I didnt know Justin but Ive heard about him my whole life. His mother was my aunt, my mothers sister. She has been looking for him for as long as I can remember. I thought how nice it would be for Christmas to find him for her finally, after all these years. Im at so sad to hear I was too late. I havent told my mom yet, Ill wait until after Christmas. If anyone is reading this and can get me in touch with his family, I would greatly appreciate it. It would mean the world to my mom to at least talk to someone about her nephew. She never forgot about him. My email address is [email protected]

I met Justin in 1986 in Gooding and we remained friends ever since. He was one finest people I have ever known, smart funny, and a great Dad. He inspired me to work through adversity and think about the postives in life. I will miss him, he was my brother.

The Human race has lost one of it's finest. Justin not only showed compassion and caring for others he also taught us what survival was all about, never letting his disability get in the way. I often forgot he had one. He always was offering his knowledge and help regardless of the situation. Nothing got in his way. Justin had such a beautiful soul. This is such a tragedy,as he touched so many and will be missed. My prayers go to sweet little Jonathan may he always have the memories of how much his dad loved him.
