JUSTIN KEATON-WARTENBE
IDAHO FALLS, ID -- Justin Lawney Keaton-Wartenbe, 36, of Idaho Falls, died May 5, 2008, at his home.
He was born February 18, 1972, in Pocatello, Idaho. He grew up and attended schools in Pocatello and later moved to in Burley where he attended Burley High School.
Justin's dream in life was to be a rock n' roll star. He was a gifted guitarist, song composer, and singer and had a great love of music. Justin was so awe-inspiring to others when he played acoustic or electric guitar and everyone seeing him truly saw him as a star.
Justin will be cherished and remembered in our hearts forever. We truly have the promise that we will all be reunited once again.
Survivors include his mother, Annie Daughtry; his father, Jay Keaton; the father who raised him, Lawney Wartenbe; his brother, Jentry; and his sister, Destiny. He was preceded in death by his grandparents; William I. Daughtry, Lillian Keaton, Leah and LeRoy Ekiss, and Dorothy and Jack Wartenbe.
A Salute to Justin will be held at 4:00 p.m. on Saturday, May 17, 2008, at Ross Park (lower level) in Pocatello. Signs will be posted with directions. Any family or friends who knew Justin are welcome to attend. If you have questions, you may contact the family at 223-0244 or 629-9292.

Praying for Justin's family. I have wonderful memories of Justin. We attended grade school together in Pocatello. Wish I could have been around him to hear his music. God Bless
