Justin R. Mixon Obituary

Justin. It's been 13 years and I'll not forget you my friend.. I've spoken to your dad a few times. He's a great person..
I miss you brother..

Wow. Here we are again. 11 years ago already! Justin, I finally spoke to your father! He loves you so much.. I told him how much of a good job he and your mother did raising you!

You were one of the best young soldiers I've ever had the pleasure of working with. You were so respected and respectful even at your young age. You treated everyone with the utmost respect and compassion.

I moved to Florida, perhaps one day I'll be able to drive over and meet your family. I'd like that..

Here's to loving you and all you stood for!

Love you always brother!

10 years gone my brother. 10 years passed by in the blink of an eye. Wyatt must be getting big by now. I held him when he was 2 maybe 3 days old.

Many memories are fading with time but the beaming pride on Justin's face when he introduced his son to me as I held him well be the last memory to fade. I'll never forget the excitement as he talked about his baby boy. All the things he'll get to do with him, teach him and explore growing up together. Justin was so excited to be a father. I wish Wyatt had more time with his father. Justin had so much love to give this world, I hope heaven knows what it got when Justin arrived there..

Justin, once again this day has come. It's hard on me every year but I think of your wife and son and know it's harder on them.

I hope you know there's a lot of people that will remember your sacrifice for the rest of their lives. For those that don't know you, be assured Justin is a true American hero,father and friend to many.

Each year I hope his family is doing OK and have been able to pull their lives together.

I'll be back each and every year to pay my respects.

Miss you brother!

A GOOD MAN ,A GOOD FRIEND.

Justin another year has gone by already and you are still remembered daily. I hope your family is doing well.

Rest in peace brother..

Another year has passed and like all the rest I still think of you almost daily. Rest in peace brother..

Can't believe it has been 6 yrs. RIP my brother.

Justin, another year gone, can't believe it's been 6 years now. I hope your family has found some solace in knowing you are NOT FORGOTTEN and as long as I'm alive I'll remember you and what you gave in Iraq on this day. Take care brother!

Justin... Memorial Day is approaching, and Wyatt is now 6 years old. Old enough now for me to teach him about your sacrifice and that his freedom isn't free. He was just a baby, that day you came home for the very last time... Smiling and waving his tiny little flag in his chubby little hand.. Now he knows. He knows who you were. Why you did what you did, with pride and honor. He knows there is a little boy almost his age without a daddy.. And he knows that there are thousands more like you, that gave the ultimate sacrifice. That is my Memorial Day tribute this year. To make one more young person understand the true cost of freedom. Til we meet again my friend.. Keep smiling that mischievous smile...

Another year has passed. I hope your family has come to terms with this day. I know it must be hard for them every year. I wished upon wishes I had a way to keep in touch with his wife and baby. Just know that I think about you all the time. I remember Justin introducing us the day after he became a father while you were still in the hospital. All gave some, and some gave all. RIP Justin..... RIP

rest in peace

Justin,

I miss you.. I think of you every day. I remember the day your baby was born in Germany. I remember the excitement in your whole being when you made me and my wife come meet your wife and newborn in the hospital. Your wife had recently delivered and I thought we would be intruding but you insisted so much that we gave in. You wife looked beautiful and you were THE picture of pride. You would have been one of the best. I remember you everyday.
Mrs. Mixon, please know your husband was and will always be loved by everyone who knew him.
Sgt John Shea

Justin Mixon was a good friend of mine that watched my back many times when we were in Iraq fighting for the people back here. I will always remember the times that we had together with the rest of the team, the good the bad and the ones that we never got to have. I think of him and what happened to him everyday when i wake up and realize that i am here and he is not- The last time that i saw him on that last mission will always be vivid in my mind and i will never forget him. He always talked about his wife and child.... REMEMBER JUSTIN THAT WE ALL CHERISHED YOU AND WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER YOU AS LONG AS WE ARE STILL BREATHING-

To the family of Spc. Justin R. Mixon:
Justin gave the ultimate sacrifice and will be held in the hearts of Americans forever. I cannot and will not let our fallen heroes be forgotten. My deepest sympathy to you. "Some gave all."

