Dear Grandma and Grandpa
I have not meet him, but I have heard amazing things about him. Hearing everything from my mom, Carrisa Hanson, he seems like the nicest and funniest person and I would do anything to meet him. My condolences, Margo Hanson, Justin's niece.

To The Heltons,
Justin, James and John played together as children-we were neighbors and friends. Thank you James for letting us know of your loss. Many miles have separated our children with John in Memphis-yet they had managed to stay in touch. A closeness-a bond. Our children grow and our lives change. Yet we are never prepared for a tragedy such as this. I know your hearts are heavy and hope that time will ease your pain until you can be together again. John 14:7 "Do not let your hearts be toubled"."In my house are many rooms. I am going there to prepare a place for you". I believe that Justin will be watching over you and I pray that he will find a way to let you know he is still with you. I pray that God will give you the strength to overcome what must seem like the impossible. In child birth the pain is quickly forgotten-the joy remains. I hope remembering the 23 years of his life here on earth will bring joy to your hearts and lift you up. Come visit us any time and we can relive some of the days of their youth.
God Bless You and Keep You!
Pete, Martha and John Dunlap

We too lost a son (ours was 25), so we feel a sad bond with you as we read your precious son's obituary. Even though we are strangers, we're moved by your loss and by the loving expressions of support on these pages. God grant you peace, love, comfort ... whatever you need to keep putting one foot in front of the other. Keeping you in our prayers as you find your way through this darkness unimaginable, asking the Lord to lead you back into the light until you can be reunited in Heaven...

Dear Uncle James, Aunt Caroline, James, Carrisa, and Caitlyn,

I remember Justin as my little cousin who would always try to pull a "power ranger" move on me whenever I walked in the door of your old house. Though I did not have the opportunity to watch him grow into a man, I am sure that he was a fun-loving and kind hearted person. I know he is watching over all of you and wanting you to know that he is okay and is waiting to see you all again. Though he is no longer with us he is not gone, his memory and his love will always be present within you. Our deepest love and condolences at this difficult time and we wish we could have been there to show our support. We love you all.

Dear Justin,

The last time I saw you, you looked so happy. Heaven has no idea what they're in store for. You brought so many laughs to everyone you met. So refreshing.... I'm going to miss you.

Dear James, Caroline, Carrisa and Caitlyn,
Death is nothing at all. Justin has only slipped away into the next room. Play, smile, think of him, pray for him. Let his name be ever the household word that it always was. He is waiting for you, for an interval, Somewhere very near, just around the corner and all is well.
I am so sorry, my dear sister and your family. We have so many good memories of Justin. We had too few years but they are special ones. I will always remember the "Happy Birthday Song", and the special I Love You that was given to Justins "crazy" Aunt Jackie. Rest In Peace my dear nephew, we will all be together again.

They say our time here on earth is short and we should live each moment we have with eachother like its our last. I know Justin lived his life to the fullest and loved like there was no tomorrow. Twenty three years with us just doesn't seem long enough and I keep waiting for the world to stop..I hope his journey home is a blessed path and may it be filled with loved ones of his past. Justin was a beautiful man inside and out and I thank God I had the pleasure of knowing him in this lifetime and look forward to seeing him in the next. May God watch over his family and comfort and guide them in this time of loss and healing. In my thoughts and prayers always.

To Caroline, James, Carissa, James Jr. and Caitlyn,
He was taken too soon but always remember that he is watching over all of you and will always be there. I will always remember as a little kid playing in the backyard with Tim. He was always quick to smile and laugh. He is only gone in body, he will remain in spirit in the hearts of those who loved him most..his family and friends. My deepest sympathy to you all.

Dear Jim & Family,

I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your son, Justin. I do not recall meeting him when you were up in Buffalo however, if he was anything like you he he is ok in my book.

I read that he was an apprentice out of 687. You must have been very proud of him following on your career path.

As Assistant Coordinator of the BNAP, it his passing is a special loss to our organization.

Justin and your family are in my thoughts and prayers at this very difficult time.

May he rest in peace and I pray your family can be healed from this heartache.

Fraternally, your brother,

Marty Spencer-Local #7-&
