I miss you my sweet Angel. I can’t believe the world is still turning and you’re not here. I’ll never stop loving and thinking of you and talking about you. It’s been 5 months and God, how you are missed. You were my best friend and keeper of the memories and jokes. Losing you is like losing half of me. I love you my sweet son. I miss your voice, your jokes, you giving me advice, solicited or otherwise. I can’t wait to see you on the other side, sweet boy. All my love always. Mom

Justin was a unique spirit. He was always a leader and never a follower. He was as kind to strangers as he was to friends. He had a sharp mind and a quick wit. He was fiercely loyal to friends and family and he loved the freedom and symbolism this country represents. Joining the Navy is a brave thing to do, but confidence and bravery were commodities Justin had a surplus of. Time and time again I saw Justin see a problem that everyone else was running away from, and he would run towards it to help. He was generous with his time and a builder of men. He was one of the most positive people I know, almost to the point where when he walked into a room, you could actually feel the energy shift and see people who weren't smiling before now smiling. He accomplished many great things in life. He saw many sights, did many things, and had many experiences, but he never really bragged about anything until he became a father. That was easily his proudest moment. He was truly a wonderful guy and one of a kind. My thoughts and prayers are with his son, family and loved ones. We lost one of the good ones.

Since hearing about Justin passing, a Maya Angelou quote has been bouncing between my ears: "People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." While people like me had to read books in their late thirties to learn virtues like this, Justin seemed to emulate this naturally since his youth. Perhaps it was something about his need to understand things around him that made it incredibly natural for Justin to make people around him feel special/unique/important. I am comforted in knowing that he is now somewhere there is no darkness threatening tarnish to his soulshine.

Justin was a wonderful young man that was such a positive energy & ray of bright light. He always thought of others before himself. A veteran & a remarkable human being. I pray his soul is at peace.

I met Justin when he worked for Venezia dispatching and I worked at Lehigh White Cement and ordered trucks from him. We probably spoke dozens of times a day for the time he was on that board and became friends. I loved working with Justin, he was funny and smart and we had such a great working relationship. I remember how much he loved his dogs (and any dog) and his son Jacob was the light of his life. The world lost an amazing man when Justin left this earth but I know his soul is still with all of those he loved and he will be watching over us. I also wish I could have had one last conversation with Justin but know that he is there and knows how much we will miss him. My heart is with Suzannah and the rest of his family and friends as Justin leaves a huge hole in everyones life. Rest in Peace, my friend the Simple Man.

I’m met Justin about 20 years ago, immediately I liked him. He was funny he was charming he was kind and he made you feel like you knew him forever. Justin was like the man best friend I never had and all I could say is I pray he is at peace comfort and happy because in the end that’s all he really ever wanted. I wish I could’ve seen him one more time and had a deep conversation with him like we always used to have he was a great listener and a great advice giver. I will see you one day again my friend, loved you liked family xoxox Brandi
