Obituary of Justin Roovers

Roovers, Justin - April 19, 1985 - August 30, 2014. It is with deep sadness that we announce Justin has lost his battle with mental illness. He was a beloved son, brother, uncle, nephew, cousin and friend. Survived by his loving mother Christine, siblings Jordan and Miranda, sister-in-law Teri and nephew Mason, and by the Prendergast family. Pre-deceased by his father Paul. Justin was actively involved in sporting, nature and environmental pursuits since a young age. His drive for higher learning and empathy for others led him to attain a diploma in Respiratory Therapy. As anyone who knew him can attest to, Justin was a genuine character who never shied away from a good time. He was exuberant, caring and thoughtful, and he will be tremendously missed by many.
