Justin Hugh Branch, age 40, of Missoula, passed away on Thursday, July 29, 2021. He was born on August 5, 1980 in Helena, Montana, to Steven J. and Cherol Rita Branch, but spent his childhood in Cut Bank Montana. He lived in many places in his early adulthood. Still, he found his permanent home in Missoula, Montana, closest to his family.
He always found a career as a carpenter, roofer, drywaller, among other trades, where it was quickly learned that he was suited to be a leader of men. His boisterous personality, wisdom, and wisecracks attracted many people, close friends, and new family alike.
He had a beautiful daughter, Harper Hugh Branch, with longtime friend and love Lynsie Tucker. He was nothing short of courageous, loyal, outgoing, and afraid of next to nothing. Being a father was his calling, and I had never seen him happier in his life than when he held his precious baby girl. Justin made quite an impression on everybody lucky enough to know him and will forever be in the hearts of many.
A celebration of life will be held at 1:30 p.m., on Friday, August 13, 2021, at Garden City Funeral Home.
By his loving brother, Travis Branch
