Justin, only now can you truly know how much I love you. Your Mom and I were pregnant together (she was two months ahead of me) & the cravings drove us to Dairy Queen right next door to your mom's appartment. We, (You & Josh, en-utero) your mom and myself would eat a "Peanut Buster Parfiet," then go back to your mothers apartment and chase it with a fresh cup of coffee.
From day one I was there for you, and your mom was my best friend.
I will miss you bringing people to my house, telling who ever was with you, "Oh Ya she'll have food, its my Aunt Kathy." I thank you for trusting me with your precious son for those few years, that was a long way for you to drive for daycare. I thank you for all the kisses you were never to embarassed to give me, all the "I love you's" you said in front of anyone. I charish your babyhood, childhood, and MOST of your adolescents and adulthood, :-} There really are no words, nor enough of them. Every day I think of you when I see a bike or a fast car or the song that your Aunt Sarah sang so Beautifully at your "memorial."
I WIll see you again. I love you now and forever baby boy (who grew to such a man) I promise you honey I will uphold your mother in her pain -when she'll let me- (private joke between me thee and thy mom)
Deeply sorrowed by our loss,
Your loving Aunt Kathy.

Justin,
We had some great times in C.A.P. You were a good friend then, and I regret that we lost touch. It is unnerving to think that we only just ran into each other less than a month or two ago again on a wim. Funny how Christina Miske was the unifying subject that brought familiarity to our faces as we struggled to recognize each other in the TIMES cafe. I am forever grateful for your friendship, and the brief time on this earth that our lives intersected.
Your brother in arms,
J.D.

Good Bye Justin. We were very close in CAP as teenagers. I will miss you greatly and keep our memories close to my heart. I am sad to have not found you again before you left us. You were always a great friend and may you find joy in your next adventure beyond here.

Justin I love you and always will. You lived life too the fullest every moment of your life. Michael is so much like you, when you were young. I’m excited to know him, Ryene, and Evan as they grow-up. This would be a way for me to know you as a young man. Thank you for the thousands of miles spent on the bike together, awake and asleep. Your part of everything now and can be at peace.
I love you son

You were my hero, my protector, one of my very best friends. Your love for life and love for others touched everyone you ever came in contact with. You were passionate about everything. You were always willing to teach when someone didn't know. And be taught when they did. I can't imagine my life without you in it. I love you very much. Thank you for who you were. Thank you for who you made me.

Justin was a free spirit who lived his life on his own terms. I never met a person who didn't like him. I'm thankful for the time I knew him, and for giving us 3 beautiful great nephews and nieces and 2 wonderful nieces.

To Justin's Friends and Family-
My wife and I are deeply sorry to hear of your loss. We really didn't have the opportunity to hang out much with him but there will be things that we will always remember. Like when Justin brought Kyle to Paintball one year with a few of the guys from ESI. Or just the fact that Justin was nice enough to play a game of pool with me after my wife and I said our vows..... I needed the break and he was nice enough to oblige me. :D
We cannot imagine what you all must be going though right now. But please know that we are here should you ever need anything of us.

From day one, your confidence and charm were what made you such a joy! No matter the situation, you strived for the best and to be the best...whether it be in bikes, cars, job positions, parenting, big brother duties, intelligent conversations or even in arguments! LOL! I will remember your infectious grin, like the one on Mikey's face. What inevitably comforts us from here on out are the 3 beautiful children you left behind to give us plenty of hugs, kisses and smiles that let us know you're still here. Thank you so much for what you were and all you will be to each and every one of us. "Here's to seeing you in all the old familiar places!"

Justin, your zest for life has always been my inspiration. I miss you and love you, and you will be with me always in my heart. We are all truly blessed with the three beautiful children that are a part of you, and they will be watched over and taken care of by all your family and friends for the rest of their lives. All my love forever, my Son.

You will never be forgotten. And I will make sure that your memories live on in our son Michael. He looks more and more like you everyday. I know you are at peace now and that you can finally rest. You will be greatly missed.

For the good times or bad, I loved you dearly and with all my heart. The pain of the memories and plans we made but never got to catch me off guard and I find myself forgetting to breathe. Our children are what's left of us and I will treasure them with all my heart. I will always remember the love that we shared on our wedding day and the feeling between us when we were alone together. In my heart you will always be my husband. I love you.
