Justin James Ward, age 10, of Jackson Township, passed away unexpectedly on March 12, 2019. He was born on June 17, 2008 in Canton, Ohio to Justin Ryan Ward and Joanna Rae (Tarry) Ward.
James was an outgoing, ambitious, smart and athletic boy. He excelled in sports, especially at lacrosse, basketball, and football. Whenever he talked about his athletic ability, he would describe himself as being “savage” which was sure to put a smile on anyone’s face.
When James wasn’t playing sports, he was perfecting his skills playing Fortnite and making sure everyone knew he was no longer a “newb”.
He was also an amazing big brother and protector of his younger siblings. He was very supportive when it came to his family, especially his mom and dad.
With his contagious laugh and his ability to light up the room, James was a true ring leader.
