Justin Neal Thompson, 45 of Ocklawaha, Florida passed away unexpectedly on Wednesday, June 5th, 2024. Justin was born April 16, 1979, in Daytona Beach Florida to Jerry Thompson and Cindy (Wilson) Gardiner. He was a graduate of Vanguard High School. He went on to become a business owner and jack of all trades. He met the love of his life, his Wyfe Danielle in 2002 in Upstate New York. They made their way back to Ocala, where they were married on October 30th, 2003. Justin and Danielle raised a beautiful family of 5 children together.

He is predeceased by his dad Mitchell Gardiner, father Jerry Thompson, father-in-law Eddie, and Grandparents.

Justin is survived by his Wyfe, Danielle of eleventy-seven years. Children: Madison, Haley, Zoie (Taylor), Tobee, and Trevor. Two grandsons Kingston and Lennox. Mother: Cindy Gardiner. Sisters: Elizabeth (Matthew) Friedman, Caitlin (Dion) Angle. A brother, nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, cousins and a whole lot of family he made along the way.

While he was the definition of a real life Florida man; Justin never met a stranger, had unmatched loyalty, and would give anyone the shirt off of his back. He loved so fiercely and unconditionally. There was no condiment he wouldn't use, gas station snack he wouldn't eat, and certainly no food he couldn't cook. Justin is an amazing, devoted husband, father, Sops and friend. His love for family, food, loud music, and shenanigans will live on through his friends and family forever.

Celebration of life is planned for 11 am on Saturday June 29, 2024, at Central Christian Church located at 3010 NE 14th St, Ocala, FL 34470 with Executive Pastor Dan Kuhn officiating. Light refreshments will be served after the service. In lieu of flowers we ask that donations be made in Justin's loving memory to Camp Boggy Creek 30500 Brantley Branch Road Eustis FL 32736.