The Wind on The Downs

“I like to think of you as brown and tall,
As strong and living as you used to be,
In khaki tunic, Sam Brown belt and all,
And standing there and laughing down at me.
Because they tell me, dear, that you are dead,
Because I can no longer see your face,
You have not died, it is not true, instead
You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe;
I hear you laughing as you used to do,
Yet loving all the things I think of you;
And knowing you are happy, should I grieve?
You follow and are watchful where I go.”

(Written by Marian Allen during World War l )

Two lines that I wish you to keep near your heart…….

“You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe”


I did not know Justin, but I am remembering
his service. He is my hero. !

The Other Side

i'm over on the other side
where life and death softly divide.
left my skin and bones behind
now i'm over on the other side.

can you feel me there with you?
my breath is gone but i'm not through.
loved you then and i still do
from over on the other side.

i can fly. really fly.
below the earth ... all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.

it's good here on the other side.
the sweetest songs...the bluest skies.
thank you for the tears you cried
but it's good here on the other side.

i can fly. really fly. below the earth...all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side

the world is smaller than a needle's eye.
where life and death softly divide.
when you leave your skin and bones behind
i'll be waiting on the other side.

i can fly. really fly. below the earth ... all through the sky.
go tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.

The Final Salute

“Brothers in Arms”, Military men and women down through the centuries, have traditionally exchanged “Hand Salutes” as a sign of recognition and as a way to render courtesy and respect one to another.

This “Hand Salute” is the last that we shall render to SPC. Justin R. Mixon our Brother in Arms. To his family it symbolizes the love and respect that we have for Justin. And to Justin it is rendered as a symbol of honor and gratitude to thank him for the ultimate sacrifice he made in combat while serving the U.S. Army and his country. No greater love is shown than a man lay down his life for another. Justin, you are a brave Warrior, a true Patriot and a national Hero. With your passing, our Country has lost a National Treasure. We bid you a sad farewell. You will be dearly missed from among our ranks. Be at ease. Rest in Peace.

On behalf of the 1,385 members of Lowe-McFarlane Post 14 of the American Legion in Shreveport, Louisiana, I extend our sympathies and our condolences to Justin’s family and loved ones.

I love you for everything that you have done in your life. You were always a good friend to me and I will never forget you. It was so nice to get your email not so long ago that you had joined the Army and that you were married and expecting a son. Justin may you rest in peace.

Sincerely,
Joanie

Please accept my deepest sympathies.

rest in peace justin. god be withe your family

I am so sorry for your loss. I know exactly what you feel, I lost my son in Iraq on March 24th 2008 to an IED. You will have to take one second at a time and then finally one minute at a time, thats where I am not. Please know your son was a hero in everyway. Once again I am so sorry you have to go through this.

To the family and parents of Justin I want you to know that you are not alone in the grief you are feeling. I too know what you are going through and what you will go through in the coming weeks and months ahead. You will have many questions as to why? You will have many things to get ready or go through and that should be done in time. Sometimes it just can’t be faced and that’s ok, for you will know when the time is right for you. There is no right or wrong way to grieve it’s an individual journey that unfortunately we now have to take. I ask that God give the comfort, strength and courage that you are going to need. When and if the time is right for you please contact me. You can cry, vent, or just talk as only another person who has been where you are can really know what you are going through. May God continue to be with you and heal you.

In memory of my son

Prayer for Peace

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace;
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is darkness, light;
And where there is sadness, joy.

O Divine Master,
Grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console;
To be understood, as to understand;
To be loved, as to love;
For it is in giving that we receive,
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
Amen

Whats up bud, sorry that i wasn't there for you man. If only i could just ride with you in 34 vic for one last patrol, I would give anything. love you bro

rsst in peace, God be with your famiy.

