Justin loved fishing, barbecuing, sitting around a fire pit, driveway sitting in his neighborhood, watching Macie and Chase play sports, and just being with family and friends. He could also brighten up the room with his jokes and laughter. He didn't know a stranger. He could be found at his favorite places which were along the baseball field fences cheering on Chase or giving the umpires friendly advice, in the bleachers of Macie's volleyball games, or sitting in the bleachers cheering on Macie and Chase while they played basketball.
