Our hearts ache for you and boys. Justin had a way about him that few people are capable of. He gave everything he had to the people around him to make them feel special. Justin was everyone's best friend the second you met him. He brought a million smiles to any room he walked into. Justin was one of a kind and we were all lucky to know him.
