Justin Aaron Franco Jr.'s Obituary
Justin Aaron Franco Jr went to be with Jesus and his angels on June 26, 2022. Justin was born on January 24, 2022, to his loving parents Justin and Madison Franco. During his short 5-month son Earth, Justin had already touched so many lives. He was loved and adored by everyone in his family, friends, and anyone who got to meet him and see a glimpse of heaven through his smile. J loved to smile. J had what his family described as a “silent laugh”. No sound would come out, but he had the biggest grin while squinching up his nose, and he would light up inside. Everyone knew he was going to belly laugh when it finally happened.
Some of J’s favorite things were spending time with his family. He loved to watch Barney at Grammy’s house and to spend mornings listening to Grandpa sing the “Good morning song”. Another love of J’s was listening to his Mommy sing “Bushel and a Peck”. He would kick his feet when she called him her little “PEEKY”. J spent most of his days being spoiled and loved on by his whole family. If he wasn’t at home listening to his favorite bunny sing, then he was at the baseball fields cheering on his cousins.
Those left to cherish his memory are his parents, Justin and Madison Franco, grandparents Jason Franco, Ruth Jimenez, Robert and Leslie Blake, great-grandmother Jovita Aguilar, and great-grandfather Papa Bob Frassato. Uncles Robert Dominguez, Joshua Fuentes, aunts Tiffany Brown (Adam), Chelsey Hackler (Matthew). Cousins Mason, Charlee, Teagan, Justice Bradburry, A.J. Brown, and many more cousins.
