He was born in Falls Church, Virginia on November 12, 1988. He attended Woodson High School for a time, but eventually earned his GED.
Our Justin will be missed every day by his family and friends. He leaves behind his mother Jackie O’Brien, stepfather Tom O’Brien, brothers Kameron Stone and Patrick O’Brien and sister Molly O’Brien. He is also survived by his half siblings, Ryan, Katie and Lillian Stone, aunts Jina Carey (Mark Micieli) and Jennifer Carey, uncle Joe Carey and cousins, Quin Helfrick, Evan Micieli, Christine Carey-Jackson, Amanda and Sarah Carey and many other loving family and friends.
Justin is now with his grandparents, Peg and Joe Carey and the many, many friends he has lost.
Justin was an absolute joy to all who knew him, with a pure and lovely smile that inspired others to smile just as brightly. He was beloved as a son, a brother, a nephew and a friend. His family meant the world to him, and he loved and adored them deeply, wholly, and without embarrassment.
Justin's default setting was sheer enthusiasm. He had a great passion for music, whether listening to an album, spinning fun beats of his own, or jumping around like a pogo stick at shows played anywhere from backyards to outdoor festivals. He loved watching the Caps play hockey, animals (especially cats) and just being with people.
His enormous capacity for love and empathy left an indelible impression on anyone lucky enough to cross his path. Everything he felt, he felt completely. Justin was a truly genuine soul with a heart that loved to love. He will be missed infinitely, and forever remembered for his sweetness, his silliness, and his irrepressible, wonderful Justin-ness.
