Justin was my cousin. Words can not express the sadness and loss that our family feels. You will truly be missed Justin. I know you are up in heaven with Grandpa. It seems like a dream. We will share you memory with your little girl when she arrives in this world. We will all let her know what a wonderful dad she had. We love you Justin and will miss you! Watch over us now!!
Prayers for Justin and his family during these difficult times.
Losing a child is the most painful of all sorrows; losing a dad feels the same. My prayers go out to you, Melanie, John and Dom, and to all those who loved and befriended him in this life. Blessings come from having him 29 years; comfort comes from knowing your memories will keep him alive.
Our prayers goes out to you and your family during this difficult time. May God bless and comfort you and your family.
Blessings,
Lewis Family

I never saw Justin without a smile on his face. He had a kind heart and he easily made friends with everyone he met. I speak for many when I say he will be missed here in Redwood. My thoughts are with his family and friends
