Not sure what to say?

Miss you and your music! So blessed to have had the opportunity to love you, Justin!

Thinking of you today and always, Justin. You brought so much love and joy to us all. I miss you.

Deepest sympathies to the family and friends of Justin. I knew Justin briefly but it was clear from the moment I met him that he was the kind of young man that could light up a room; and he did each time he made an entrance at the Clique. Just an all around good person and I'm still stunned by this sad news. Justin, you will be missed.

Although it's been nearly twenty-three years since we spent time together, a person is the sum of their experiences. Ours, with "JayMan", has a special, warm, glow that we'll always cherish.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to you. Justin was so special and taken much too soon. He will be missed.

He has to be one of the sweetest souls I have ever had the chance to meet. Good memories...Prayers for justin and his family...

Our prayers are with you Janet, Ron, Zak and all your family at this passing of your nephew.

I am so proud to have been your stepmom. I really enjoyed our conversations. And I always would laugh when you would say "We are on a need to know basis. If you thought I needed to know you would tell me". I am going to miss our phone calls about what was happening in the town. Fly high Justin. I love you very much.

Justin was a good- hearted guy. I only knew him from bowling at the Clique (and his interest in good beer), but always could count on a friendly conversation and smile. This is stunningly sad news. My thoughts are with his family. I will miss this fine young man, who left us way too soon.
