Justin Franklin Canady

April 16, 1992 – July 22, 2016

Raleigh

Born and raised in Raleigh, North Carolina, Justin was a graduate of Millbrook High School.

Left to remember Justin with love are father Jeffrey Franklin Canady and stepmother Mary Jo Wideburg Canady; mother Trisha ("Trish") Marie Willnow Canady Fulp and stepfather Philip Keith ("Keith") Fulp; sisters Olivia Margaret Canady and Allison ("Allie") Leah Fulp and brother Charles ("Charlie") Tristan Canady; grandparents Maurice Franklin Canady and Sandra Janette Everett Canady, Eugene Charles Willnow and Kathryn ("Kathy") Ann Willnow, Norman Earl Wideburg and Joy Ruth Kelly Wideburg, and Ronald ("Ron") Owen Fulp and Brenda Tatum Fulp. He was predeceased by grandmother Patricia Fox Willnow Gray.

In this earthly life, he was overcome by heroin, but Justin has now overcome death by his commitment to his Savior, Jesus Christ. We are blessed in remembering Justin through an impromptu video testimony that he gave just a week ago: "Since I surrendered my heart and soul to Jesus Christ, I love myself, I love my family, I love life. My life is worth something today, and I have goals and hope for the future. And it gets better as long as I put God first."

Justin was bursting with energy and had no brakes. He was either starving or incredibly full. That thing he just ate – it was the best thing he'd ever had! He'd try anything. Justin wore his heart and his emotions on his sleeve. He loved little kids and loved aggravating his siblings. Justin had a big and sensitive heart. He loved to laugh and loved to make people laugh.

A memorial service will be held Saturday July 30, 2016 at 11:00AM at C3 Church, 8246 Cleveland Rd, Clayton, NC 27520 with a time of fellowship following the service. Interment of ashes will be private.

We would like to extend our thanks for the tremendous outpouring of support from friends and family, with a special thanks to Alan and Anisa Larson, who brought Justin to his faith in the power of Jesus Christ and who provided him with a loving second family over the last several months, and also to all at Healing Transitions and C3 Church who were an extended family for Justin.

Memorial contributions may be made to: Healing Transitions (healing-transitions.org) or C3 Church (c3church.com).

To the rest of the family, my heart is breaking beside yours. I loved that boy.

Justin, when you were young, you took Spencer under your wing. Even though you were 10 years older than him, you always spent time with him anyway. I still remember taking you to your tennis lessons - just hanging out together and talking. I always considered you a friend - even though I was 22 years older than you. There was something special about you. You had a beautiful soul and a wonder about you. I will forever miss you.

Justin, in my memory, was a beautiful young man with a bright smile, a big heart and loving core. His presence will be missed while his impact will stay in our world. Gone far too soon, may he forever rest in peace.

The joy that his smile radiated was so inspiring. Eventough only met him a few months back, I felt a joy knowing him and knowing he made the best decision of his life by commiting himself to the Lord Jesus Christ and got Baptized. May you rest in peace and enjoy the glory with our Heavenly Father
