As it has been reported, Justin passed away on Saturday, July 21 at a local hospital in Lakeland, Florida.

As what I have been told, Justin had a bad reaction to medicine he was taking for contracting Hepatitis C from a blood transfusion many years ago. His heart gave out on him and it led to his passing.

Calling hours for Justin will be this thursday (which is tomorrow), July 26, 2007 at the Barkdull Funeral home in Shelby, Ohio from 2pm to 4pm and then from 6pm to 8pm.

Funeral services will be held 10:30 am Friday, July 27, 2007 at the Barkdull Funeral home in Shelby as well as an interment to follow in Fairview Cemetary, Galion, Ohio.

A few words:

Justin was a great kid and more like a lil brother to me. I got on him when I saw him for many things and always pestered him to do better with his life. He used to walk past my house everyday for a couple years up here in Ohio when he worked at Wendy's. He went to a few of my wrestling matches and was a pretty big fan of wrestling as a whole. I was very sad that he quit school and all a couple years back. Just less than two weeks ago, Justin emailed me here on myspace and told me about his G.E.D and all. He seemed very excited in the email and mentioned he was coming back home to Shelby soon. I emailed him back and told him I was VERY PROUD of him going back to school and getting it completed. Justin was just starting to turn him life around. I am sad to see that he didn't get the full chance to go all the way - but I know he would have.

As corny as it may sound, this is another chance or warning that everyone should take the time out in their lives to stop for a moment and tell your loved ones or the person that you care for....that you love them. Make your time count. You may never get another chance...
