Justin Louis Stagg

Justin Louis Stagg unexpectedly passed away on January 8, 2026, at the age of 43 years old in Farmington, New Mexico. Prior to living in New Mexico, he was a resident of St. Amant, Louisiana while working in Baton Rouge, LA.

Justin graduated from Lafayette High School in 2001. He had briefly attended University of Louisiana at Lafayette when life events led him to North Carolina. He then graduated with an associate degree in Business Administration from Catawba Valley Community College in Hickory, NC. Justin then returned to Lafayette and shortly after went to work in the Baton Rouge area. While in Baton Rouge his ultimate passion was working at Richard Honda in professional sales. Justin had a passion for life and living every day to the fullest. He always had many friends and looked forward to each new day.

He moved to Farmington on November 7, 2025, and was settling in and working two jobs, joined a gym, and made new friends. His interests and hobbies were golfing and bowling with friends. He would join friends to watch televised WEF fights. He enjoyed watching NFL football with his step-father and liked working with him in the yard. His favorite thing to do when he moved to Farmington was cooking meals and sharing with his mom and step-dad. He enjoyed cooking so much he would hum while he cooked.

Justin is survived by Thomas L. Stagg, father, Karen Leger Karabin, mother, Dr. Jerry Karabin, step-father, and Spencer Daniel Stagg, brother. Also surviving are his paternal uncles, Michael Stagg, Billy Stagg (Lori), John Stagg (Jackie) and paternal aunt Cathy Stagg Steele. On the maternal side he is survived by two uncles Larry Leger and Glynn Leger, (Jeri) and his aunt Peggy Leger Vidrine. He is also survived by numerous paternal and maternal cousins. He is preceded in death by paternal grandparents George Ray and Irene Stagg and paternal aunt Deborah Stagg. On his maternal side preceded in death were his grandparents Alton and Martha Leger and Aunt Martha Jane Leger and his Uncle Richard Leger. Also, preceding him in death were Myron and Stefania Karabin, step-grandparents. Justin was also blessed to have known his paternal great-grandparents Louis D. and Aline Andrepont Lafond.

Justin will be missed and remembered in our hearts each day. We grieve Justin tremendously because of the amount of love we had for him and feel blessed for each day we had him in our lives. As he would always say, "Live life to the fullest mom"!
