Justin J Misley

Justin James Misley was born on December 4, 1969. He was the third son born to James and the late Esther Misley. Mrs. Misley always told her family that Justin was the first baby born after 10 years of trying to extend the Misley Family. She said that she loved him and squeezed him more than any baby in her life because of the decade heartbreaking years praying to extend the family without success. Justin's brothers the late Jimmy Misley and Jeff thought their Mom and Dad were buying them a Go Kart but instead they received a baby brother. Justin was full of life and constantly on the move with his childhood friends Brian Metcalf, Chuck and Larry Legg and many others. He also spent a lot of time teasing his younger sister Judy and her friends. The families aunts and uncles would comment to Mrs. Misley that Justin was a "live wire" because of his radiating energy which infected everyone around him. Everyone knew when Justin was around they were going to have a good time. Justin learned how to build and fix things from his Dad and older brothers at an early age. He loved to repair anything that was broken including dirt bikes and car engines. The family was not surprised when Justin wanted to attend auto mechanic classes his last few years in high school. He later turned his love of repairing engines into a plumbing career with Plumbers Local 55 for over 20 years. He even accomplished his life time goal of owning his own business Just In Time Plumbing for a few years. His logo was a super hero character and as Justin would joke... my character is "just in time to take your money" although Justin was one of the least expensive plumbers in the community. Justin was a loving son to his father Jim, giving brother to his brother Jimmy, Jeff and sister Judy, kind uncle to his nieces Christie, Alissa, Sarah, Kayla and nephew Jeff. He loved to play his drums especially with his friends. He was often filling in for different bands, performing at local bars. He also enjoyed fishing, riding his motorcycles and four wheelers on his property with his family or friends. He experienced several heartbreaking ups and downs in his personal life but over the past year found his girlfriend Pat Show. His family never saw Justin's eyes light up or broad bright smile until he met his current girlfriend. He would repeatedly tell his family "I love her and I have never been so happy!" Justin had a kind, giving heart and would offer to help anyone repair or build anything they needed. Several of his friends and family have benefited from his plumbing and carpenter skills. The characteristics Justin will be most remembered for was his ability to make people laugh and smile with his funny, charming personality, clean or dirty jokes and his ability to network people together and help those in need. His entertaining vocabulary of 4 letter words can not be forgotten. Everyone that the Misley family contacted after Justin's passing said the same comment "Justin was everyone's contact person for anything... you don't need the internet or phone book to get information on any subject.... if you called Justin you would get an answer to your problem, direct verbal advice or a truthful spanking....he would tell you to come over and he fix whatever you needed or he would contact the person you needed. Justin was the Human network. We will see him again and carry his memories with us.
