I was so sorry to hear of Justin's passing. He had such a huge part in our lives when we attended New Life. He helped us hang new cabinets when we remodeled our kitchen. We so enjoyed all the many Sundays spent alongside him in the tech booth. His presence was calming and encouraging, especially during stressful services! It will be so strange to attend New Life and not see his smiling face up in the booth. He radiated God's love to everyone he met! Our hearts hurt with his family! Love and prayers to you all!

Justin and I took part in the NLCC Friday 14er's group. I remember climbing Mount Quandry in July 2003 with Justin and this group photo was from our Kit Carson Peak expedition in summer 2007. 

I remember Justin was always joking with and encouraging everyone in the team. Even when oxygen was in short supply above 12,000 feet! The high fives shared by all when we summited was a great and uniting experience. Justin truly was a brother in our band of 14er brothers. 

He will be missed! But we look forward to joining him in the high country, prepared for us all, where we will join him in the journey higher up and farther in!

I was so sad to hear this news, & I send my condolences to the family.  I haven't been in touch with Justin for years, but I will always remember his kindness and music talent. My sister, Kim, and I would take the bus from Denver to Ft. Morgan to spend summer with the Stone family. Always making good memories of dancing, having plays, going to the pool and listening to music. He will be missed, but  always remembered as a kind soul. Sending love from cousin, Mary
