I went to high school with Justin and he was always such a nice person, and a really well mannered guy when manners were hard to come by back then. I’m in shock to hear of his passing and send my condolences to his family and loved ones. I hope you take peace in knowing that he was one of the good ones. ❤️

When I received word of your passing it struck hard, you were so young. Strangely you had been heavy on my mind just days before. I had a vivid vision of you smiling and speaking kind words; it was just a warm rememberance of the type of guy you were. As I scrolled your FB page, it was remarkable that so many and varied folks took time out to share a positive word or thought. Evidence of a life lived decently. I do not know your family but I thank them for molding you and allowing your light to be shared with all of us. Far from perfect, you had your flaws for certain, but you were a decent dude Justin Courtney and you will me missed. Godspeed brother. May we all learn the recognize the lesson you were sent to teach us. Condolences to your family and loved ones.
