HERMON, MAINE — It is with profound sadness that family, friends, and the greater Bangor community mourn the heartbreaking loss of Justin Rodgerson, a devoted husband, loving father, and cherished friend who passed away far too soon. Justin’s life was a testament to love, faith, and dedication — values that defined him and continue to inspire all who knew him.
Born and raised in Winterport, Maine, Justin attended Hampden Academy, where his bright spirit and easygoing personality left a lasting impression on teachers and classmates alike. He later built a beautiful life in Hermon, Maine, alongside his beloved wife, Kristen Rodgerson. Together, they were raising two wonderful sons, Knox and Blake, and eagerly preparing to welcome a baby on the way — a child who will forever carry his father’s love and strength.
A Devoted Husband and Father
Justin was a man whose world revolved around his family. To his wife Kristen, he was not only a partner but a best friend — a man whose kindness, laughter, and unwavering faith made their home a place of joy and comfort. To his sons, he was a hero — the kind of father who always made time for bedtime stories, backyard games, and endless encouragement. He found true happiness in life’s simplest moments: holding his children close, sharing a meal with loved ones, or working on projects that reflected his craftsmanship and care.
A Man of Faith and Integrity
Those who knew Justin best describe him as a man grounded in faith, humility, and love for others. His belief in God guided every decision he made and gave him strength through life’s challenges. Whether he was helping a friend in need, volunteering in his community, or simply offering a word of encouragement, Justin lived out his values every day.
A Community United in Grief
The news of Justin’s passing has deeply shaken the Hermon and Bangor communities, where he was known for his warmth, generosity, and quiet strength. In this time of unimaginable loss, friends and neighbors have come together to support Kristen and the children, providing comfort, prayers, and financial assistance as they face the difficult days ahead.
A community fundraiser has been organized to help the family with expenses and to honor Justin’s enduring legacy of love and selflessness. His passing is a reminder of how fragile life can be — and how powerful love remains even in the face of loss.
Forever Remembered
Though his time on earth was far too short, Justin’s impact will be everlasting. His laughter, kindness, and unwavering devotion to his family will continue to live on in the hearts of those he leaves behind. He will be remembered not only for the love he gave but for the faith he shared and the countless lives he touched along the way.
In loving memory of Justin Rodgerson — a husband, father, son, brother, and friend whose light will never fade. May his soul rest in eternal peace, and may his family find comfort in the love and prayers surrounding them.
