"Justin was a really great person and turned into an even better man with time. I will miss him dearly . He made a huge impact in my life. Was my best friend for many years. He made my high school years fly by. He always made everyone around him laugh with his funny sense of humor. Was the best track athlete I've ever met and always worked so hard to become better. He not only was a excellent athlete he so had amazing grades. He was always a person to look up to. He will always hold a special place in my heart. My deepest condolences to his entire family. I will be praying for all of you . God bless you Justin. I hope my Nana will watch over you . ?? "

"Regina and family, Death leaves heartache behind that is impossible for one to ever heal. Love leaves behind memories that no one can ever steal. I hope the memories you have shared will one day bring a sense of peace to you. There are no words that will ever make sense during times like this. Time does not heal just makes us stronger at hiding our true heartache. May God give you the courage and strength to make it threw this! Always "
