It's been 14 years since I last saw you! I know one thing for sure like never before is God is getting ready to wrap up this world and come and get his people! I pray each and every day I am ready! I can't wait to see your handsome face and just be able to touch you and hold you in my arms. My heart has always been half broken without you! Some days still it's rough! i just don't have control over my emotions and I just starting to cry like a endless water hose never being turned off! I LOVE YOU WITH ALL MY HEART! I know Kendra misses you also! When she got married she had a table set up for Memory Table with you and her dad! There's not a day go by that I don't think of you! THE RAPTURE IS COMING AND I CAN'T WAIT! There are not enough words in this world to describe the loss of you and the handsome young man you were becoming. With All Our Love To You! KATHAN JOHNSON AND KENDRA SANDERS

It's been 12 years since you been gone.
I long to see your face. Time is getting closer and closer. It's not long before I step inside heaven and see you. I know that I always pray and read my Bible and try to live right. I really need to make heaven,how I long to touch you and hold you in my arms. Time is closer and closer every day.❤✝

My heart still longs to hold you and kiss you. I have been so lost without you. I think about you all the time. It's been 12 years since you been gone and every day seems like yesterday. I love you with all my heart and soul. Soon JESUS is coming and I get to see you and be with you. Your sister talks about you all the time, I know she really misses you. Especially when you can see tears in her eyes. There is nothing we can do for the pain of your loss, but to keep serving GOD and knowing one day very soon we are going to see you. And we both can't wait. We love and miss you with all of our hearts. ' MY LOVE TO YOU FOREVER AND EVER '

This morning I woke up thinking heavily about you. I miss you dearly and the times we spent throwing the football or chasing your fat cat around the house with Kendra trying to hold him so he wouldn't run. I miss our late night chats. I hope you and Mom are enjoying Heaven. Until we see each other again

HEY BUDDY,
I THOUGHT ABOUT YOU TONIGHT . JUST MISSING YOUR LAUGH AND YOUR SMILE THE MOST . STILL CANT BELIEVE ITS BEEN 8 YEARS, 8 LONG YEARS AT THAT . IT SEEMS LIKE YESTERDAY I JUST TALKED TOO YOU OR SEEN YOU AT SCHOOL. I REMEMBER WHEN IT FIRST HAPPENED I USED TOO DREAM ABOUT YOU , LAST WEEK I THOUGHT ABOUT YOU AND NEARLY HAD A BREAK DOWN AT WORK. ITS CRAZY HOW YOU CAN BE WITH SOMEONE ONE MINUTE AND THEN THEY'RE GONE FOREVER. WHEN YOU LEFT NOTHING WAS THE SAME. I CAN REMEMBER THE HALLS BEING QUIET AT SCHOOL , AND EVERYBODY JUST STANDING BY THEIR LOCKERS CRYING . I REMEMBER WHEN THE SCHOOL DAY WAS OVER I WAS WALKING DOWN THE HALL WAY AND I SEEN NOTHING BUT NASTY TISSUE LAID ACROSS THE HALLWAY. BUT THAT WAS TISSUE FROM EVERYBODY WIPING THEIR TEARS AND NOSES FROM CRYING ALL DAY. EVERYBODY AT SCHOOL WAS NUMB. NOBODY WAS REALLY TALKING. NOBODY COULD FOCUS IN CLASS . IT WAS LITERALLY THE WORST FOR ESSEX COUNTY FOR THE PEOPLE THAT KNEW YOU . THAT SAME NIGHT I REMEMBER GOING HOME CHANGING MY CLOTHES TO GO THE FITNESS CENTER FOR A LIL MEMORIAL FOR YOU. I WORE YOUR FAVORITE COLOR WHICH WAS ORANGE . THAT NIGHT I GOT HOME I TOSSED AND TURNED IN MY BED . JUST REPLAYING SO MANY MEMORIES IN MY HEAD. NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD'VE BEEN SAYING REST IN PEACE . BUT GOD HAD A PLAN FOR YOU A WAY BETTER PLAN THAN FOR YOU ON EARTH . I APPRECIATE THE TIME WE SPENT ESPECIALLY ON THE SOFTBALL FIELD ON SATURDAYS . I APPRECIATE THE TIME WITH YOU EVEN THOUGH IT WAS CUT SHORT . I LOVE YOU SO MUCH AND THANKS FOR BEING AN AWESOME FRIEND TOO ME . I LOVE YOU SO MUCH JUSTIN AND I WILL NEVER FORGET ABOUT YOU . HUGS AND KISSES FRIEND

To Justin’s mother, Kathan, father, Chuck, sister, Kendra, former step mother and step sister, Cindy and Crystal and all the many other family and friends during this time of pain and sadness. I would always see Justin in Cindy's beauty shop. He was always looking for candy and making up jokes. He made a lasting impression on me which I will never forget. May you remember Justin with smiles and all the happiness he brought to you in his short life. I know it's hard to cope with the loss, but with GOD on your side you can get through this together.

