Raymond, NH, Mourns the Loss of Justin Pacy: A Musician and Entrepreneur Gone Too Soon
The town of Raymond, New Hampshire is heartbroken following the untimely death of Justin W. Pacy, a beloved musician and entrepreneur, who passed away on November 10, 2025, after complications from congestive heart failure. Justin, 44, was known for his vibrant spirit, his love of music, and his determination to build something lasting—whether it was through his drumming or his businesses. His sudden loss has left a gaping hole in the hearts of family, friends, and fans across the globe.
Born in Acton, Massachusetts, Justin’s life was one of boundless creativity and passion. From an early age, he found his rhythm on the drums, and as he grew, so did his love for music. Whether playing with rock bands like Gone For Days or Craving Lucy, or performing for smaller, local crowds, Justin’s energy on stage was electrifying. His commitment to the art was reflected in every beat he played, leaving an indelible mark on everyone who had the privilege of seeing him perform.
Outside of music, Justin was also a thriving entrepreneur. As the CEO of Drum Kubbie and J. Pacy Quality Painting, he poured his heart and soul into his businesses, just as he did with his music. His passion for creating and building extended beyond the stage, as he worked tirelessly to establish himself as a respected figure in both the local and professional communities. But despite his many successes, those who knew him best remember him for his kindness, humor, and generosity.
A Talented Musician, A Loving Friend, A Creative Spirit

As a friend, Justin was always there—ready with a joke, an ear to listen, or a helping hand. His resilience was legendary, particularly when he faced his own personal struggles.
“He was more than a musician. He was a light in our lives,” said longtime friend and fellow musician Tommy Lynch. “He had this way of making people feel like they were the most important thing in the room. That’s what I’ll miss most about him. His presence.”
Justin’s unwavering dedication to his craft, his friends, and his family will remain his legacy. He was a lover of life, a dreamer, and an artist who didn’t just create music—he created bonds, stories, and memories that will never fade. His drumming was his language, and he spoke it fluently, communicating emotions in ways words could never capture.
