Justin Shealy Obituary

Justin Pringle Shealy MEGGETT, SC - Justin Pringle Shealy of Meggett died the night of Sunday, May 13, 2012, at his residence. Justin was born on Easter Sunday, April 11, 1982, in Charleston, South Carolina. Justin, the son of Debra Ann Shealy Pringle was christened at Christ Church, Willtown, Adams Run, where his family had attended for several generations. Justin graduated from Camden Military Academy and while there joined the National Guard. Shortly thereafter, he served in the National Peacekeeping Force in Bosnia as a Combat Medic. He recently joined the United States Army Reserves and he was presently serving in the 413th Chemical Company where he had completed Advanced Biological Chemical and Nuclear training. He worked for Triad Mechanical Contractors and was a very talented carpenter. Anytime anything needed mending around his grandfather's or uncle's house, Justin could handle the job. He loved the outdoors, hunting and fishing. Justin loved all animals, but had a great love for cats. He was excited to recently learn that he qualified to be accepted into the First Families of South Carolina (1670 to 1700) and had taken an interest in his family heritage. The funeral service will be held Friday, May 18, at 2:00 p.m., at Christ St. Paul's Episcopal Church, 4981 Chapel Road, Meggett, SC 29449. Immediately following the service, a full military burial will be held in the church cemetery, where he will be laid to rest next to his mother. Family and friends will be received this Thursday, May 17, from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m., at J. HENRY STUHR, INC., WEST ASHLEY CHAPEL, 3360 Glenn McConnell Parkway, Charleston. Justin is survived by his grandfather, who adopted him and raised him as his own child, Robert Belton Shealy, Sr. and his wife, Lorraine Auerbach Shealy of Meggett; his uncle, who was a strong role model in his life and thought of him as his own son, Robert Belton Shealy, Jr. of Charleston; and two sisters, Lindsay Frances Pringle and her fiance; Chad Winston Pennell of Kitty Hawk, NC and Tanner Louise Kennedy of Charleston. Also surviving are his grandmother, Geri Good and her family of Tampa, Florida and Joseph Jernigan of Charleston, with whom Justin had a special relationship and referred to as his son. Justin was predeceased by his mother, Debra Shealy Pringle, his grandmothers, Marjorie Roddey Shealy and Peggy Pringle and his grandfather, Dan Good. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to Christ St. Paul's Cemetery Fund, 4981 Chapel Road, Meggett, SC 29449.

This poem was sent to my family when my niece passed away. I have been sharing it ever since. I hope it brings you some comfort as it does me.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
