Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine.--Isaiah 43.

Justin was born ready to explore and enjoy his world. He had a great love for the outdoors, and enjoyed playing baseball for which he had a natural talent. He had the sweetest disposition and was loved by all who were lucky enough to know him.
Justin graduated from Nolan Catholic High School in 2007. He attended TCC.
Mijo, we feel so honored and blessed to be your parents and brother. We cherished every minute of your 20 short years with us. You will forever live in our hearts.
He was preceded in death by his great-grandmothers, Frances Trujillo and Aurelia Huizar, and great-uncles, Armando Valderas, Juan Valderas, Joe Valderas and William P. Calva.
Survivors: Loving parents, Danny and Rebecca Calva; brother and friend, Joshua Calva and girlfriend, Michelle Escalante; grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. John F. Calva and Mr. and Mrs. Adolph Huizar; and many uncles, aunts, cousins and friends who love him dearly.

I know it doesn't ever get any easier but at least he had a lot of people that loved him and cared for him while he was still here on Earth.

Justin- I was writing on my brothers Obit and got the urge to look at yours. You were an amazing guy with the biggest heart. I wasnt as close to you as "sacck" but I do know that whenever I was around you there was a constant smile on my face. You are missed and loved by so many! Please watch over everyone and keep them safe.

I did not know Justin. I did have the pleasure of meeting Mr Calva tonight though. What a guy! I am very sorry for your loss, I can not imagine what you have been going through. If Justin was anything like his dad I know he was genuine kid. Your story touched my heart and your family is in my prayers.

Joe Ercole

August 5, 2009

Wow . . . all I can say is wow. This is so unbelievably terrible to hear. I knew Justin in a game I played years ago. Most of us had no idea he was much younger than us until he mentioned his age. We couldn't believe that such a mature, friendly, smart, talented, and kind-hearted person could be as young as he was.

What a horrible loss. I hope his parents are doing as well as they can be.

Amanda Pierfelice

January 22, 2009

Josh~ i had a dream about you and your brother about a week ago. it was so weird. I think about you guys all the time. I hope everyday gets the slightest bit better...and if it isnt now...it will eventually because justin will make it happen.

Becky, it's a new year and a new day. I have prayed for a year to dream of my loss son Bud. January 1st it happened. There were so many around him. He wasn't alone. Our sons will never be alone and neither will we. It's hard to keep the doors open for those who want to help. Hard to take help from those who care. You will go to bed one night and say to yourself, I had a good day, and look forward for more to come. As I write this message to you, if you are like me. I woke each morning not to read if anyone has written, but to know I'm not still asleep. With all my strength and love, Someone who knows. Patty Saenz

Peter Treviño

October 27, 2008

To Danny and Becky, and Josh:

Although our Justin is no longer with us, we should all feel blessed to have had such a beautiful soul with us for 20 years. Often, the brightest flame burns quickest, and Justin was truly the brightest. Especially his smile. I've had many sleepless nights since my cousin passed on, trying to make sense of it all and I've come to the realization that this world just wasn't good enough for Justin. Rarely does God make such a beautiful creature, and in realizing this, God blessed us with enough time to show the world through Justin, that truly good people do exist, and that if anyone ever doubted God was real, Justin would be proof that indeed He was. Thinking of this helps me get through the days, and memories of my cousin console me when the tears flow. Justin couldn't have had a more loving, caring family in you Danny, Becky, and Josh, and that's precisely why God gave Justin to you many years ago. He knew you would do a wonderful job in loving, protecting, and caring for one of His masterpieces and you certainly did not disappoint Him.

Justin: You were like the little brother I never had. I watched you grow up into the fine young man you came be and I am honored to have had you in my life. It is sad for us and we are all going to miss you, but deep down in my heart, I feel that we should all be so lucky as you. You passed from the arms of a loving family, to the arms of God in the blink of an eye without an ounce of pain. Only God grants His finest that privilege. During the ceremonies of your passing, I overheard "Poor Justin" a few times in reference to your death, but it is us who are poor, for our days will never be as bright, and our hearts will forever have a void that could never be filled. Thank you for everything Justin. Thank you for your smile, your laughter, your stories, your trust, your friendship, and your love. Thanks to you, I'm a better person today, just like every life you touched during your lifetime. When parting ways with people, I make it a point to never say goodbye. Goodbye sounds so permanent to me. So to you Justin, I say bye, because we will meet again.

He was just beginning to live his life and that is so sad that his life was cut so short. Just know as hard as it is he is in a better place now. He is up in heaven looking down on all of u and that one day all of u will be reunited as a family up there for eternity. And, with time things will get easier. Justin will live on in everyone's hearts.I will continue to keep all of u in my thoughts and prayers.I'm so glad Josh has such a great person like Michelle to be by his side in all this.Much love to the family and friends.

I didn't know Justin for too long, I worked with him for the entire year he was at Park West. I remember the first day he started, it was the happiest day of my life. I thought he was the cutest guy ever, his smile caught me way off guard, it was so beautiful! He was always such a good friend. I never liked going to work on the days he was off, they always seemed so dull. He always brightened my day. I didn't get to see him thursday because i was off that day, but i did call him for his birthday, to wish him a good one. He was exactly ten days older than me. When i called him he kept saying thanks and he told me he'd see me thursday, i told him well i don't work thursday, then he said well i'll see you friday, i said well i still dont work friday, he said okay then I'll definately see you saturday...I'm still waiting for that saturday.
You raised an amazing person. I will always have him in my heart, like the many girls i had a crush on him too. My prayers are with your family, also the prayers of my family. And Josh, i dont know you and you dont know me, but justin talked about you and how amazing you are, i'll say an extra prayer for you, I also have a younger brother and your speech the other night really touched me. My baby brother is the world to me, i can't imagine how you feel right now. But i'm going to pray, one older sibling to another. Take care all of you and know that your son and brother will truely be missed and always remembered.

I was shocked to hear what happened to Justin. He was a good friend for the time i knew him. i was in DFW for a little over a year for a tech school. i worked with Justin and for the period of time i knew him, he was the nicest, coolest guy i met. I was hoping one day he would get some time off to come visit me in San Antonio but now he cant, but at least he can visit me in my thoughts and prayers. Ill see you later buddy, i guess until then, watch over us, family and friends.

Jane Hayes

October 22, 2008

It breaks my heart for you to be going through this. I am so sorry.

My deepest sympathy is with you all as you remember and celebrate Justin's brief, but very memorable life. I taught Justin at St. John's in kindergarten, and evidently, from all that I've read here, the very kind, happy, and friendly young boy grew to be an awesome friend to many and a joy to be around. I'm not surprised at all. May God surround you with His undying Hope, and blanket you with His promise of love, as your guardian angel Justin lights up heaven with his dazzling smile! My thoughts and prayers are with you always.

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Calva,
It's hard to believe that Justin is gone. I can remember those days when me and him would just sit in my backyard and play in the blue tube we called "the time machine." We used to always talk about going back and given it one more ride. Justin and I didn't speak much when we moved, but when i got to Nolan and saw him around he always acknowledged me. He was an amazing childhood friend and i will never forget him.
