Hello,
We would like to express our deepest condolences and also let the Garvey Family know that we recently sent Care Packages to American troops in the war zones.

We recognize that this is a humble tribute, but we wanted you to know that it is heartfelt and made possible by thousands of like-minded individuals in the youth hockey community and beyond. We will not forget. May...

I went to basic training with Justin, 14 years ago, and I found out about his death about 4 years ago. When I read it, it stopped me in my tracks. I cant remember very many Soldiers from basic, but he is one that I will always remember. That shows you what kind of person he was, he had a lasting impression on me. I still have a pic of Justin and myself on graduation day, we look 12. You will never be forgot. I just wanted his family to know how truely proud I am to have known him and to...

I didn't know him but wish I had. My brother took a picture of his memorial and this is how I found him. What a fine man he was. God bless you and may you rest in peace. My prayers are with you.
