Justin Jermiah Ford's Obituary
Justin Jermiah Ford Entered this life on December 2, 1983 and departed August 9, 2022. He was born in El Paso, Texas to his deceased mother Gloria Andrews Ford RN and his living father Rev. Dr Kaiser Ford.
He was preceded in death by his loving baby boy Alijah Jordan Ford in January of 2009. He was past employed by Walmart, however at the time of his death he was employed at IHOP (International House of Pancakes) as a manager/server for 10 years, a job he loved dearly. His personality was one of never meeting a stranger. He was kind, loving, generous and loved to laugh and make others laugh. He was gifted to sing and most of all he loved his children to no end.
When his health started to fail, he refused to stop working and insisted that he would not give up. He endured many struggles in his lifetime, however he acknowledged that many were the result of his own actions and took responsibility for them. During his last days on this earth, he was very apologetic for the mistakes he made in life. This is the kind of person he was. About two weeks before his departure he stated he was born again which ensured he would be going to be with the Lord and his departed loved ones.
Yesterday he was here and today he is gone, seems like a dream. However, reality has a way of getting our attention to make us know just how fragile life is and that we are just passing through. We did not come here to stay. If he were here, he would say love one another, mend relationships and value family. Most of all, look to God for the salvation of your souls.
He leaves to mourn a wife Jocelyn Castaneda Ford, her daughter Alexis Willis, Justin J. Ford Jr, Haven Ford and Izayah Ford. His Mother-in-law Robin and Mr. Jose Coss whom Justin regarded as being like a father to him. Other in-laws. His siblings Raye Smith, Tanen (Bernie)-Tamica, Tanisha (Jonathan) and Jason (Kraola). Finally, a special niece who was like a sister to him Khia Ford, Jasmine and Jalen Smith, Kairon and Kameron Ford and Kaiser III and a host of other relatives
