This video was taken on the 15th, I believe. Gordon’s friend Brad’s wife is the amazing singer. I laughed when the song started bc while it is an amazing song, the ASPCA uses it for their really sad commercials. Justin and I couldn’t watch them bc we would cry through them and want to go adopt more pets. We figured we better stop at four cats and a dog:)

Justin and his dad, Gordon. Justin talked a lot about his dad. He talked about how much they looked alike and how his dad had the Posse, of which Dustin was his best friend. He saved a picture of his dad and Dustin on his phone and spoke fondly of their fishing and camping trips. Which I found humorous bc he hated being outdoors:) he said his father would have loved Wonders of Wildlife. I know he and Gordon are together and enjoying all the things they missed out on.

Justin had seen this shirt at GameStop one night at midnight when we were picking up a game that had just came out. I bought it and hung it in his closet. A few days later, he texted me this picture. He adored Ringer, the only cat I have ever met with Alepecia and I loved his little clothes. He would send me pics of Ringer so I could see what he was wearing.

I hope everyone answers this question. Justin was the most honest person I ever met. He was honest about his depression, his feelings, his past, and what he did and didn’t want to do. He cared about animals and people. When you disappointed him, you knew it. He was excellent at articulating. I learned a lot from him. He saw people for who they were, not what they presented to the world. He had friends all across the gambit of human nature.

I am so very sorry for the loss of Justin. Like a firework, he burned hot, and bright, and beautifully, but also like a firework, he burned out too soon. And I’m so very very sorry for that. Wishing peace to those who loved and lost him.
