My deepest sympathy goes out to the Ayers and Byran families. Justin was truly a great kid all the way around, Nancy the one thing that stands out the most is how he memorized "The Lord is My Shepard". He is with the Lord now, and you have an Angel in heaven watching over you.......Darlene and Sean Faulkner

Dear Ayers Family and friends,
Our first thought of Justin is that of Shady Hills football! He always gave it everything he had, and tried so hard ! He and our son were on the team as youngsters, and my daughter was cheerleading for them as well. They have gone to HS together. We just want to extend our sincere condolences, and to let you know we are keeping Justin and you, in our prayers. You are not alone in your sorrow. Justin is all around you..........

Justin was a great guy, he was one of the few football players who would talk to me like I was normal. I'm so sorry that this had to happen to someone like him.

Justin,
Since the day I met you I knew you were a special person. You were determined and intelligant, but most importantly you were close to God. You knew your relationship with him very well, and that is a gift that not many people have. You have always held a place in my heart and you always will. You are loved by many and will never be forgotten.
Nancy,
My heart goes out to you because I know Justin is and always was your angel. You are a very strong woman and you always gave Justin the love he needed.
R.I.P Justin

Just a few months ago Justin and I were in classes together, joking together and going through those hard football practices together. Now with the tragedy of his passing I feel I have lost a piece of myself.
We are truly saddened by the passing of Justin, and we are praying for the Ayers family.

Justin and I had a true God experience. He lived in my home for 13 years. We had a steady stream of friends flowing in and out of this house especially these last 3 years. I cannot tell you what a blessing Justin was i my life. For those of you who truly knew and loved Justin, you knew that he would not want you to be sad. He is in the arms of our loving savior. Justin and I had many long conversations about God and his existence. I merely pointed out to him how I became his mom. It had to be an act of God...a true blessing for me to be such a big part of his life. My heart is shattered..and if not for you kids and parents alike calling and stopping by for a hug or a word of condolence I would be in bad shape...But the love and happy memories we shared together with Justin, keep me going. He will be forever loved and missed. I love you ...Justin...Mom

We were so sorry to hear about Justin. We knew Justin for many years through PPAL and also playing
at River Ridge High School. He was
a great friend to Blake and we will
greatly miss seeing him at our home.
He was a great person and we will

I've known Justin since I was about 7. I grew up playing baseball with him. It's such a shame that he's gone now. He will be dearly missed by so many. Our hearts go out to the Ayers family.

Since Heaven has become your home
I sometimes feel I'm so alone:
and though we now are far apart
you hold a big piece of my heart.

I never knew how much I'd grieve
when it was time to leave,
or just that one fragment you would take.

God lets this tender hole remain
reminding me we'll meet again,
and one day all the pain will cease
when He restores this missing piece.

He'll turn to joy my every tear
with thoughts of you I hold so dear,
and they'll become my special way to treasure Reunion Day.

A poem to share in rememberance
of a well loved young man of God

My thoughts and prayers are
with the family.
Sincerely, Larry and Susan Sims

I met Justin in fifth grade and it was great to just be around him. He was always carefree and full of jokes, it was impossible to not be happy around him. He was a great person and it is terrible what has happened. I wish I could attend the service but my thoughts are with his family. God bless them all.

I knew Justin from the time he was 7 years old. I was with Justin when he got his first stitches (8 years old) in his chin after horsing around with my son Branden. He took the stitches like a man and was ready to get back to horsing around.
Over the years I've watched Justin develop into quite a fine respectful young man, one that any parent would be proud to call their own. Coach Ayers, you did a fine job!
God bless you Justin we will miss you!

Justin was a great kid to be around. He used to come over to my house and visit my daughter. We would talk for a long time about football and other sports, often to my daughter's dismay. He will surely be missed. The world is a lesser place without him. God bless his family, especially his Grandfather, Richard. You are an awesome example of a grandparent. I only hope I can be as good.

I'm
very sad that you lost your child. I will be praying for you and your
family. Lance, If I'm not mistaken, you and I attended Shady Hills
Elementary together in the 1970's. I can't express enough how sorry I
am. Annette Guy

Wow. I still can't believe that he is gone. They say that the Lord works in mysterious ways, and I now truely believe that. Justin was one of the nicest guys at school. He was always full of life and energy. He is already missed, greatly.
Rest In Peace Justin.