My heartfelt condolences to the family of this brave soldier. I'm a nurse driving from Wilmer to Covington, and Husser Vol Fire Dept had a sign in memory of Justin, and their flag at half staff. Since I know some Mixons locally, I googled, and was humbled to discover that this local young man gave the ultimate sacrifice of his life for my freedom. My father was in the Navy - I was raised on the bases, so I understand what the life is like, and how close-knit our military families are. I add this wonderful young man's family to my prayer list and am confident that God will protect and keep them. My own son Matthew left last Thursday for Basic Training in the Army Reserves. I am so very proud of him, of Justin, of my Dad, and of ALL the men and women who have sacrificed for this country so that we may be free - and so that others may hope for the freedom so many of us take for granted. GOD BLESS AMERICA.

To the family and friends of fallen hero SPC Mixon...I am so very sorry for your loss. Please know that you are in the thoughts and prayers of so many. He will not be forgotten. God Bless You.

To the Family and Friends of this Soldier:
I will stand in grief with this soldier's family to honor him. For every fallen HERO there is a bright star that shines in the evening sky to remind us of the cherished gift we were given – even if for too short a time.
My heart breaks again as I sign yet another guest book of another courageous young soldier who gave their life so selflessly. I wish I never found myself in a position to have to sign another guestbook for the rest of my life, but I promised Brent that neither he nor any like him would be forgotten and so I will continue until the day there is no longer the need.
We lost our son SFC Brent A. Adams on 12/1/05 and it seems like yesterday. I wish so badly there were things I could say to you right now to make the pain you are feeling go away, but I know first hand there simply are no words that will bring you the comfort and peace your heart aches for. Just know that you are not alone. My heart, thoughts, and prayers are with you all as you go through this tragedy moment by moment and as you mourn this loss.
We don't know each other, will probably never meet, but will forever be united in the loss of our Heroes. We have, unfortunately joined a group none of us wanted to join, an ever-growing group of families in this situation. May God grant you peace and strength to get through this and be able once again to smile at a memory rather than have only the tears that flow so easily now. To be so proud of your loved one and so saddened at the same time is a mix of emotions very difficult to deal with as our hearts both burst with pride and pain together.
I am sorry that I never knew your soldier personally. While they can never be replaced, neither will they ever be forgotten. You must trust that sometime, someday the loving memories you have will help to sustain you and help you go on. This courageous soldier will forever be your Angel watching over you all for the rest of your lives. It's what brings me some measure of peace and comfort and I hope it will you as well.
To his family and friends in pain, I offer this comfort: When you find yourself in that dark sorrowful place, think not only of how you will miss him, but instead recall the years, days, hours and minutes gifted to you by his presence. The one thing that cannot be taken from you is your wonderful memories that now will mean more than ever.
If you ever want to talk, I'm only an e:mail away and would love for you to tell me more about your Hero.
God Bless this soldier and family who gave all and God Bless legacy.com for setting up this site where families can so quickly share their condolences and prayers with others like themselves.

There is nothing that I can say or do to take away the pain or bring you peace in your time of sorrow, but I will offer you and your family my heart felt condolences. I also offer you my prayers that in time the pain will easy and the memories of your HERO will carry you through each day and night. I want to thank your HERO, for his/her selfless act of becoming a member of the armed forces, his/her willingness to defend the United States of America, all that we hold sacred and for the sacrifice that will forever be etched in the memories of all those who knew him/her. Though tears can never bring him/her back, we hope that our tears express our gratitude for the sacrifice that he/she made and our sorrow at his/her passing. I believe for every fallen HERO there is a star shining brightly up above to remind us of the precious gift we were given.

Your mission on earth is complete and you are now a member of GOD’s Heavenly armed forces. Stand down brave warrior and take your rightful place in Heaven with all the HEROES who have passed before.

I made a special promise to LE RON A. WILSON, a dear family friend who joined the Army with three other friends, one of whom is my son (Le Ron was killed in action on 07/06/07 at the age of 18) on the day he was laid to rest as I touched his coffin, that I would never forget him nor would I forget those that gave their lives for our country before him, with him and after him and so when I came across www.legacy.com, I thought what a great way to keep my promise to Le Ron, so I will continue to leave tributes in each guest book until the day there is no longer the need to leave these tributes to a FALLEN HERO.

REST IN PEACE, HERO, YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN!!

I would also like to tell you about a website, http://groups.msn.com/SSPSoldierPor
traits/homepage,
where some wonderful people will make wood portraits of your fallen Hero for free for the immediate family. I became aware of this site when I wanted to do something special for Le Ron’s mother.

