The late Justin Deleon, fondly known as JT, was a cherished resident of Brownfield, Texas. His sudden departure on June 1, 2024, has left his family and community heartbroken. Justin’s partner, Desiree Martinez, has started a GoFundMe campaign to cover his memorial costs, with a goal of raising $11,000. This tragic event coincides with what would have been Justin’s birthday, making the loss even more poignant for his loved ones.
Desiree shared her sorrow and the profound impact Justin’s passing has had on their family. "Never have I ever thought I would be in this situation. I myself and kids are heartbroken," she wrote. They had been together for 14 years and shared four children: Deza’nya, Mateo, Elisa, and Trustin. Justin was a devoted family man, known for his loving and kind-hearted nature. He had a passion for making music and loved cooking for his family.
Desiree’s heartfelt message on the fundraiser page reflects the deep void Justin’s absence has created. "We LOVE YOU! We MISS YOU JUSTIN! These days are going slow & now. Today is your birthday. This makes us all even more saddened! We are not the same without you! You are our missing puzzle of six," she expressed, highlighting the emotional struggle they face daily.
Justin was well-respected in the community, always with a big smile on his face and a protective nature towards his loved ones. His passing has prompted an outpouring of support from friends and family. Joshua Thornton, a friend, shared his grief on Facebook, stating, "Another Good Man Gone RIP Justin Deleon YOU WILL BE MISSED!"
Desiree’s fundraiser is a call to action for support and prayers. "Being a mom all alone is not easy… My kids need your love, your hugs… We need all the prayers and support!" she pleaded, emphasizing the difficulty of facing life without her partner. The community’s response to this plea will not only help cover the funeral costs but also provide emotional support to a grieving family trying to navigate this devastating loss.
