Justin C Louras

Justin C. Louras RUTLAND — Justin Constantinos Louras, a left-handed, color-blind dyslexic of boundless creativity in all its forms, departed this universe during the first week of October 2023 at the age of 36 years. Justy suffered mightily from interminable grief at the loss of his brother Chris and his cousin Nick, and his grief ultimately overcame him. Justin’s brilliant and wry sense of humor, often quite dark, influenced his art and guided his life. More so, however, his existence was guided by his deeply kind soul. Justy forever put the needs and well-being of those whom he cared about before his own, even as his acts of kindness and support caused great pain and heartache to himself. Without Justin, our collective being will be less-than, this is the tragedy of his passing. He is survived by his pop Christopher and step-mom Jude, his brothers Ian and Augie, and his Grandmother Ruth Louras. Also surviving are his sister Hannah Lamarche, mother Crystal King, and Grandmother Mary King. He is predeceased by his big-brother Christopher G., cousin Nicholas R., and Grandfathers Constantinos “Gus” Louras and George King. Justin is also recently predeceased by his Godmother / Aunt “Becca” Frisch, with whom he shared a special bond.
