March 10, 2000 – April 6, 2025
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the sudden and unexpected passing of Justin Cissell at age 25. Justin was a beloved son, brother, grandson, and friend whose vibrant spirit and infectious enthusiasm touched the lives of everyone who knew him.
Justin brightened every room he walked into. Whether he was cheering on the Oilers, golfing, fishing, hunting, spending time with his lovely girlfriend Maggie, or hanging out with his many groups of friends, he made every moment fun and filled with laughter. He will always be remembered for his ability to make everyone laugh, even in the most difficult times, and his ability to bring people together. He had a special way about him that made everyone he met feel seen, heard, and loved.
Justin is lovingly remembered by his parents, Lana and Peter Cissell; his brother, Carter (Larissa); his grandparents, Bernard and Beatrice Cissell and Linda and Gerald Gatez. He was an incredible nephew to Blaine and Laura Gatez, Dwayne and Malou Taylor, Joan and Andrew Hillson, and Louise, and dear cousin to Emily (Austin), Madison (Taran), Colin (Megan), Sean (Natalya), Katherine, Sydney, and Madeline.
A Celebration of Justin’s Life will be held on Wednesday, April 16th at 2:00pm at the Crossfield Community Hall (900 Mountain Ave, Crossfield, AB). A livestream of the event will be available. Friends and family are invited to come together to honour his memory and share stories of the joy he brought into their lives. If you choose to make a donation, please consider Operation Eyesight and the Crossfield United Church. Messages of condolence for the family may be left and livestream details available at www.prairierosefunerals.ca
