I remember Justin from my days at CHS, and what I remember most about him was his smile. It was always so bright and genuine. Justin was always so positive and really tried to get along with everyone. I am so sorry for your loss. All I can say is Heaven is a better place because Justin is there.

Dear Kukowski Family
My heart is sad to hear that Justin has died. He was a bright spot in my service to the Lutheran Community of
Chaska. I remember fondly our trip to Montana and his work with youth. I had hoped and prayed that he would feel the call to ministry, he lived the faith.
God Bless you as you mourn, and know that you do not mourn alone.

A great guy that will always be remembered. My prayers go out to his family. I will always remember those times at FAC, where he was a great Christian and a role model for us all.

He was a delightful person that I knew as a fellow student at St. Scholastica. An entertaining, helpful young man. I am sorry for your loss, and for the possible students he would have touched.

To The Kukowski Family,
I am vary sorry to hear of passing of Justin "Kuk". It is always vary hard to hear of your classmates having there lives cut so short. I know with Kuk's faith and beliefs he will be with everyone of us, throughout our lives. My condolences and paryers go out to both the Kukowski Family, and the many friends of Justins that helped the family and Justin throughout his battle.

I met Justin at College of St. Scholastica. I really admired his outlook on life. I know he taught all of his peers a little about math, I can't imagine the great things he would have done with those high school kids.
Our family sends our deepest sympathies to Justin's family. God Bless!

Justin was a great man and a person everyone who met him could call a friend. It's a honor that I knew him as long as I did. I will never forget this last year and times we spent talking about all the things we did when we were growing up. He will always be with me throughout my life. His faith was amazing and I take comfort in knowing that he is now in heaven watching over all of us, making sure that we are all doing alright. That's the kind of man he was, and to Don, Vicki, Bob, Kathleen and family you have my deepest sympathies and you are in our thoughts and prayers always.

Dear Kukowski Family,
My prayers and thoughts are with you at this time. I have known Justin being a COG member for 27 years. I can remember everyone at church during Sunday School, retreats, and confirmation calling Justin, "Kuk". Those were great times and I'll never forget.

Although we did not know him well, we remember Justin from the Cross Country team, and of course, we know Kyle as he is a good friend of our son, Kirk. This has been a long journey for all of you. May God give you strength and comfort, and may you have many wonderful memories to cherish!

Dear Kukowski Family,
My deepest sympathy and prayers for you. Justin I am proud to say was a student of mine at CHS. Sadly we have lost so many young stars over the past few years. The Hawks are well represented on "Gods Team". Justin will always be in my thought and prayers as are those former students that have past before him. When I think of Justin I am reminded of a young man who cared for others. He freely gave what I consider the greatest gift, his "time" to help others. I witnessed this often. As you go through this sad time may you find comfort in the fact that Justin left a little of himself here with so many. He will be missed dearly, and when we are sad for his loss we will think of his smile, and smile ourselves.
God Bless us all.

I was shocked to learn about Justin's passing. He was honestly one the friendliest people I have ever had the privilege of knowing. My memories of him all seem to involve his ability to immediately connect and befriend just about anyone he met. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends in this difficult time.

Justin was a wonderful friend and his strength was inspiring. I will miss him very much. It is very hard to be so far away (in South America) at this time but I send my prayers to the entire family.

Kukowski family,
I am deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Justin. I knew him in High School and he was the most amazing person I have ever known. He had a way about him that made everyone know they were important to him and that they mattered. You should be proud knowing that the child you raised, turned into an amazing man. Heaven is so lucky to have an angel like him.

I am truely saddened when hearing of Justin's passing. He always made me laugh- especially when people were not performing on the "tape ball" field, or ping pong, etc. He will be missed by everyone.
