Kermit Mark Justice

January 27, 1970 - January 2, 2021

Kermit Mark Justice, age 50, passed away suddenly on Saturday, January 2, 2021 at his home in Wilmington, Delaware. Born January 27, 1970, he was son to the late Kermit Justice and Rita Justice also of Wilmington, Delaware. Kermit, “KJ”, graduated from Wilmington Friends School. He was an amazing athlete in many sports, such as football, basketball, soccer, and bowling. He was a Delaware All-State football player and played in the Delaware Blue/Gold Game in 1988. Kermit was the son of professional and champion bowler Rita Justice. We can’t even begin to write all the accomplishments KJ had in bowling. He had many 300 games and 800 series, but one of his biggest accomplishments was being featured in Sports Illustrated as the youngest bowler to bowl a 600 series at 9 years old in 1979. KJ was incredibly charismatic and had an infectious smile. He never knew a stranger and will be truly missed. KJ is survived by his mother, Rita Justice; his brother: Kevin Justice and wife Terri, and their children Kevin Michael and Katherine; KJ’s sister: Kimberly Justice-Bowers, husband Robert, and children Vincent, Anna, Brandon, Dylan, and Alexis; KJ’s significant other, Carrie Brown; and many aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, a private family viewing will be held. A celebration of life service will take place at a date to be determined. In lieu of flowers, donations are suggested to the Vincent Tambourelli Family Assistance Fund, 2 South Augustine St., Newport, DE 19804 or FirmFoundationRecovery.org To send an online condolence please visit www.stranofeeley.com SERVICE UPDATE: A visitation will be held Monday, June 28, 2021, from 11-12 Noon at Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic Church, 1000 Shipley Rd, Wilmington, DE 19803 followed by a Memorial Mass at 12 Noon.
