Obituary

Justin Farrar Scheller, 64, beloved spouse, father, son, brother, and uncle, was called to his eternal resting place on September 23, 2024. He passed away peacefully in his sleep.

He was born on September 30, 1959, in Arcadia, CA. An eighth generation Californio, Justin was proud of his family's unique history, sharing about and attending many events at the Dominguez Rancho Adobe. He grew up in Long Beach, CA and spent his childhood on the beach. He spent a lot of his summers at the Fourth of July Yacht Club on Catalina Island. He graduated Wilson High School in 1977 and made many lifelong friendships in high school and college. He went to Brooks Institute in Santa Barbara and received his BA degree in Professional Photography in 1987. He was hired on at Honda R&D after graduation and had a 30-year career as an in-house Photographer/Videographer. He lived in San Juan Capistrano and most recently in Washoe Valley, NV.

He met the love of his life Jeannette Jones in 1977 at a ski club party. They were married at the Dominguez Chapel in 1985. They had two wonderful sons, Ryan and Carson. He spent time with the boys growing up in the Boy Scouts and Indian Guides (Trail Mix). They traveled together over the years and had some special trips to South Africa, Japan, Europe, BVI and Alaska.

Justin had so many hobbies, especially after he retired in 2017. He enjoyed photography, skiing, surfing, paddleboarding, kayaking, boating, fishing, RC cars and airplanes, gun range, and most recently trail riding with his amazing horse Koda. He loved the riding groups he joined and was most recently with his Los Caballeros riding group on Catalina Island the day before he passed.

Justin was preceded in death by his parents Edward and Audrey Scheller. He is survived by his cherished wife, Jeannette Scheller, and sons Ryan Charles and Carson Patrick; siblings Lesley Scheller, Carson (Sherry) Scheller, Scott (Jodie) Scheller, Hillary (Steve) Ladin, nieces and nephew, and a great-niece and nephew.

A celebration of life will be at a later date.
