What can I say about Justin?  Well, for one he was probably the tallest man I've ever known.  I'll always remember huggin' him and being mad because I wasn't anywhere near that height.  The fact that I was his sister just made me madder!  Where's my height, Justin?  .. I'm glad he grew up to be so tall though - needed a lot of space to store all the kindness and love he carried around with him.  I could see from all the pictures he took that he loved everyone around him and thoroughly enjoyed their presence - just as we enjoyed his.   My only regret in life will be that I didn't get to spend more time with him and experience that beautiful soul he had firsthand.  
You were the best brother a girl could ask for, Justin.  Love you so so much.  Rest easy, pal.  

Justin invited me to a Thunderbolts game and I went to one.  He told me he would meet me there. So I got my ticket and went to the row and my seat. And these kids were running around acting like a fool. I thought he did not show up. So second intermission came, I left. The next day, I saw him at work. I said hey thanks for standing me up, joking.  He said I was sitting in the row you walked down and even yelled your name. And even yelled at you when you left. 
I don’t have that ticket, I gave it to those kids, but I do have that memory. 
For that, I thank you my friend.

Justin was such a great guy!  We loved talking about hockey and Android verses Apple.  He's a Blackhawks fan and I'm a Ducks fan.  One day, I came into work and he was wearing a Ducks hat and I had to give him a hard time about changing his team.  He didn't, of course, he just liked the design of the hat so much he said, that he had to get it.  We had such a great laugh over that and so many other talks.  I am beyond heartbroken for his wife and daughter, his family and all of us friends that he left behind, but I know deep in my heart that Justin did such a great job making great memories with his wife and daughter, his family, his friends and anyone he came in contact with, that he will live on through those memories.  He leaves a legacy of kindness and humor that we can all cherish. 
 Our prayers for all of you continue daily.  

Justin was funny, kind, and had the biggest heart of anyone I’ve ever met. He would literally give you the shirt off his back. He loved his wife and daughter more than life itself. They were his everything. His eyes actually lit up when he talked about Bekah. Heather was the love of his life,  and he didn’t mind telling you that. Justin exemplified the love of Christ in so many ways. Funny quick story; I  teased him once about his name after Justin Bieber came along, he was quick with a response and said “Well, it’s Reiber, not Beiber for one thing, and I’m pretty sure unlike the other Justin, no one could mistake me for a girl , so...” he was so funny!! We need more Justin Reibers in this world!!!! My heart is with this family who has to say goodbye to this wonderful man way too soon. You will be together again. Bekah, if all Dads loved their kids as much as yours loved you, the world would be so much better. Always remember that, sweet girl. 

to michael and kathy roberts i am so sorry for your loss of your son in law. may god be with you all!

I remember so many things about Justin, but the one thing that stands out in my mind the most, is that he gave his Grandpa a run for his money on witty humor. LOL, more than once Dave would try to get him in line by using sarcasm or witty humor, instead of actual discipline. Dave was not good at discipline, as we all knew. Justin would just respond with a better, wittier response... and the competition began! It was like a contest, cause Dave was definitely competitive. Justin knew just which button to push. 😆 It worked, cause it diverted attention from getting in trouble. Love that kid, and the man that he became. I'm so glad he met Heather, and so grateful for Bekah. ❤️ I'll always love them all.
