Justin was a graduate of Allegany Limestone Central School. At the age of 18 he enlisted in the U.S. Army and served from 2009 until 2011. He was proud of his service and considered it one of his best jobs in life. In turn, his family was very proud of him for his service to our country.

He considered it a privilege to be the best husband and father he could be and was an excellent role model for his and Taneasha’s three children.

He enjoyed most outdoor activities such as camping, motorcycling, trucks, fishing and times spent at the hanging bog in Cuba. More recently he loved learning to cook and prepare barbecued foods.