I can't begin to explain what an amazing friend Justin was. He was funny, energetic and outgoing. There wasn't a day that went by where he didn't touch someones heart with a compliment, smile or even just a punch in the arm :) He was so special, to more people than he will ever know. We all miss him dearly. To Kathy, Kendra, Ryan, and other family and close friends; He loves you all very much, and though he had a mind of his own sometimes, he always knew you were right! That's just Justin though...always giving people a run for their money. I miss him so much, and my heart goes out to everyone and anyone who knew him. Justin Bevan Erwin...don't you forget any of us, or we'll come up there and kick your butt. And no picking on your sister anymore either...she loves you too much, and she's getting old enough to fight back now :)
You all are in my thoughts and prayers.

Justin I remember you in my fondest memories when I was with you and your father. You were a sweet boy and you grew into a nice, young, goodhearted man. I will always remember the times we spent together. You will always be in my heart. Brenda I admire the way you raised Justin. You and your daughter Kendra will be in my prayers. Also I would like to extend my prayers also to Chuck and his grandmother Mrs. Joe Erwin.

Kathy and Kendra,
We are so sorry for your loss. We will alway remember Justin for his bright smile, his love for sports, and his baseball cap. He definitly brightened our small part of Dunnsville. Kathy, just as you said yesterday, you brought Justin up not to see color and to treat everyone the same. You did a wonderful job and I think it is evident in how many lives he touched, both young and old. Take comfort in knowing that his short life made a difference to so many. Hold fast to the knowledge that he is with his Savior and you will see him one day. If there is anything we can do for you, just call.

Justin was a great person and a funny person. You could always find Justin with his hat on in class sitting on top of the desk. He oculd always make you laugh when he would tell stories and jokes. I remember him in study hall always laughing really loud and saying funny things under his breath to Mrs. Gross. I'll always remember him and won't forget the many laughs he gave me. To his family and close friends, i prey that God will give you comfort and peace at mind during your time of lost. God works in mysterious ways and have a purpose for his doings. May God give you joy and peace. God bless

To all of Justin's family,
We are all with you at this tragic time in your life. We all loved Justin very much and have loved him since we knew him which was every since he was born. I know this time is not easy to get through and no matter what words anyone says, it doesn't make it any easier cause it can't take the pain of losing him away. But just know that our prayers are with you and that of course GOD is with you through it all. It is all in his plans. He has Justin now so he is safe in Jesus' arms and now he wants your heart to be for GOD, so you too one day can be with Jesus in heaven and reunite with Justin once again. I know that along with Jesus welcoming Justin home in heaven was his sweet little grandma Irene welcoming Justin home. I know she was so glad to see him again and to see him safe in heaven with her. We love you all and if you need anything just let us know. Our prayers are with you. Love always.

Chuck, Reagan & Kathan,
Now is the time to cry out to God. There is peace and comfort thru the Lord Jesus Christ. Justin is there with God, God met him at the gates and welcomed him home. His body is whole and renewed there. We can not explain or understand why these things in life happen. Don't question God, ask for his comfort, strenght and peace. God brings trials and tribulations to our lifes to draw us closer to him, if he brings us to it, he will see us through it. This is the time where Jesus is carrying you through life, where you only see one set of footprints in the sand. Lean now on the Lord Jesus Christ, he alone will see you through this.
God be with you. Lisa Smith

Justin was a very fun person to be around, we had 3rd period together and he always had everyone laughing and on friday in 3rd period even though everyone was thinking about him i could tell that the class would never be the same without him. We wasn't as close as we was in lower grades but we still had our share of conversations and arguments...and to think just thursday we was in class taking a test then later that night i heard about the tragedy and all i could think about was how his mother was going to take it, and it was hard for me to sleep cuz i kept thinking about him and his mother, and it made me feel the same way i felt when my granddaddy died, even though he wasn't family it hurt me so i know it hurt the family so much more... my thoughts and prayers is with his mother and the rest of the family. R.I.P. Justin.. see you again someday. (Junior Classmate of Justin!!! CLASS OF 2010)
Love always Brittney L. Reynolds

