Obituary of Justin Tyler Federici

Justin Tyler Federici was born February 6, 1998 and entered into eternal rest on January 31, 2023. He joins his grandparents, Phillip and Michelina Federici, and his aunt, Maria “Re Re” Jamison. Justin leaves behind his loving parents, Michael and Sharon Federici, his brothers, Kyle and Christian Federici, his grandmother, Cynthia Axson, his aunts, his uncles, Philip & Gloria Federici, Thomas Federici, Danny Jamison, Jabraun Axson, Jamie & Sophia Axson, and many cousins. He will be deeply missed by the love of his life, girlfriend, Kelly Flanagan, his best friend, Luc Salomoni, and Christian’s girlfriend, Brianna Collins. We are so grateful for Kelly's family, especially her mother, Dianna Ducati, sister, Sharon Ducati, and others for accepting Justin into their Arizona family.

Justin was an extreme car enthusiast, who loved the outdoors, especially hiking in the mountains of Phoenix. He was an encyclopedia of car facts. He loved animals, especially his cats Roger, Riley and Ophelia. He specifically loved big cats, like lions & tigers, and he LOVED crocodiles. Justin was a graduate of St. Andrew school in Bridgeport and Notre Dame high school in Fairfield. He graduated Magna Cum Laude at Arizona State University in May 2020, and was enrolled in a Human Resources MBA program at LSU. He had a 4.0 GPA, we are so proud of him. Justin was so excited to start his new job as a Human Resource Business Partner at Goodwill in Phoenix. He made a giant impact in such a short time with them. Known for his height, you couldn’t miss him in the room even if you tried. His smile was so wide and bright, it’s like he could make the sun shine at night. He was the funniest goofball any of us have ever had the pleasure to know and love. Justin was also known for his gigantic loving heart, he was the true definition of an empath. It didn’t matter who you were, what you looked like, or where you came from... if he could help you, he would. He was the most compassionate person, and always willing to help others. Justin will be deeply missed by his family and friends.
