Bryan J. “Justin” Gould, age 43, of Jackson, passed away unexpectedly after a battle with cancer on Friday, March 28, 2025, at Ohio State Wexner Hospital in Columbus.  He was born July 23, 1981, to Christi (Picklesimer) Russell and the late Earl E. Gould.

Justin’s priorities were God, family, music and friends.  He loved to kayak; and he enjoyed Sunday dinners at his mom’s.  He loved being with his children, whom he was very proud of.  And he especially loved gatherings with his friends playing music. 

In addition to his father, he is preceded in death by his aunt, Sharon Hood; grandparents, Paul and Alverta (Horsley) Picklesimer, and grandfather, Earl “Shorty” Gould.
