Hey dad… I’m writing this for you even though your not here, I wish things went differently than they had, I wish mom never kept you away from me, I wish you were there more and we had a better bond, we had good talks and good laughs together and arguments but no matter what we were always there for each other, I wish I coulda opend my eyes more and realized how much I really needed you, I took a lot for granted and didn’t realize how short life really is. Losing you is possibly the hardest thing I’ve had to go through in a very long time, I cry all the time, I pray to god you’ll come back even when I know your not. you were such a fun person to talk to, I would watch videos of you and laugh all day, stories about you, you were such an amazing person, you could light up any room, I just wish I could have been there more, it’s hurts seeing people talk about you and talk about your kids and me never being in that talk, I know I may not be blood to you, but you’re always going to be my dad and in my eyes you are my blood dad, that’s how it always will be. I wish you didn’t give up so early dad, you had so much going for you, and I’m sorry if I ever hurt you or made you feel unworthy of love from me, I love you with a passion and I just wish I could have told you that one more time… I’m sorry daddy ~ I love you <3- syd

Justin. Without you showing up in my life randomly, I wouldn't have the wonderful life I have now. I completely forgot when I married the first time you were supposed to be there. Krista was supposed to come to Hawaii with my family but she couldn't do the trip alone, so she asked you and you said yes. Things happened and neither of you were able to attend, but I sure would have liked to have those extra years with you... to have known you prior to our random meeting. You were a rare gem, Justin. A person almost anyone could just "click" with. Your wit, your laugh (all of them), your random crazy but also safe acts just to make me smile. You came into my life at a point when I needed fresh friends, and you were there. Maybe not meeting you in Hawaii was God's way of giving me a nice gift at just the right time. Our shared love for horror movies (which you seemed to always borrow and never return... HMMM), our best friend Mat, dogs, food, children and one thing I found out about after your passing, art. I cannot believe in all those years I never knew of your love for art. I would have liked to have had conversations with you about art. I miss you. Some days are tough, some days are good. I know time heals wounds... I love you, Justin. Save me a spot on the couch and some popcorn :) Love, Landi

To the family and friends of Justin, I'd like to start off by sending my deepest condolences. Tragic loss of a great human, he was not your average human, he was very special! I've heard so many beautiful stories, some funny, sad, and heartwarming, but all were similar to how I felt about him. I met Justin about 11 years ago, his personality drew me in, and I'm sure like many gals, that smile made my heart melt, he was so dang handsome!! I had two young children at the time. My son being 7 and my daughter being 3. He never judged, only loved my kids unconditionally. He came with me to my sons first day of 1st grade and made sure that he took pictures for me to remember. "Ok, stand here, ok walk like this, action shot!, ok perfect" of course we laughed, not only was he making the moment special for my son and I but also unintentionally making memories as a couple, a positive male figure for my kids. My daughter attached to him so quickly, those two were inseparable. He loved that little girl so much and she loved him. When our relationship came to an end the bond with my children did not stop immediately, he still showed up for birthdays or just a quick stop by and say hi. Justin was so pure and genuine. I will never forget how understanding he was about everything. He would see my struggles every day of getting the kiddos ready for school and daycare and still having to make it to work. He would help and offer his help in every single way. Meeting his family was very important to him, I still remember the anxiety when he told me we were gunna go to his moms to watch Avatar, because his mom had a blue ray player and its SOOOOOO much better to watch it like that. Plus his brother, which he talked about ALL the time, was going to be there and I HAD to meet him. He knew I was super nervous but he had this way of helping me feel calm, he gave me the biggest hug as we got out of the car and it was like he took that fear away in an instant. His family was so inviting, kind, and just as amazing as he was. You all very much are still that way and I am so blessed that I was able to meet all of you!! Never had a dull moment with Justin, his laugh was so contagious, half the time I wasn't even laughing at what he said but laughing with him because he could find joy in almost anything. He will be missed. Rest in heaven you beautiful angel, you may be gone, but you're still here, inside the hearts of everyone you touched ❤ Love you long time stink butt!

So saddened to learn of anorher bright and cherished son, brother, nephew, father and friend to part from us. Justin and his sis Jade taught my pre-schooler the Jingle Bells song replacing the words with a twist I never imagined... my preschooler LOVED that evening as Auntie Ileen and I drove the kids all around town to see beautiful Christmas Lights and decorations. Yes, Justin was a fun and loving kid - a good person who suffered. Well, suffer no more young Justin. Forever 38 --- RIP son
