Justin John Blasko

With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Justin John Blasko on July 20, 2025. Justin was 36 years old.

Justin was a man of many passions, but none greater than his love for his boys and his family and his deep-rooted connection to anything with an engine. A gifted mechanic, Justin could fix just about anything — and often did, not just for a living, but for friends, neighbors, or anyone who needed a hand. His love of cars was lifelong, and his knowledge and skill under the hood were matched only by the pride he took in helping others.

He is survived by his father, Andrew (Sue) Blasko; his mother, Jennifer (Dan) Eckerson; and his beloved children, Jaxon and Joshua, and their mother, Kristin Colocousis. He is also survived by his siblings: Ben (Nicole) Blasko, Evan (Kayley) Eckerson, Alexandra (Ryan) Eckerson and Cody Blasko. Justin leaves behind many aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews, and countless others who were touched by his life.

Justin was known for his huge heart, he was the kind of person who always showed up. If you needed help — whether it was a car that wouldn’t start or a shoulder to lean on — he was there, often without even being asked. He felt things deeply, loved fiercely, and though he had a big temper, his love always ran deeper.

He also had a mischievous spark — an unforgettable grin that could light up any room and let you know he was up to something. That smile, full of humor and heart, will be remembered by all who knew and loved him.
 
A Celebration of Life will be held from 1:00 to 4:00 PM on Saturday, August 2, 2025  at Ross Funeral Home of Akron, LLC., 10 Eckerson Avenue, Akron, NY 14001.

Justin's legacy will live on in the stories we share, the engines that still run because of his hands, and most of all, in the hearts of those who knew him. He will be dearly missed and never forgotten.
