Justin Baren Obituary

Justin was a founding member of The Redwalls, a Chicago-based rock band known for its retro sound and soaring harmonies. As a singer, songwriter, and bass guitarist, he brought unmistakable energy and personality to every performance. Audiences connected with his presence onstage and his deep love for music. Formed with his brother Logan while they were still in high school, The Redwalls quickly grew from a British-Invasion-inspired cover band to an internationally recognized touring act.

Music remained central throughout Justin's life. He continued to write, record, and collaborate, and had recently been working to bring previously unheard recordings to release. His passion, creativity, and generous spirit will be remembered by his family, his bandmates, and the countless fans
whose lives he touched.


Justin is survived by his beloved parents Martin Baren and Ann Kapp. Loving brother Logan Baren. Devoted aunts Judy (Jerry) Rothfeld and Debbie (Michael Green) Baren. Fond cousins Courtney Mcallister and Bari Spurgeon. Graveside services Tuesday 12 Noon at Zion Gardens Cemetery, 6758 West Addison, Chicago, IL. In lieu of flowers remembrances to your preferred charity would be appreciated.  Arrangement entrusted to Ner Tamid Funerals, 847-504-7336 or www.NTFunerals.com
