October 21, 2025
Justin M. Oberholtzer, 42, of Lititz, passed away peacefully on October 21, 2025, after a courageous seven-year battle with ALS. He was the devoted husband of Lori Oberholtzer, loving father of Talia and Ben, beloved son of Donovan and Carol Oberholtzer, dear brother of Jana MacKay and friend to many.
A graduate of Warwick High School, Justin went on to attend James Madison University, where he earned his BA in Finance and served as emcee for Cru. After graduation, he began a successful career as a Realtor with Keller Williams. In time, Justin and Lori combined their creativity and entrepreneurial spirits to found Plumb & Fig, a home renovation and interior design business.
Justin’s love of adventure led him to travel and backpack around the world. Known for his spontaneity, he was always ready for a last-minute trip or family outing. With a witty sense of humor and an unwavering faith in Jesus, Justin inspired everyone who knew him. To Lori, Talia, and Ben, he was more than a husband and dad- he was their superhero.
A lifelong athlete, Justin loved soccer, fastpacking, and working out. He and Lori were deeply involved in their church and community, where he continued to grow in his passion for discipleship and his understanding of God’s Word.
Justin’s story will be told by many including his wife of 12 years, Lori, his beloved children, Talia and Ben; his parents, Don and Carol Oberholtzer; his sister, Jana MacKay, wife of James; and his grandfather, Jay Oberholtzer. He was preceded in death by his grandparents, David and Esther Weaver, and Rhoda Oberholtzer.

I knew Justin through the KW family. He was the sweetest young man and always had a smile. My heart breaks for Lori and their children and my hope is God will carry them through this difficult time. God was ready for Justin and we must appreciate His goodness. Joan Schwebel
