Hearing of Justin's sudden passing reminded me that life is very short. "Come now, you who say, "Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a city, spend a year there, buy and sell, and make a profit"; whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away"(James 4:13-14). Rocco Piserchia

Justin's family, I am truly saddened to hear about Justin's passing away. He had a big heart. My boys really liked him. I wonder how it may have been with us if he moved back home (minnesota) I really cared for him very much since I was 10 , 11 years old. Playing house on Selby Ave. (I was always the dog) watching Purple Rain with your mother covering Julie's eyes. Drinking out of a frozen box of Franzia wine on the back deck taking turns. We have went many places together when Justin visited a few weeks 2014. JustinYou sure liked those White Castles. Rest well Justin. 🍀

From flipping burgers at burger king to becoming lifelong friends. I never saw Justin say or do anything negative towards anyone. He was truly a loving friend to all. He was loved and will forever be missed.
