Justin Martin Mendoza, 22, of Des Plaines, lived a life full of love that concluded on September 15, 2023. He was born on Sunday, December 10, 2000, to his beautiful family: his parents, Gordon and Erika, and his siblings, Kevin and Monica. Justin graduated from Maine West High School in 2019 and went on to pursue his passions as a mechanic, a motorcycle enthusiast, and a stand-up comedian.
In his too-short time on Earth, Justin had a vibrance about him that was felt by all who had the privilege to know him.
When thinking of Justin, his relentless smile, uplifting attitude, and sense of humor immediately come to mind. For Justin, helping others was as natural as breathing; he was a reliable source of aid, encouragement, and comfort. His absence is felt deeply by his community, but Justin leaves a legacy of happiness and laughter that warms all who remember him. Justin changed the lives of so many, and he will forever be missed.
Visitation will be Sunday, September 24, 2023 from 2:00 PM - 7:00 PM with the memorial service starting at 4:00 PM at Oehler Funeral Home, 2099 Miner St. Des Plaines, IL 60016.
