Mom just told me today of tragic loss of Justin. My heart goes out to all of you and your families. Just know he will never be far from your hearts. When Mom (Diana Cinque) told me, I remembered I had a Picture of Justin and I when we graduated Confirmation together at St. Pauls Church. He looked so handsome in his white tux, I feel lucky to have shared that moment with Justin. Sending Angel Hugs, Kelly (Cinque), David and Natalee Mitcham

Dear Justin
It's hard to say goodbye to you. You brought so much into our family. I'm so proud to be your Auntie. You grew from a cute little kid into a thoughtful, caring, loving person. I'm thankful that I moved home 5 years ago & had a chance to be a part of your life & know you as a man, husband & father. You are the best. The last day we had together was Fozzie's birthday. I can still see Jocelyn sitting on you lap, eating her cake & ice cream. It was a good day. Losing you has left a void that can never be filled.
I know you are home in heaven & I will see you again. I love you Jay.
Aunt Linda

Justin, my friend, my brother… Words cannot describe how much I’m going to miss you. Growing up with you and your family in our lives has been a gift that I will forever be grateful for. So many good times, so many special moments and so many memories keeps a smile on my face even as we all face the terrible fact that we all are missing you. Tears are there as well, but it’s because we need more people like yourself in this world, not less.

The special bond we and our friends had growing up will not and can not ever be broken. Even in death, you’ve continued sharing that special gift of yours, bringing people together.

In so many ways, you’ve made others lives richer simply by being the person you are. Your daughter is a beautiful little girl with such a sweet smile and gentle giggle. She is yet another gift you have giving to the world, it will be a brighter place because of her. Thanks to you and Holona for creating such a special cute little girl.

Being the Best Man at your wedding was an honor that I wish I could repay. When it comes time for me to commit my life to such a beautiful woman, you can bet you’ll be there. You’ll always be by my side and always in my heart. My kids will know about you and I will pass on to them your example of what it truly means to be a good person.

You were such a cute little 3yr old when you and your sister moved to Hamilton Dr. My daughter, Fawn, used to babysit you. Now you will watch over your family from heaven.

Justin,

I was in shock when my Mom called to tell me what happened.
I can barely remember when you guys moved in - I think you were about 3 yrs old. I remember how much Kool-Aid we all drank every summer, easter egg hunts, Town Park, the first days of school, babysitting - so many things.
After you got to be an adult - it boggled my mind that you were the same "kid". Ditto when you got married. I can't believe the time went by so fast. You were a very good person & a wonderful younge man. You will be missed by many.

I am so sorry for your loss. Justin and my son Shane who was killed by a drunk driver 11 years ago, were friends. there is no greater pain than the loss of a child or sibling. I know your pain and you are all in my prayers. God Bless you all

Justin you were one of the best people I ever had the pleasure to meet. A man like you who truly cared about others is a rarity, and we will all miss you dearly. To Justin's family. Justin was the type of person who touched everyone that he met. He was a great man, and I am happy to have been able to call him a friend.
