To Justin’s family, I am so sorry to hear this. I just saw and talked to him a few weeks ago at the grocery store. He was such a nice young man. Very polite. I’m sorry for your loss.

Justin rip. I’ve known you and your brothers for years. I use to see you several times a day sometimes. You was loved by everybody. You were smart and funny and above all kind hearted. Also I’ve gotten to know one of your children Mylee. Her and my daughter are friends and Mylee is a lot like you she’s just alittle fire stick. She’s also funny and silly like you but above all she’s kind hearted just like you. I’m sure your children will keep your memories alive. We will all see you again someday. Until we do you just hold the fort down. You use to tell me hold the fort down. Rip Justin you will be missed until we see you again.

My heart is broken! Justin was one of my very best friends in high school, from working at the market, then fishing or hunting every day.. the long rides to Franklin early in the morning to him singing every stupid rap song.. the memories ❤️ I truly loved this guy, good or bad, we all have our failures but my memories are only good and I’d give anything to have saw him one last time! RIP buddy, you once light up a room with your personality and smile.. I sure miss that!
