JUSTIN LYNN MCNAMEE of Rowlett, TX, passed away on April 18,
2014 in Dallas, TX, with burial at Restland Cemetery in the
Garden of Gethsemane.
Justin was born in Dallas to Glenda & J.L. McNamee on July 31,
1958. He attended Bryan Adams High School and went on to earn
a bachelor's degree from the University of Texas at Arlington.
He married Deena Kay Vick in 1989, and together they had 2
beautiful children, Sheridan & Bethany.
Justin was highly respected and considered a tremendous asset
by the companies and organizations in which he served.
He worked as a senior schedule analyst for the Raytheon Company
where he earned a reputation of integrity, dedication, and
teamwork. Throughout his career, Justin's colleagues and co-
workers benefited from his strong work ethic and commitment
to excellence.
He served many organizations as a tireless volunteer including
Highland Oaks Church of Christ, Garland Leadership Association,
Neighborhood Revitalization for the City of Rowlett Bond Committee,
Ride 2 Recovery, Medal of Honor Society, Congressman Pete Sessions,
Governor Rick Perry. Justin was appointed to the Texas Board of
Professional Geo-scientists by Governor Rick Perry in recognition
of his community service.
"Justin the Genius" was a nickname jokingly given by friends and
colleagues for his uncanny ability to fix anything. Whether cars,
motorcycles, computers, or building sets for children's theatre,
there was nothing he couldn't build or fix. He generously used his
skills, abilities, and talents to assist and improve the lives of
others.
Justin enjoyed the outdoors especially camping with his daughters
and friends on their annual camping weekend in East Texas. He
enjoyed fishing, running, cycling, NASCAR, and finding a "really
good deal" not just for himself but for friends and family.
He lived a life committed to family, church, and community. He
leaves a legacy of integrity, humility and a heart of service to
others. He will be lovingly remembered by friends and family as
a "good man"…a man who forever changed the hearts and lives of
those he touched.

McNamee; stepmother, Lillie McNamee; sister, Kim Moore and
