JT was one of the most cheeful boys i knew.. he was always joking and just had such a wonderful presence about him all the time..i graduated in 2009 so i was always older then justin but he was still so fun to be around no matter the age difference..i did not see him for awhile but this loss is still very shocking.. My prayers go out to the family.. JT was a very well raised young man who will be missed greatly.. love you JT you'll always be my "baby in the craddle" <-- inside joke with mee. he would try and hit on me and i would tell him it would be robbing the craddle so he would say i can be your baby in the craddle.. what a charming sense of humor he had..

love and miss you JT <3

My heart hurts so bad thinking about this. It is so sad. I know Justin is up there with all our relatives now and enjoying meeting them. Maybe grandpa Martin, dad and Uncle Nealy will share some good hunting stories with him. He is now one of God special angel's. May the Lord bless your family during this time.

I first met JT back in Jr High. He was always smiling and laughing, and making sure that everyone around him was happy. He was one of the biggest sweethearts I've ever met. He was truly one of a kind, and there wont ever be another person on this earth that can even come close to comparing to him. JT, youre truly missed at Bayside, I know you're up there in heaven smiling down on all of us.
I miss you and I love you sweetheart.
The hogs are bigger in heaven boyz!

Mr and Mrs Tompkins,
I am extreamly sorry for your loss. I have some good memories of Justin and Nick together. What clowns they were when they were with each other. Justin and all his crazy sounds that he made and nick would just laugh and laugh. I have told nick that this is what he needs to remember about Justin. I want to thank you for letting him say goodbye at the hospitol it meant the world to him. Justins memory will live on. His friends will never forget what a wonderful and happy person he truly was. Soar with the angels Justin we all know you are one of them watching down on all of your family and friends.

JT-
I miss you more than you can imgaine. You always made me laugh and put a smile on my face. I wish I would have given you that cupcake on Friday. I know it wouldnt have made a huge difference, but I wouldnt have felt better. I know you are up in heaven smiling and laughing at us for crying about you. We should all be happy for you, but it is so hard to be. I just wish you were still here so that I can tell you how much you really mean to me. I miss you and I love you.

Save me one up there budd.

What I am feeling right now is hard to put into words. I've known Gil for a long time, he was my son's Best Man at his wedding. Although I didn't know Justin that well, my Grandson Tyler and my Son Charlie, were close with both Justin and Gil. Think of all the good things Justin did and you will smile. My heart goes out to you Gil and your family.

My daughters, Lisa and Julia, met Justin through Chad and Jake Cameron. They met him only once but he made quite an impression on both of them. Lisa said Justin enjoyed teasing her and she said she enjoyed teasing him. She said he was funny and he made her laugh. She was touched because he was so nice to her after only spending one day with her and Jake. I am so glad that our children were able to spend a small amount of time together and get to know eachother. The girls will never forget Justin. We are personally so sorry for your loss. We pray for your faith in God and strength during this very difficult time. God Bless.

A poem for Justin and his family,

The Lord has taken you to His home,
Among the angels you now roam,
Wings intact, halo too,
You are one of His chosen few.

You walk with Him now hand in hand,
Through the fields of the Promised Land,
In Heaven's realm of paradise,
Where everything's in place and precise.

Thoughts of you are in our hearts,
We will keep them there while we're apart,
We love and miss you very much,
Through our prayers we will keep in touch.

Rest In Peace Justin. . .
