I tried to live in this old world, and I did the best I could, but when God reached out His hand,
I grabbed on and was led home.
I know God will open wide your understanding as to why these things must be.
Dying is only a part of living, therefore celebrate my life…

Justin was a nurturing young man who attended the public schools of Bastrop County and Tarrant County.
Justin was very compassionate when spending time with family and friends. He was loved by all. His personality was kind, loving, and positive, especially when he was with his children, whom he was very proud to be their father.