I had the honor of bringing Justin home back to the States. I'm a loadmaster on the C-17 and it was my first overseas mission. Unfortunately, there were four others with Justin and I'll never forget their names or their sacrifice. To his family, I'm deeply sorry for your loss but please take comfort that he's back where he should be. The ceremony at Dover AFB was absolutely beautiful and every custom and courtesy was extended to him. Be at peace now, Justin.

My deepest condolences to Justin's parents. However, I have to tell you he was a wonderful person.My family got to know him very well inside and outside of work. He was a great bowler, father, and son. I know that he is watching over Tia and Tony, and he will be deeply missed. May he rest in peace being a hero!

Walter and Melinda along with all of Justin's family,
We are very sorry for your loss and pray that God will give you strenghth daily.

I know there are no words to say, except how sorry I am for your loss. May you hold Justins' memory in your heart and please remember he shall never be forgotten.

...For you every single soldier
Those who served so honorable
Your life was forever altered
While I’m home safe and free
I stand with grateful admiration
I stand respectful and so proud
I know I’m only a civilian
And I don’t even know if it’s allowed.

But I salute you; allow me the honor
to salute you with permission let me say
Even though I hold no rank know that from my heart
My humble gratitude comes from the deepest part.
I salute you.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

My dear friend, even though it's been quiet some many years since we last spoke, I clearly remember our last conversation. You and me skipping out on church, just chillin in your old Dodge, wondering what the hell you were going to do with the rest of your life. When you told me the military I was excited because I knew if you stayed in bog. you would be miserable. Now I wish we could go back and I could tell you staying in bog. IS the best option Cuz I would rather have you here than to be writing you this. All those long drives to Denham Springs just to talk, wrestling in your living room, and I still have your old radio you put in my car. All these thing didn't click until Sunday with I saw your mom and she couldn't let go of me, she whispered "he's finally a hero and he wont have anymore nightmares". You meant alot to this family and your memory will still live inside all of us. BTW I finaly saw pictures of Tony, he is the splitting image of you. Even your mad face ya'll are idenitical. I just wish I could have seen you with him, I know it would have been magical.
I just wanted to say: I miss you!

Justin you will be missed I got to know you in Vilseck Germany on the bowling league you will be remembered here. The lord has blessed you with a beautiful son so everytime I see him I will be seeing you. You gave all so we can have all.

Please know that as a mother of a Soldier; I'm grieving with you. As are so many, many others.

Justin, I am sorry to hear of your passing and thank you so much for your sacrifice to our nation and freedom. We lost my nephew PFC Aaron J. Ward on 5/6/08 and know that our family is grieving like so many others along with your family. Mixon family, I am so sorry that you lost Justin and our family will keep your's and your brave soldier in our thoughts and prayers.

I am writing to offer my deepest sympathies to you and your family over the loss of your HERO Spc Justin R Mixon. I lost my son in Iraq on May 6/2007, so I can well understand your pain of losing a loved one so dear.

I pray you will be guided by a higher power to give you peace, comfort and strength in this time.

From our military family to yours, we would like to thank SPC Justin Mixon for his service and sacrifice to this great country, as well as send our deepest condolences for your loss. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Please accept my Deepest and Most Heartfelt Sympathy regarding the loss of Spc. Justin R. Mixon, with So Much Gratitude for your Fine Young Soldier's Courage, Dedication and Service to our Country and for Freedom.

May Justin rest safely now, in God's Care and know that he is a True American hero, that shall Never Be Forgotten.
May the Peace of the Lord be with the Mixon family.
There will Never Be Enough Ways, to Humbly Thank these Young Heroes, for their Sacrifices, my brother among them. Killed in action in Vietnam in 1967.

"And God shall wipe away every tear from their eyes,
there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying,
there shall be no more pain.
For the former things have have passed away."
~ Revelations 21:4 ~

May you find peace in knowing the love and memories you have, will remain in your heart forever and that this Country Will Remember Justin's Sacrifice.
My thoughts and prayers are with you.
