Justin Ross Brannan

It's been so long ago, but I think of you all the time man You and me became best friends in the blink of an eye. I remember every damn thing we did together. I found and old picture today and it took me down memory lane. Rest easy, Justin B. Aka just-in-time.

Still think of you often and with much fondness and love. I have never been able to fully process what happened, even all these years later. You will never be forgotten JRB. Your life on earth was way too short but I will look forward to seeing you, and laughing with you, one day dear friend.

Hi Justin:
I still say hello to you everyday when I pass you by...
We will meet one day.
LOVE

HEY BABY! I HAVENT WRITTEN ON HERE YET CAUSE IT IS REALLY HARD. the last few years we spent together were....hmm...cant really explain! From when we were first best buds, then, you pulled a "sneak atttack" and kissed me,after that we were glued at the hip ever since. I was so lucky to have you as a bestfriend and boyfriend for so long, i still thank god everyday for bringing you into my life. I miss your contagious smile, your big hugs, standing on your feet while slow dancing, falling asleep...

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family Justin. It's comforting to know you're in a better place. RIP.

No one is truly gone just so long as we remember him.

They say that no is is truly gone just as long as we remember him.

Well Justin, you will be remembered. Your short time here on our island will not be forgotten, and I am glad that you have a fitting monument to attest to that. The living tree where you perished will stand forever, and I feel that is symbolic of your thirst for life. I pass by there everyday, and everytime I do you will be thought of- so in a way, You also will be with us forever.

C ya soon,

Billy (AKA...

Justin, i can't believe any of this. I always envied the way you lived your life. you lived a full and happy one, and you lived it the way you wanted. thank you for the summer of 2003. i will always have those memories nestled deep in my heart, and no one can ever take them away. more people should live as freely and as beautifully as you lived.

Dont think of him as gone away his journeys just begun.. life holds so many facets this earth is only one. Just think of him as resting from the sorrows and the tears in a place of warmth and comfort where there are no days and years. And think of him as living in the hearts of those he touched..for nothing loved is ever lost, and he was loved so much.

My prayers go out to the Brannan family.
