I was Justin's former roommate in Chinatown Seattle. I used to watch him cook late at night with audrey. We cracked each other up with stories trying to keep sane in the horrible conditions we were living in. I heard news just few hrs ago. My heart is breaking. I made it out of there buddy and i am so sad and angry you left that place the way you did. I will miss you and will think of you always

With a heavy heart I send this message.
Justin as a student was inquisitive and eager to learn every facade of baking. As a person Justin was never without a smile and to him there was never a problem which had no solution. What would have been will never be known, what will remain is the lasting impression made on those who knew him. Please accept my deep condulances on behalf of me and my family.

I am sorry for your loss and no mother should have to go through this. Justin will surely missed, and know he is in a better place.
John 16:20- 23
Very truly I tell you, you weep and mourn while the world rejoices. You will grieve, but your grief will turn to joy. A women giving birth to a child has pain because her time has come; but when her baby is born she forgets the anguish because of her joy that a child is born into the world. So with you: Now is your time of grief but I will see you again and you will rejoice and no one will take away your joy. In that day you will no longer ask me anything. Very truly I tell you, my Father will give you whatever you ask in my name.

Nothing fully prepares us
For the passing of someone dear
The news comes like a piercing sound
Foreign to the ear
Even if we were forewarned
Of what was to occur
It doesn't ease the pain
It doesn't quell the hurt
Sometimes it blindsides us
Nothing we would expect
It shakes us and it breaks us
We've no chance to object
We're left reeling from the shock
Staggering from the sting
Trying to make sense
Of all that's happening
Wondering how we'll make it
Without their presence near
Questioning how we'll go on
Through the ache and through the fear
Knowing somehow we must proceed
But still not sure quite how
Going through the motions
Is how we function now
One second, hour, day at a time
That's how you make it through
You say, I can't ever see
How I will make it without you?
But, this one thing I have
That no one can tear apart
Is the memory I hold of you
Close within my heart.
So, with memories so precious
We go forward day by day
Honoring the one we love
In a special way
Their presence will be missed
Their absence has left a void
But their deposit into our lives
Has left an undeniable joy
And as we live each day
Holding the gift of them in our hearts
We honor their very essence
A love that won't depart

Oh Justin. I am stunned by your loss. You were a wonderful student, and a wonderful person, and I am so happy you touched my life, even if it was too briefly.
All my sympathy to your family in their loss. Shine on, bright star.

Stephanie and family
Words cannot express your pain or sorrow today. I remember when Justin was just a baby such a cutie pie as we were all growing up on Maple street. May God continue to keep his arms stretched all around the entire friends and family members as you go through this trying time. Justin has earned his wings and his grandmom Bonnie is waiting for him.
My deepest sympathy