To Justin's parents; during this time of pain and sorrow, I want to first send out my condolences to you and the family. I know it's hard to cope with the loss, but with GOD on our side we can get through this together.
Matthews 5:4
Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.
II Corinthians 1:3,4
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort , who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.
JUSTIN WILL BE MISSED AND NEVER FORGOTTEN. IN MY HEART ALWAYS.
I WILL CONTINUE TO KEEP YOU AND YOUR FAMILY IN MY PRAYERS.
~Justin, our ANGEL, as we prepare to walk across the stage next year we will never forget the memories we hold so dear and close to our hearts. You will be greatly missed!!!! C-ya again some day!

To the family of Justin, I was a substitute teacher in Essex County for 2 yrs almost and Justin was one of my students that I had the pleasure of knowing. I feel for your loss and I am so sorry. My daughters fiance was killed in a car accident in Sharps, Va on Jan 14, 2008. We will never understand why God takes our children from us at such an early age, but he has a plan for Justin in heaven, and Justin will be watching over us. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this time.

I thank you so much. For bringing Justin up in an enviroment where he could benefit. He was a trip, and quite amazing boy. He was my brother I never had. A practical sibiling. He was my sunshine, on the brightest days and the darkest. He was one of my great friends, and will always be my guy bestfriend. The only thing that gives me hope is i know, I'll see him again someday. What doesn't kil you only makes you stronger. He's missed by so many. Kendra, its going to be so hard. But, you'll be just like him. He stood up for whats right, and never let anyone stand in the way of his dreams. Your beautiful, every little peice, love.

Mrs. Erwin,
I know that you may get MANY of these for Justin, and I'm sorry if it makes you unhappy. I know that in many situations like this the last thing you may want is to keep on getting "condolences" letters. I just wanted to let you know that even though I didn't get to know Justin all that well through school. I want to assure he WILL be missed greatly!! He was such a nice person, to everyone he was near, i'm sorry you have to go through this. No mother/parent should have to. Just try to keep in mind that Justin is in a better place now, God is watching over him now. And even though it seems like it wont, things WILL get better for you.
May God bless you and your family,
Rachel Hart (Junior classmate of Justin's)

I can't express my feelings for your loss enough...it was a very sad day on friday for all of us at Essex High School...i had to be told by my bus driver as we passed the sight of the crash, i didn't excpect it
I can't stress enough how much we need to keep his memories alive...he made me smile all the time, just seeing him...I'm still in denial and i keep waiting for monday to get here so i can see his smiling face in the hallway, but it's not going to happen and even though we weren't that close we did have some good times in gym last year.
I want to say again i'm very sorry for your loss...and i'm sorry for the school's lost too..He was one of the only people i actually liked, but i guess god takes the best of us home so he can have them all to himself...
God has the funniest, goofiest angel now...and he's enjoying every part of justin Just keep him alive and the memories and good times rolling, because he's still her in spirit

I'm very sorry for your loss. There are no words to describe how great of a guy he was. He will missed terribly. Our school will never be the same. This is unfair. I can understand why God would want a great guy like Justin by his side, but I don't believe it should've been now. If you or any of your family members need anything me, Libby Schools, my mother, Jenny Williams, and my step father, Anthony Williams, are all here for you. RIP Justin. We will always love and remember you....

To the family and friends of Justin, when God created Justin, he knew that his stay wasn't going to be very long and that Justin would need people who would guide,teach, and love him... He chose every one of you to influence Justin and show him how wonderful life can be and how to truly love. You all are so very blessed to have been able to have the opportunity to have such a beautiful person brought into your life. I know Justin is in heaven now and he is knowing how blessed he was ,as well, to have you all... I am praying for you... and I want you to know I love you. God bless..

Please accept our most heartfelt sympathy in the tragic loss of your son and brother, Justin. You do not know us, but we know and share your pain. Our only son, Jake, was tragically killed in an ATV accident almost 3 years ago. Not one day goes by that we don't think of him. Please know that eventhough the pain does not go away, there will be a time when you will be able to function again. Also, please believe that Justin is OK; he is just fine. It's those who are left behind that suffer. I have come to realize and believe that those who have been taken from us way too early have served their purpose here on earth, and God has called them home for an even greater purpose. I hope that you will be able in time to believe that as well. Please let yourself rely on your friends and family in order to help you with this difficult time. We would never have made it without the love and support of our friends. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Garnett and Paul Copeland
