I come here often and read the things poeple have said about you Justin and you are all of those and more. I miss you very much! The 4th of July just passed and I miss those times we all spent together as a family lighting off fireworks and someone catching something on fire and Grandma yelling to get the hose and put the fire out. I know your brother misses you more than words can even express. I know in my heart you are in a better place but we sure miss you. Come visit us - we are waiting!!

I want to thank the family of Justin Eilers for the amazing support, words of wisdom, hugs and love towards me. To Justin's father. I would never have made it to his casket without your escort and I'm glad I saw him one last time. Gwen, you are amazing, dried my tears and treated me like family, as did the rest of the family. Traun, you are a great big brother and remind me so much of Justin. You have my support for the rough times ahead. Dan and Linda, what can I say. Two more special people and Dan you are a crack up and kept me smiling. Last but not least to Justin's best friend, Brandon. I am so happy we met and I'm sure we will always be friends. I WILL catch more fish than you fly fiishing. To all the generous people at the auction. Tyson will benefit from all your donations and I know Justin's family are grateful. I've never met such a great bunch of friends and I thank everyone for all the love and respect you had for Justin and shared with me. Justin, I know you heard me praying and your death has changed my life in the most unbelievable and positive way. We were meant to cross paths and I'll see you again sometime. Come visit me sometime will you.

I have always respected people by they way they treat my kids. From the time that my boys started training at Brandon's gym they feel in love with both Brandon and Justin. That told me a lot about Justin, and how he was a great person and wonderful father. He was a great friend to Gary and someone that my boys looked up to. For that I'm grateful that he was a part of their life. We will miss and always remember him for the person that is was.

Justin. I am heartbroken to lose you so soon. In the short time we were together I felt you shared a lot with me and I will treasure our talks and special moments for a very long time to come. I had mixed feelings of sadness and joy when your friends shared with me you thought I was as special as I think you are. I wish I could have known you better, but Brandon has shared some of his memories and stories with me. Brandon is a true friend in every sense of the word and he loved you to death, but you knew that. You were kind, loving and adoring towards me. You made me feel special again. Your passing is so tragic and way too soon. I went to your viewing today. Your family was very kind and I appreciate it. You father walked me up to see you and it gave me some closure. I would have never been able to make that walk on my own. I meant what I whispered to you and I know you are flying high and at peace. I have so much more to share with you but I'll share that with you in my prayers. My deepest sympathy to your family for the greif they are feeling now and surely will feel in the future. I feel out of my grief I will gain wisdom and goodness. I already have and wouldn't had I not met you. I will hold a special piece of you in my heart forever.

Justin trained at out gym. I spoke each day with him for 4 months and he played college football for Craig Rigsbee who was my best friend growing up. Justin was a fantastic human being and an extremely hard worker. His talents were eveident and his flame was blown out far to soon!
May we all celebrate his life this week and honor his son Tyson!

Justin will forever be in our hearts! I tresure all the nights we would lock him and Traun out of our room to spare our barbie dolls heads, all the rocks that were thrown at us girls, all the nights we would ask " mom do we have to play with them...they are BOYS"?? I am forever thankful for the time he spent with my son when we came home to visit. I called him and he stopped everything that he was doing and came to my moms house to see my son and then took him to the gym. Even before Tobias met Justin in person he had pictures all over his room of him. He knew all of Justins stats and would watch his fights on youtube daily. I will forever miss you cousin! My heart goes out to all the family that will miss him as much as I do. Gwen may have parted from our "family" but you will always be my aunt. I love all the memories we all made together! Love all of you!

It is no secret that Justin and I had our ups and our downs. Obviously there was a great love there at one time that resulted in our son! We never married or continued a loving relationship, but knew the most important thing was to create a great friendship bond for our son. Justin would take both my boys for weekend adventures and treat them both as if they were his. I loved him for that! He never judged me for moving on and having a life or more family after him and I ended. He just tried to be there for me when I needed him, and help as a parent. My daughter looked at him as a father figure since the young age of 3. Even recently was looking towards him for fatherly advice about teenage life. Justin and I moved on with life but wierdly had a different kind of love for one another. That I will never forget, and don't think that I want to. Justins mother from the beginning of our relationship has treated me as if i were her very own daughter. Even through the ups and downs, she has stayed by my side to love me as her own. She treats all of my children as her grandchildren. I will remain by her side through this hard time. I promise to never let your son forget about you Justin! He will live on for you! ~Melanie~

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
