Justin was a very smart "kid" that worked very hard with his Dad and I back in the day. I came to very much like Justin and we had long chats about the future. He was definitely looking out for his family and loved all his friends. A true loss to the world.
I will think of him often and his parting will remind me how fragile life truly is.

Justin,
In the short time I've known you, I have learned you are a great husband, father, friend, cousin and hunter. You will be missed and there will be a hole in everyone's heart that will not be complete till we see you again.
