Justin, a Panther, graduating in 2004 from Western Schools, enjoyed playing golf and baseball. Justin had a magnetic personality that was hard to match, with his outgoing nature and love for his family and friends. He enjoyed spending time outdoors, especially with his fiancé, Tayler Green, and sons, Tucker and Owen. Justin was a proud father, and was passionate about teaching the boys to hunt and fish. Justin was looking forward to his upcoming nuptials, and he could always be counted on for a good laugh. Justin was a member of St. Jacob Lutheran Evangelical Church in Grass Lake, where he took pride in being sexton of the church cemetery. Justin worked at Diversified Precision Products for the past two years. A son, a brother, an uncle, a fiancé, a father and a friend - Justin was a good man, a good man that will be remembered forever in the great memories he made with those whom he loved and who loved him.
