    My heart breaks for you with the loss of Justis. To lose someone you love so deeply at such a young age is so hard to understand. You have been by his side every step of the way trying to nurse him back to health. It’s hard to understand why God had other plans for Justis. I know he is in good hands I just wish he was in your arms. We are here for you if you need us❤️

    so sorry to hear of justice passing. a soul taking too soon. he always had that contagious smile and always made me laugh with his great sense of humor…a memory ill never forget. that and when my son Blake would go fishing with him in their younger year! he spent time at my house a few times and I really enjoyed his company sitting on our porch and sitting around the pit telling stories or just hanging out with Blake and the buddies! even though Blake and him lost touch over the years they where great friends growing up and those memories will always stick with us. may God wrap his loving arms around his family during this most difficult time. and give them comfort and peace. our thoughts and prayers are with you.

    I worked with Justis at ESI and am very happy that I got to know him. We had great debates over baseball and football teams. He was a favorite grocery man too when delivering his mom’s garden produce to us. Another coworker described Justis as a gentle giant. I think that’s so true. He’s a wonderful young man that left too soon. I’m one of many that will miss him.

    I miss our conversations about who was the best MLB Baseball Team. We all know how you enjoyed watching your Atlanta Braves and how we both liked hot dogs from Costco in Sioux Falls! You were a great coworker here at ESI in Sioux Falls and now I won’t get your mothers homemade pickles and zucchinis delivered anymore. God Bless your family and I will think of you when ever I see an Atlanta Braves score on TV and will eat a hot dog from Costco in your honor.

    I had the extreme privilege of working with your son at ESI building 3. Although I just knew him for just a few months of his too short life I knew very quickly this young man was very special. I believe I can speak for everyone in building 3 that your son was liked very much and respected even more. Smart, quick wit, funny, very good and fast worker, he made many people laugh. I remember I wore an ugly Guiness golf hat to work, and he wanted to wear it and he looked like the biggest leprechaun ever. I could go on with many more stories, but I will close with this, he is now walking with no pain, and the people he is hanging out with are laughing.
