JUSTIN BRADLEY RICH  

August 30, 1977 – January 23, 2025 

It is with great sadness that the family of Justin Rich announces his passing on January 23, 2025. He was born in Freeport, Illinois on August 30, 1977. He was a 1995 graduate of Forreston High School and received his Journeyman’s Certificate for Carpentry in 2002. He was currently employed by Tovar Snow Professionals as their Senior Operations Manager. He was a very dedicated and hard-working employee.  

On August 12, 2012 he married Erin Huber at Faith United Methodist Church in Freeport. They had two children, Devan and Dreya. Justin had many titles in his life, but his favorite role was being a husband and father. He was a very involved and supportive father and loved his family with his whole heart. He was a loyal and devoted friend and co-worker and will be greatly missed by them all.  

He was an avid Minnesota Vikings and NASCAR fan. He was very proud of his many Vikings collectibles. He will be remembered for his dry sense of humor, his kindness and his willingness to help anyone. 

 He will be sadly missed by his parents, Paul and Doris White of Forreston, his wife, Erin, son Devan and daughter Dreya of Machesney Park. He is also survived by his mother and father-in-law Tom and Peg Huber of Freeport, brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law Adam (Sara) Huber of Madison, Wisconsin and Stacy (Chris) Biehl of Freeport, nieces and nephews Mackenzie Biehl, Zachary Biehl, Leia Huber, Jack Biehl, and Valerie Huber; and many loving aunts, uncles, and cousins. 

Justin gave the gift of life through organ donation. 

In lieu of flowers, a memorial fund is being established in his memory. 

A funeral service to honor Justin’s life will be held on Friday, January 31 at 11:00 a.m. at Faith United Methodist Church in Freeport. There will be a Visitation from 4:00 - 7:00 p.m. on Thursday, January 30 also at the church.
