That conversation we had a few weeks ago will hold me forever. Thank you for such kind words and for sharing your insight and personal experience with me. Our 4 years together at Edgewater were amazing. Our homecoming, sweetheart and prom are memories I will cherish forever. Thank you for thinking about my boy. You were such an amazing man Justin. Love you.

On behalf of Target Store 0955 Galleria we are saddened to have lost a Team member but you are forever in our heart you were an amazing person, Thank you for your service.
I am truly going to miss your smile JP and hearing you call me “Mo.” You’re the only one who can manage to change anyone’s mood instantly by your high energy. You were a gem and a pleasure to know. I will ALWAYS cherish our memories as teenagers at Edgewater, to young adults in college, and after. Thank you for never letting distance nor time falter our friendship. I’m truly going to miss you. Love you JP!

This lost is a hard one. I truly wish we had more time with you. Saddened I could not make it to support the family and our class! Your smile and spirit was truly infectious and you will be missed my friend. I send my love and prayers to the family.
Sorry to have just learned of the passing of my buddy. Had a great time hosting you pre pandemic here in DC. Good memories.
