Justen Alan Hawks

In 2012, Justen met his “lady”, Autumn, and they married in 2016 at The Gate in Little Cottonwood Canyon. Justen was a loving, dedicated husband, and doting father to their two daughters, Misla and Ellie. He shared with them his love of music, photography, and the great outdoors. In recent years, Justen was very busy completing pharmacy school and establishing his career, but he always made time for his family. He was never too busy or tired to read Ellie a bedtime story, take Misla for sushi, or wash the dishes because he knew how much Autumn hated doing it. He was a teddy bear of a man. He gave the best hugs and snuggles, and every stress melted away when he was by your side. Justen was also so much fun. Any request his wife made was lovingly responded with a smile and “Whatever you want lady”, even if that request was having him dress as the bearded lady for a carnival themed Halloween. He built a climbing wall in his garage which served as a gathering place for friends and family. Everyone was welcome at his home, and he was always eager to share a new cocktail recipe, training routine, or photography doodad. He was so happy and often expressed how grateful he was for his wonderful life. He was so proud of his family, and he shared his love for them with everyone around him.

Justen was a Clinical Pharmacist at Intermountain Riverton Hospital. He attended Roseman University College of Pharmacy where he earned his Doctor of Pharmacy in 2021. He began his pharmacist career at Intermountain Medical Center, where he had recently completed a three-year internship. In 2022, he transferred to Intermountain Riverton Hospital, where he served in multiple positions, but was especially skilled in the Med/Surg and Emergency departments. Justen is known throughout Intermountain Healthcare for his kindness, patience, dedication, intelligence, and great sense of humor. And his beard. His breathtakingly beautiful beard.
