In Loving Memory of Justin Cataldo
1976 - 2026
In loving memory, we celebrate the life of Justin Cataldo, cherished father, partner, son, brother, uncle, and friend, whose journey came to an end on May 15, 2026, surrounded by family after a courageous battle. Born on January 8, 1976, in Ann Arbor, Michigan, Justin lived a life filled with love, laughter, and an unwavering spirit that touched everyone he met.
From an early age, Justin demonstrated a unique ability to make others feel at ease, a gift he carried with him throughout his life. A graduate of Northville High School’s Class of 1994, he was a talented athlete and standout football player. His educational journey later led him to Life University, where he pursued his passion for helping others by becoming a chiropractor. Later in his career, he ventured into sales, where his natural charisma and genuine support for others made him a beloved colleague and friend. His confidence, humor, and warmth drew people to him wherever he went.
Justin loved the outdoors and lived for adventure. He found joy in snowmobiling, skiing, and deep-sea fishing, embracing every opportunity to be out in the world doing what made him feel alive. Yet as much as he loved the thrill of adventure, he loved the people around him even more. Some of his happiest moments were the simplest ones — sharing a beer with family and friends, laughing, telling stories, and enjoying each other’s company.
His greatest pride was his family. Justin was the beloved son of James and Toni Cataldo. He leaves behind his devoted partner, Stacy Whelan, and their son, Vincent, as well as his son, Jack. His loving spirit also remains with his sister, Stacy Heath; her husband, Chip Heath; and their daughters, Kiley and Madison. Justin’s aunts, uncles, cousins, and many close friends will continue to carry his memory in their hearts.
To know Justin was to love him. He made people feel welcome, comfortable, and truly seen. He brought laughter into every room, courage into every challenge, and heart into every relationship. He overcame more than most people ever knew and became a man worthy of admiration, pride, and lasting love.
A service to honor Justin’s life will be held on Saturday, June 27, 2026, at 12:00 p.m. at Timber Greens Golf and Country Club, 6333 Timber Greens Blvd., New Port Richey, FL 34655. All who knew and loved him are welcome to join in celebrating a life well lived.
In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that donations be made to Gulfside Hospice in appreciation of the compassion and care they provided during Justin’s final days.
