We will always miss you and the happiness and confidence you brought to Jodi. She/we will always love you for that. I think you would be happy at how strong Jodi has been, as I'm sure you would want her to be. She has not married, but has a 'life partner' that I'm sure you would approve of. They now have a little girl, Lola June. Jodi is doing well, and I think you would not only approve of her choice, but be happy for her. Justin, you our in our thoughts every day.

We would like to thank everyone who came to our 6th annual Kosi Klassic celebration. It was great fun for all. The weather was perfect…. sunshine from dawn to dusk. This day was quite an anomaly considering it rained most of our spring season. We had seven families camping on our property. Twenty five teams played “How’s It Hanging”. The playoffs were held once again under lights in our backyard. Nate and Justin O challenged Becky and Jim in a couple of tense games. But the boys hung on and walked away with the much prized belt. Barnyard golf got off to a slow start but a gathering of folks took on the course and the game was on. Craig swung his way into the green jacket as this year’s champion. We ended the evening with a birthday cake that Nate brought for Justin. He would have been 31 years old on June 12th the day of our party. Nate made a special toast. It was heartfelt and very bittersweet.
Justin, happy belated birthday, sweetie! We all miss you so much.

Love,
Sue and Scott

que pasa hombre!? I haven't been on here in awhile. I miss you man and was bummed that my graduation from grad school was the same weekend as the annual celebration of your life. Can you believe I made it to grad school and have been teaching 4th grade!? Wish you were here to celebrate. Remember my undergrad party...you were walking around with a megaphone making everyone laugh. You held it up to my mom and shouted, "I like you Kim." Then you held it up and announced, "attention, Karl is a nerd." so many fun memories that I won't ever forget. Thank you so much for your amazing friendship!
peace and much love,
Xavier

so i thought i should share this while it's fresh in my noggin.
last night i had a dream that Justin and I were still in school, and somehow he acquired a key to all the vending machines using his squirrely tactics which led to us raiding all the food while classes were in session because he had some sort of hallway immunity and took me along for the ride.
for those who knew him well, you know that this easily could've been a reality knowing his character.
love you buddy and looking forward to celebrating your birthday once again.

I've been really thinking about life lately and my purpose adn where I'm headed. I've had a wonderful few years and I've done some things I'm really proud of, but I've been thinking about whether I'm really using all my talents to their fullest and whether I'm really doing what I'm supposed to do. As I think about this, I of course think about Justin. Justin is the person to have on your mind if you are thinking about excellence. Justin opitomized excellence and reaching ones potential. I always admired the way he approached his life. He just made a list of what life was for him, then made a list of the steps to achieve those things, then just did it! He just stepped into life figured out was was important and never looked back. I wish I was able to speak with him more directly these days, because I know he'd help me find my path like he found his, but I draw incredible strength and inspiration from his memory and he is fueling my journey still!

Thank you for your example Justin, I'm doing my best to follow it!

I love you so much

Justin
You are an uncle and we are glowing grandparents! Nicole and Mike are proud parents of a precious baby boy, Miles Justin. I look forward to telling Miles all about you so he will come to know what an amazing person you were. He will love hearing about all the adventures you and your sister had growing up. We have saved a lot of your little hot wheel cars, wooden trucks and Tonka toys. I know when Miles is older and comes to visit he will be making cities and roads in dirt piles just like you used to do. The go-cart is still in the barn and I am sure your dad has plans to get it back in running order some day when Miles is ready for a wild ride. It feels so good to have a little boy in our family again. Joy has re-entered our lives and the future now holds so much promise.
My thoughts are with you every day and my heart is full of love for you.
Love forever and always,
mom xoxoxoxo
