Justino Jesus Pascual Bautista, a man of boundless love and generosity, passed away peacefully on December 26, 2024, in Dothan, Alabama. Born on January 1, 1966, in Mexico, Justino’s life was a testament to the enduring spirit of hard work, family devotion, and the simple joys that life offers.
A Celebration of Justino’s life will be held at 3 P.M. Sunday, January 5, 2025, at Ward Wilson Funeral Home Chapel.
Justino was a man who built his life with the strength of his hands and the warmth of his heart. His dedication to his work was matched only by his passion for life’s simple pleasures. He found solace in the tranquility of fishing, the satisfaction of tending to his garden, and the joy of caring for his cherished chickens. His grandbabies were the light of his life, and he cherished every moment spent with them.
A lover of wrestling, Justino also found escape in the action-packed world of kung fu movies. His laughter would fill the room as he enjoyed these cinematic adventures. Cooking was another of his many talents, and he often shared this gift with those he loved, creating meals that were as generous and hearty as his personality.
Justino’s love for music was infectious, and his taste was as eclectic as his interests. He could often be found humming a tune or sharing a song that had touched his heart. This love for melody and rhythm was yet another way he connected with those around him.
He leaves behind a legacy of love and kindness, survived by his loving partner of 25 years, Paula Lindsey; his devoted mother, Marcelina Pascual Zamora; his cherished children, Estella Pascual (Ryan), Ashley Lindsey (Roberto), Nikki Lindsey (Edward), Justino Jesus Pascual Bautista II, and Criscensio Pascual Bautista (Hannah); his adored nine grandchildren; and his siblings, Tomas, David, Santiago, Maximino, Abril, and Bibina Pascual. Justino was preceded in death by his father, Margarito Hernandez; brother, Criscensio Hernandez; and aunt, Modesta Marina Pascual Zomora.
Justino’s passion for life and his unwavering spirit will be deeply missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing him. His legacy will live on through the stories shared by his family, the memories cherished by his friends, and the lives he touched with his generous heart. He was a beacon of love and strength, and his memory will continue to inspire those who were fortunate enough to have been a part of his life.
