Justin Kinzler

Justin Aron Kinzler, 30, departed this earthly world on September 23, 2014, as a result of injuries sustained in an automobile accident near Wheatland, Wyoming.

Justin was born on May 24, 1984, to Larry and Susan (Chruscielski) Kinzler in Fargo, ND. Justin spent his early childhood in Fargo before his family moved to Glyndon, MN, in 1994, where he attended DGF High School.

In 2003 Justin started working at the Fryn' Pan in Fargo where he met Jessica Marts. That summer, the two fell in love and ultimately married on February 12, 2011. They made their first home in Fargo.

He rekindled his love for the kitchen in 2006 by taking a job as a broil cook at Texas Roadhouse. He quickly advanced into a kitchen manager position. He was awarded Kitchen Manager of the Quarter several times for his market, and in 2011, he was a Kitchen Manager of the Year finalist for the whole company.

Outside of work, Justin enjoyed a rich life full of friends and family, which are terms that would quickly blur into each other. He was instantly loved by everyone he met, with his big grin and irresistible laugh. Justin was fun-loving, always enjoying new people and new adventures. It was not unusual for him to burst out into song or dance at a moment's notice. Justin's adventurous spirit was fed by his love for his motorcycle, and on his 30th birthday, he got to skydive as a surprise present from his wife.

At home, Justin loved spending time with Jessica and the rest of his family and friends. He especially loved cooking, game nights and bonfires in the backyard. He also loved spending time with his three nieces. He would build forts, make homemade treats, and often forget his age. His girls meant the world to him.

Although Justin left this world too soon, it was not without leaving a mark on our hearts and in our lives. He was a great example of how to live, truly fearless in life and in love.

Justin is survived by his wife, Jessica Kinzler; parents, Larry and Susan Kinzler; sister, Jamie Kinzler; brother, Cody Miller; nieces, Lily and Aubrey Kinzler, and Vienna Marts; grandmother, Peggy "Margaret" Chruscielski; parents-in-law, Donna and Steve Marts; sisters-in-law, Jennie and Sarah Marts; and his Chihuahua, Carmen.

Visitation for Justin will be Thursday from 5 to 7 PM with a prayer service at 7 PM in St. Joseph Catholic Church, Moorhead. Funeral mass will be Friday, Oct. 3, 2014, at 10:30 AM in St. Joseph Catholic Church, 218 10th Street South, Moorhead.
