Mr. Wellington Justice, Jr.

Wellington “Well” Justice was born on January 1, 1955, to the late Willie and Mary Justice in Jefferson, Texas. Mr. Justice was a 1974 graduate of Central High School of Jefferson, Texas. He was employed by T. J. Blackburn Syrup for over 25 years. He later was employed by Sunoco for over 20 years before he retired.

Wellington was well known for always having a smile on his face. He was kind, generous and always made each person he encountered laugh. He was a great fan of the great outdoors and a “gamer”. Some of his hobbies include, fishing, hunting, working on his “1000 piece” Big Ben puzzles and his famous Candy Crush. Although he watched many sports, he most loved watching and cheering on his #1 team, the Dallas Cowboys.

Wellington peacefully departed this life on May 31, 2021. He was preceded in death by his parents; three brothers, Sylvester, Joe and Davis Justice; and two sisters, Erma Smith and Simmie Webb.
