Born in Kingstree, SC, Justin attended Goose Creek High School.  Known as “Snacks” to his friends, he was a beloved member of his community.  He was known for making his friends and family laugh during their darkest days and for keeping his head held high through his own personal struggles.  Justin was a member of the semi-pro football team, The Charleston Hawks; and when time and circumstances allowed he was extremely proud to serve as a volunteer firefighter.
