Just found out Justin. You always were upbeat and we shared laughs at the old coffee house Sees. I am really glad to have known you. You conducted yourself with class. And made this s better world. RIP my friend. You will be missed.

I am saddened by this news. JT and I had been friends since we were 19. We drifted in and out of each other's lives but when we reconnected it was as if no time had passed at all. Unfortunately this last time of drifting apart will now be forever. He was such an amazing man and will be truly missed. Until we meet again my friend. I'll be sure to bring the Kool-aid for my hair.

I'm proud to have know you if even briefly.

There's just so much to say about this man, he had the BIGGEST heart, he was genuine, that laugh that was infectious, he was a good friend. I met him when I had just moved across the street from him (when he still lived in the little house on bandini) along with Jamie and Gromit, and honestly, getting the chance to meet someone like him... I'm lucky. I have so many good memories, (more funnier than others lol!) like the time he had brought me over some orange chicken and tried to convince me to eat sushi even though I exclamied I hadnt liked it, but justin didn't back down, "I'll pay you thirty dollars if you eat that whole plate of sushi!" His laugh filling the room. He was an extreme animal lover too, and would pull over to save stray animals in need and pay for any care they might have needed, and take these animals into his home,and my favorite memory is telling him about two weeks before the accident, that he was such a good friend and he has always held a special place in my heart, replying with a big "awwwww" and a hug, I'm so glad I was able to share so many memories with a man like this, he was truly a good friend, and was one of those people you'd be fortunate enough to meet in your life time. Justin, I hope you rest in peace, and forever Valentine's day for me will be known as Justin's Day.

I was looking at the picture of us all white water rafting on the Deschutes River that is hanging on our wall.  There you are, with that big 'ol smile on your face as the water came crashing over your head! We had so much fun that day! That is how we will remember you.
RIP
Love Steve and Sherry

You never failed to have an entire room cracking up without even trying. I will certainly miss your contagious laugh. Thank you for all of the wonderful memories over the years. Every time I eat a churro I will forever think of you. Rest in peace Justin, we will all miss you.

Justin
Thank you for your contribution to a better world

Justin...My heart is so heavy and filled with so many memories that I find it hard to narrow them down. When you came into my life you were just 18 and had your whole life ahead of you. We spent many hours together at the museum and just as many over dinners with friends. You were like the son I never had. Your smile, goofy faces, huge heart and infectious laugh are forever etched in my mind. Please forgive me for not being there now. Much love JT...Mama Rora

We will all miss that infectious smile and laugh! Yesterday I was at the Chico Airport and I saw a DC3 Tail Dragger, thought of you. Your kindness will always be remembered.

Justin, I will miss you very much. Your warm greeting to me, "Hi  Doc. "  always cheered me because of your enthusiasm and  willingness to help in any problem I had with my various airplanes. Your generosity was exemplified by your last greeting to me just before you left for your fateful trip to Texas. I expressed my pleasure that you were back safely from your recent service in the Middle East and that I wanted to pay you for the repair you had done on my Ercoupe. You replied, " Doc, I can.t seem to find a Bill-- forget  it." My memories if our long friendship will always remain among my most prized possessions.  Art Peterson. Flabob airport

I am shocked and saddened to hear of Justin's tragic passing.  What a wonderful young man he was and he accomplished so much in his short life.  I'm so happy Justin had met the love of his life and was at last happy and  fulfilled at the time of his passing.  His great sense of humor and fantastic personality will live on in our memories. R.I.P. Justin!

Capt Justin, Life well lived and service to our nation we are thankful for. Thank you, Sir. Hope Lutheran Church Riverside will miss you presence.

Thank you sir for your service to our country.  I don't know you but I pray that God welcomes you with open arms and also gives your family strength..

Oh Justin,, I rememeber you right out of High School, so full of life and so funny! You loved to fly those little RC planes and you were good at it! I was SO proud and happy to finally learn you earned your wings! My heart broke when I heard this news. I hug you now with my heart and know you are up there soaring like crazy with the angels! Keep them laughing JT-I now you will!! xxoo  "Shayner"

I will miss you as a friend and one of the nicest, most helpful human beings I have ever met. Rest in peace buddy. I will come visit you at Riverside National as soon as I can break free from the midwest.
