One of the most authentic people I’ve ever known in my life thus far and I miss him as if he was my blood brother. Whoever raised him, job well done because he defined what it was to live with integrity, loyalty and honor. I personally don’t believe I’ve met a better human being in this life and I’m definitely not convinced that I ever will, because he didn’t just say he showed and proved and that’s rare and for that alone he’ll forever have a place in my heart as a friend, brother and a all out decent person that had and still has a major impact on my life….. Rest up KING

We grew up together.. you were a great friend. I remember when your brother passed. I know that was hard for you. We moved on with our lives but you never left my mind. I always thought of you throughout the years but I never reached out. I’m so sorry to hear that your life was taken too soon. The memories we had will never leave my mind nor my heart. 

You will never be forgotten. Lindsey

Someone else said it best in their memory: If you knew Justin, you know there will never be another like him. I first met him as a student in high school. He was headstrong & always a sharp thinker. A memorable young man whose path I'm glad crossed with mine. 

Tyler, my condolences to you and your mother. 

So sorry for your loss. Justin was a kind soul. He will be missed! 

Justin I will miss you! I will miss your craziness, your laughter, deep random conversations, all your opinions, and most of all you just being you! I will cherish all of our memories from high school and adult years. I send my deepest condolences to the family, Justin will be missed. Sleep well my friend! 

To our dearest  Sturgis Family- Karla/Steve, Tyler/Sydney-

Our sincere condolences to the family.  We've known your family for several years, and was deeply saddened on hearing of Justin's passing.  Our hearts truly go out to you!   The sting of death is great, and no loss of a loved one is easy to bear.  Just remember that our loving God, Jehovah,  'knows'  the pain and heartache that you're going through....lean on him for comfort at this time - 2 Cor. 1:3;  Rev. 21:3,4.

Me and Justin knew each other for 22 years and we grew up together, went to school together, and we always looked out for each other. We always considered ourselves cousins and family but was never blood relatives. But blood doesn’t always make you family, it’s the bond you have with that person that does. Justin, you will be forever missed. And for Tyler you will always be family to me as well and I will always be here for you. We are here for you Tyler and your family. Justin will always be with us in spirit.

  My thoughts and prayers are with you, Tyler, and your entire family. Justin was a force of nature who will not easily be forgotten. He always had a smile on his face and a conversation to be had. We had many talks about religion and his support for his family. My condolences on your tragic loss...

My sincere condolences for your family in the lost of  Justin. Justin was such an amazing person, he will always be remembered. My prayers are with your family.

To Mr & Mrs Sturgis, to Tyler. Justin was a good young man. He had a gentle spirit about him. He had his moments but in every conversation I had with him, he had faith in Jehovah and love for his mother. Tyler, I know how much you loved your brother and personally how much he loved you. (I love you my friend) Justin was really, really cool and will always be remembered in a positive light! XOXO

I really hate this... Justin, You will be missed... The laughter an craziness an the videos or your daily journey. Prayers for the family..  Sleep well 

I knew Justin  from Antioch High School 🙏🏽❤
We connected over being northerners in the south. It was a blessing to meet him and his younger brother Tyler. 

 Justin is an amazing man. Justin is a very successful and ambitious man. Justin is funny and sociable yet quiet and observant at the same time!! I hadn't seen him in many years but recently we began working together. The first day I saw him at work he had on a velvet suit and loafers and was walking around introducing himself to the managers. His mind was straight to the top!!! He wanted to build a lasting legacy for his family. 
He was very business minded!!! He came in as an agent but planned to take over the world!!! He quickly became a top agent, was extremelysuccessful, and most of all he was sooooo encouraging. 
I am praying for his family, Praying for truth and Praying for justice!!! We love you always and forever Justin ❤ REST IN LOVE ❤🙏🏽

Karla and family we want to let you know that you are in our prayers.  Justin will be missed and we too loved him. He was like a second son to us and he was at our house almost daily growing up. We will remember his smile and just how funny he could be.  He was a very stubborn young man but most of all he had great manners and that was what I know Karla taught him to be. We will cherish his memories and pray to see him again soon.

My thoughts and prayers are with Justin’s family and love ones. Justin will be truly missed by so many. I have a lot of great memories of Justin. He made me and may others laugh everyday at America HomePatient. 

He will be truly missed. 


To my dear spiritual mom Karla and my brother Tyler, 

We’re immensely saddened by your loss. No words from us can express how you may be feeling or how we ache for you. New to the Nashville area, I remember the first time I met Justin & Tyler at a District Convention in 2008. I connected in different ways with both brothers and ended up spending a large portion of time hanging with Justin that Convention. Justin had very passionate thoughts on things and loved to think differently than others, even if some didn’t agree with his take. He would always have your back if you were with him, and had a unique sense of humor. He had a leadership mentality and always strove to forge his own path for better or worse. We didn’t end up being best friends as I ended up becoming closer to my best friend and brother Tyler, but I did hang out with Justin on a few other occasions. He will be missed and I pray that our God Jehovah remembers (Malachi 3:16) him and shows him the realization of all His promises for mankind on earth. 

I pray that Jehovah comforts my spiritual mom Karla as stated in 2 Corinthians 1:3,4 and I pray that Tyler is solidified & raised up by the support from Jehovah (Psalms 41:10; 1 Corinthians 10:13) and endures this terrible tragedy. Love you both.
-Justin & Shianne Morgan

There’s so many memories that come to mind when I think about Justin. Thanks for the countless laughs and crazy memories. Justin is definitely one of a kind and will be missed.
