I really didnt believe that it was true when I was told at 7:00 that morning. I couldnt believe that I had just talked to him 2 days before. I am really sorry that this had to happen, he was a great kid and a real good friend, he was like my big brother, always protected me, and I'll never forget it!

It's sad that his life had to end at the age of 19 and now he wont be able to reach the age where he sees his kids grow up a become men. It's sad that that he wont ever be able to hear his kids say daddy again. Justin touched my heart and always will be kept there.
