Justin "JB" Baxter

Justin “JB” Michael Baxter, 44, passed away on November 5, 2025, after a courageous battle with prostate cancer.

Born on September 20, 1981, Justin grew up in Battle Ground, Indiana, and graduated from Harrison High School in 2000. In recent years, he made his home in California, where he found joy and peace in the state’s beautiful landscapes. He loved fishing, camping, exploring trails, and spending time outdoors. Sports and nature were lifelong passions that brought him happiness and connection wherever he went.

Justin was known for his big heart and even bigger bear hugs — the kind that made you feel truly loved and safe. Those hugs, and the warmth behind them, will be deeply missed and forever remembered.

He is survived by his mother Linda Partner, father Mike Baxter, brother Tony (Michael Anthony) Baxter, and half-sister Marissa Baxter, along with his loving grandparents, and numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins who will cherish his memory.
