nichols, Aunt Kim Pacy, Aunt Donna Pacy Hudson, Grandmother Myrna Simpson and her husband Ralph, and many extended family members and countless friends.

The Pacy/Nichols family will be planning burial as well as a Celebration of Life coinciding in the Spring of 2026. Details to come at a later date.
