Justin Vargas Obituary

It is with great sadness that we lost our beloved son, Justin, of Rutland, who died unexpectedly on Wednesday, February 17, 2016, from a head injury sustained as a result from a fall. He was born on January 20, 1981. Justin was an avid lover of nature and found comfort being out in the woods with his dog, Copper. He was a talented local chef who brought a lot of creativity to his work and life.
He is survived by his parents, Neal and Donna Vargas; his grandmother, Barbara Burdett; and a large extended family.
Friends and family are invited to come together and share cherished memories of his life on Saturday, February 27, 2016, from 1-3 p.m. at the Aldous Funeral Home, 44 North Main Street, Rutland, Vermont.
In lieu of flowers, Donna and Neal request that contributions be made to the Rutland County Humane Society Inc., 765 Stevens Road, Pittsford, VT 05763.
