Hoofy your one of the people I would visit alot about anything. We could site and talk for hours on end and even get caught up in watching some sick videos. You would always be willing to help with advice and input on anything electrical. I remember always having a special someone that would come back in the bay and set there and say I needed to stop bothering you lol. The best time I had was when we would talk about all the dumb stuff we did and the accidents we had. I remember the days when you, bb, Kurt and I use to show off who had some of the loudest street systems in town everything from the old Cavalier, Hurst, Explorers, and so forth. The conversations we had and the laughs we shared will never be forgotten and will always be held dear to me. Thank you bro

Justin, you will be sadly be missed. So many of your creations will be a reminder, when I see them rolling around town. You were a inspiration to so many with a gift of making it look easy and fearing nothing when it came to jumping into tearing into anything with wheels apart, all of which I can relate, but what always blew my mind was you had the ability to see an automobile as if it was a piece of canvas, that is something I tried to see, and never could. I will keep trying to understand colors the way you did, all I can do is try. R.I.P.

My heartfelt love and prayers. Justin and I became friends when Cayden decided to come early. I was a florist. Weekly he would make sure I helped him. He loved his family. He loved God. We talked a lot about Gods gift of flowers! Justin always wanted a smaller flower bud to represent Cayden. You have a wonderful son may he now rest.

He spent a lot of time at Protrux hanging out & helping my husband, & when he passed away last year Justin was so kind to check in with me every so often to see how the kids & I were doing. The love he had for his family was always so obvious & my heart breaks for the loss you've all endured.
