I know you KNOW that no mother could have loved a son more than I did you. You were always there for the three musketeers, you/me/Shanna. And I want you to know that I KNOW how much you loved your Mommy. Nothing will ever be the same without you in our lives on a daily basis from telephone talks, texting, drop in visits and family get togethers. You have a very special gift of making whoever you were with or were talking to feel like they were the most important person in the world. That's one of the reasons why there were approx 500 people who came to your Celebration of Life Service to honor you and pay their respects. Your boys are your legacy. Since I believe you can see everything that is going on, I know how proud you are of your family, especially your sister and Jeff, in making a loving home for Chase and Colton. Oh baby boy! Your boys miss you so and I hope I can help make a positive difference for their future. I am looking forward to being with you again and also your Dad, Grandmother Snell, Grandmother Sterling and Grandad Miller. I obviously have work to do still here on earth or God would have taken me instead of you. I don't get it and I NEVER will but I can guarantee that I will do my best to keep this family healthy (spiritually, physically, emotionally)and together. It will NEVER be as much fun without you but I have a feeling your nephew, niece and your two boys will help me heal, your sister/Jeff will keep me going and your many friends will help keep you alive in all our minds and hearts. Dennis E. built your boys a bedroom at your sister's house immediately. They know that we WANT them and LOVE them. I can already see that Chase is very much like you and is already opening the car door for me and has that twinkle in his beautiful blue eyes he got from you. Colton is going to do something big with his brain like find a cure for cancer...I'm NOT kidding-he's so smart. They are both mannerly and respectful, responsible and loving (99.7% of the time). After the teenage years, I'm sure it will be 100% just like their Daddy. Now, rest in peace, dear son. I know that God has you in the palm of His hand. No worries, k?
Mom
P.S. AND ONE MORE THING! Johnny Walker is doing everything he can think of for his Wink's (JWs) boys. He loved you like a brother as did Jeff H., Jeff O., Chad, Robbie, Dennis and many, many more. There are some women too who are missing you alot besides your sister, me and Britts. I almost forgot that you can see that but I wanted YOU to know that I noticed. YOU ARE MY BOY and I love you from here to Manchuria and back 4747474747474747474747474747 times-oh to heck with it!to Infinity and BEYOND. See You Later Cowboy. XOXOXO

Though I only got to work with Justin on a couple of jobs in his time as a Troubleshooter in the East Valley, you could tell he was a good person who enjoyed the job. My sympathies to his children, family, and friends. May God comfort you all in this difficult time.

I poured concrete for Wink a few years ago. His dad stopped by and when he left, Wink kissed his dad and told him he loved him. I told Wink i thought that was real kool. I'll never forget that.

The bright smile and easy way of speaking made Justin a joy to be with. Those are but a few of the things that will keep him always in memory. Loving thoughts and prayers for those he has left behind for now.

I've only known Justin for a short time. I feel very lucky to have gotten to know him. He was truly a pleasure to work with. He always had a smile on his face and in his voice. He was always upbeat and ready to go. I will miss hearing his voice on the radio and the phone. We'll miss you 220 Winky! Rest in peace. My heartfelt sympathy to all of his family and friends.

220 Winkler... I can't believe I won't be hearing that or saying that anymore.
You are missed.. Your smile, your easy going nature, your ready laugh, your sincerity, and that twinkle in your eye that can lead to mischief.
As a troubleshooter, you willingly and happily helped many people in need of your expertise. I thank you and they thank you for your service.
Your legacy is something your family can be proud of.

I miss you, Justin.. Rest easy.. 220 signing off..

I am so sorry about the loss Justin especially at such a young age. You were a wonderful person and I am happy to have had an opportunity to be your friend over the years. Justin was always so easy going, funny, a die-hard Steelers fan, and an overall special person. I want to extend my condolences to his mother, children and family. God bless to you all!
