My thoughts and prayers go out to the family of Justin. I only met him once and was very impressed with how nice he was.
May God watch over him and bless all the family.
Although we only knew each other for a short while, we became pretty close. You are a great person; sweet, funny, kind, perfect gentleman. You will be greatly missed by many- I know you had a lot of good friends. I will keep your family in my prayers.
Justin,
You were a great person with a kind heart and great sense of humor. You will truly be missed by the Stevens family.

I knew Justin through the Air Force. Even though he got out years ago we still kept in conctact, probably twice a month or more. He was proabbly the closet friend i’ve made through the military. I went to Lousiana to visit him and had a blast while he showed me where he came from. I know he’s in a better place but definately will be missed.
my heart hurts for you my dear sweet friend love you much barbara
