Justin was born in Joliet, IL, on October 21, 2005. He had recently started his junior year at Minooka High School. Justin had a love of animals, which led to his involvement with German Shorthaired Pointer Club of Illinois as well as Fort Dearborn GSP Club. As a young boy, he was active in the Cub Scouts. Although his available free time had lessened in recent years, his love of fishing, ran deep, ensuring that he'd never miss an opportunity to put a line in the water.
Justin was already an amazing cook and had aspirations of attending culinary school after high school.

He had the kindest of hearts, and an unwavering confidence in who he was and what he wanted from life.
