Very very sorry for your loss. I remember Justin as an energetic, bright and funny kid during my time as assistant Scout master and during our trip to Philmont. As a parent, it is unimaginable to think of loosing my son, my heart aches at the pain you are experiencing. My thoughts are with you and may you find peace in the memory of a life well lived. -Nathan

It was a privilege getting to know Justin in high school through marching band and pep band. You could always count on Justin to put a smile on your face (especially when he came to practice with a pocket full of french fries). His attitude was contagious. God hand-picked Justin to be an angel by his side, and while I will miss him greatly, I know he is being taken care of by Our Lord. Deepest sympathies to Justin's family and sweet Miss Emily.
