HAMPSTEAD — Justin Page Grissom, 36, of Hampstead, NC passed away January 30, 2024, to fish on heaven’s shores. He was born February 12, 1987, in Wilmington, NC.
He leaves behind his son Dallas Grissom, Mother Valerie Grissom, Father Tex Grissom, Nana Dorothy Watson, Aunt Dee Ivey, and first cousin Kaylee Sellars. Justin was a graduate of Topsail High School and former employee of his father’s shop, Tex’s Tackle, before starting his own business, Grissom’s tree and tractor service.
Justin will always be remembered for his kindness, unselfishness and giving heart. He’d always lend a hand to anyone and never met a stranger in his life. He was a proud southern boy who could always be found riding dirt bikes or four wheelers down country roads, fishing for catfish in the river or drum in the surf, and hunting with his dad, Tex, and son, Dallas, who he was extremely proud of.
He loved nature and the simple things in life like the dandelions he picked for his mother Valerie since childhood, walks in the woods, cookouts with family and friends while playing horseshoes, and throwing the cast net out with his son.
The next time you are fishing and having a cold beer or taking a boat ride, remember Justin.
Service will be announced at a later time. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation in Justin’s memory to a local animal shelter.
