Anson Teen Remembered by Community

Updated: April 12, 2009
 The Anson High School auditorium was packed as the entire community turned out to remember his life.

The pastor shared stories from friends and family members who remembered Justin as a fun loving kid- who loved attention.

The story of Justin getting a paintball gun, brought tears to one families eyes. Justin's friend V.J. Hirst was unable to be at the funeral, because he is recovering from the injuries he recieved in the same car crash, but his mother and brother were there, and they said that Justin and V.J. often shot paintballs behind their house.

Earlier this week, Anson High School held a candle light cereamony in Justin's memory, and Justin's senior ring, which was recovered at the crash site, was presented to his younger sister Haley.
