We were so very, very saddened to hear about Justin. Lots of memories came back of younger, and more carefree times. His smile was as big as the fish he liked to catch, and will always be remembered. Our prayers are with Don, Justin's mom, and all of the loved ones and dear friends he left behind. Deepest condolences from Ron, Jennifer, and Kyle Edman
