Justin Edward Ardito was born on May 9th, 1977 in New Haven Connecticut to his beloved parents Billy and Ellen Ardito. He was a huge sports fan (go Yankees!) and knows every heavy metal song ever written. When Justin was 19 years old he was involved in a horrible car accident that altered the course of his life. He went down a path of pain and addiction. In 2013 Justin was diagnosed with Brain cancer. He fought through treatments and went into remission. In the years following he continued to struggle with addiction and eventually found himself homeless in Indiana. That is where Jesus got ahold of him and changed his whole world. He found freedom from addiction and developed an amazing testimony for his Savior. He boldly told anyone and everyone who would listen his story of Christ’s redemption. In 2021 he met and married his wife Kim. He became the most amazing “stepped up” dad to his two daughters. In late 2021 Justin’s cancer came back with a vengeance. Justin held tight to Jesus through every twist and turn of his cancer journey and on July 9th he took the ultimate victory against cancer when Jesus called him home to heaven. He is survived by his “boobear”/wife Kim and his two daughters, Tatum and Kayla. He is preceded in death by his mom Ellen Ardito and his father Billy Ardito.
