Justin Patrick Kuntz, 18, of Rochester, died peacefully on Sunday (February 26, 2012) at home after his long battle with cancer surrounded by his loving family and his faithful dog and cat.

The Memorial Service for Justin will be held at 12:00 noon on Saturday, March 3, 2012 in the River Park Chapel at Macken Funeral Home with the Rev. Paul Nelson officiating with a luncheon to follow.  Visitation will be held from 11:00 am to 12:00 pm on Saturday prior to the service.

Justin was born in Rochester, Minnesota on June 26, 1993 to Mike and Sheri Kuntz. He attended Aldrich, Golden Hill, Gage, John Adams and John Marshall public schools in Rochester.

From an early age, Justin made an impression on all those he met due to his infectious smile. He lived his whole life in Rochester, but he loved to travel and was able to visit many states during his lifetime. He became a dedicated fan of movies, especially superhero movies, and spent much of his life in a darkened theater watching them.

Justin was an avid collector of action figures and was one of this town's biggest movie buffs. His favorite superhero and superhero movie is Spider-Man and he had the good fortune of meeting Spider-Man in Florida as a last wish.

Those left to live life for Justin include, his mother, Sheri and father, Michael, his grandparents Rick and Bea Casper, his grandmother Josephine Kuntz, his nine aunts and uncles and his many cousins and second cousins.

Justin was preceded in death by his grandfathers Edgar Kuntz and Virgil Gifford and his uncle Rod Casper.
