Justin was a force! He was an honor student, stellar athlete, leader, and fierce competitor. An avid reader who was always seeking knowledge, Justin was extremely intelligent and loved to share his knowledge and insight with his family and friends. Justin loved a good debate and would often force his competitors to secede. Justin was also a diehard Ohio State football fan and loved cheering on his Buckeyes win or lose. Justin’s other hobbies and interests included listening to music, watching sports, traveling, playing cards and board games, fishing, and spending quality time with family and friends. Justin was honest and loyal. Justin loved hard and was a devoted and proud father who loved and adored his children and always did all he could to make sure they knew and felt how much he loved them. Justin was also a loving and devoted son, brother, grandson, nephew, cousin, and friend. Though his life on this earth was cut short and he is sorely missed by many, Justin was and still is God’s child, a king, a warrior, and a survivor whose life journey and relentless determination, strength, and courage is a testament to Jehovah’s mercy and grace that will help heal the hearts and provide strength to those who knew and genuinely loved him. Justin will be laid to rest in The Wilson Family Plot in Pratville District, Manchester, Jamaica, West Indies.
