Justin Edward Cimba

Justin E. Cimba died unexpectedly on March 22nd 2025 at his residence outside of New Orleans, LA. Born November 17th 1980, he was only 44 at the time of his passing.

Cimba was a talented musician, artist, writer, and all around creative. He dedicated his life to building community wherever it could be found. From the bands and gaming groups he played in, to the homes and third spaces he existed in. He reminded us to enjoy life and to never take it too seriously.

Three memorials were held in his honor, retracing the steps of his life. From the queer inclusive gaming communities of New Orleans and Louisiana, to the dimly lit venues and urban backyards of Pittsburgh, and back to the one of a kind family (both birth and chosen) of Johnstown, Pennsylvania.

Justin Cimba will be missed but never forgotten. His memory lives on with countless friends and family.
