Justin was independent and adventurous, with a natural ability to work with his hands and figure things out. He was mechanically gifted and enjoyed taking things apart, fixing them, and finding ways to make things work. He worked in light construction and handyman services, using his skills to help others with their projects and repairs.
Justin loved the outdoors and enjoyed fishing, hunting, camping, hiking, and riding ATVs. He was always up for an adventure and enjoyed spending time doing the things he loved.
Sports were a big part of Justin's life. He was a die-hard Kansas City Chiefs fan and proudly stood by his team. He also loved the Colorado Avalanche, Alabama football (Roll Tide!), and Duke basketball. Justin loved talking sports and bantering with others, always ready for a little friendly debate about his favorite teams. If you knew Justin, you probably knew exactly which teams he cheered for!
Justin also enjoyed the simple things in life, like playing Skip-Bo with his grandma and hanging out with his family and friends. Those moments together created special memories that will always hold a place in our hearts.
As his family, we will remember Justin for his adventurous nature, his ability to fix just about anything, his love of the outdoors and sports, and the moments we shared together. We will hold close the memories, the laughter, and all the little things that made him who he was.
Losing Justin so unexpectedly has left a hole in our hearts that words cannot fully express. He was our son, and he will always be a part of us. We are grateful for the memories we have and will carry them with us always and forever.
John 14:27 - Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.
