Justin Victor Lassabe, Sr. 77, of Pass Christian, passed away on March 27, 2014 peace¬fully in his sleep in Bay St. Louis, MS.
Justin was a life¬long resident of the Mississippi Gulf Coast. He served his country as a United States Marine. He served his com¬munity as a patrolman for the Pass Christian Police Department and a fireman. He worked as a machinist at Strutter-Wells and Bayou Steel. Later in life, he became a suc¬cessful commercial fisherman. However, his professional accomplishments pale in comparison to his personal accomplishments. Justin spent the entirety of his life as a devoted son, brother, father, grandfather, and friend. The world was a better place with Justin Lassabe in it.

“Off somewhere the music’s playing soft and low / And another holds the one that I love so / I was blind I could not see / that you meant the world to me / And like a fool I stood and watched you go / Now I’m crying my heart out over you / Those blue eyes now they smile at someone new / Ever since you went away, I die a little more each day / Cause I’m crying my heart out over you.” – Justin Lassabe c. 1956
