We've known Justin since he was a kid hanging with "C" and CJ, they were all so funny. Justin came to Myrtle Beach for Bike Week in 2006 with the family, we all had a blast, I remember sitting around the fire talking & laughing, My cousin Dave is a real funny guy who started messing with Justin because he was so shy. He tells Justin he has a hard time remembering his name so he's going to call him "Travis" because he can remember that name. Justin graciously agreed, we've called him "Travis" ever since then. It makes me laugh to remember that night. I'm so sorry he felt so alone, that he thought he didn't have anybody to talk to. He was so lonely yet surrounded by those who loved him so much. RIP "Travis".

Justin was a great friend. In school n out. He was always there if you needed him for any thing. When I saw the news on face book. It hurt me becaues i just lost a love one and a 2 other friends. Now i just lost a great friend that helped me out in school all the time. He will be loved and missed. But i know one thing he will always live in our hearts. I will have u in my prays.

Justin was one of the first people I met in high school. I remember it was freshmen year, first semester, and in this career/finding course right before he transferred to JROTC. He sat right in front me and passed me a note to say "Hi". I thought it was a sweet gesture because it was my "first day" in high school where I did not know anyone. Here was this nice guy talking to me and trying to make me feel comfortable. He was a sweet and wonderful person. Even though he and I didn't become best of friends, but he was one of those people that just stood out from the rest and could not be forgotten. He was and will continue to be a wonderful person in my memory.

 Memories

Memories last forever,
they keep us going on.

For they are all we have,
When one of us is gone.

Memories are like sunsets,
So beautiful and full of color.

Full of peace and serenity,
They fill our hearts like no other.

They make us laugh,
They make us smile,
Some make us shed a tear.

My memories of him are precious
and my heart holds them all so dear.  

They are god’s special gift,
without them we could not survive.

Some good, Some sad, 
Some make him so alive.

Memories are what makes us

Without them, what would we be?

My memories are what keeps him

So very close to me.
