He enjoyed the outdoors and recently learned how to snowboard in Wyoming. He enjoyed spending time with his family and enjoyed many family trips to the beach. Justin’s family extended to his co-workers at SMH, as well as his fellow nursing students. Justin’s courage was shown while working in the ER, never afraid to jump in and help save a life.
