    My heart is broken & searching for reasons why such a full life was taken much too early. I worked with Justin for 8 years & will always remember him as dedicated and kind. He loved his family and was thrilled to be a father proudly showing pictures of his son whenever he had an opportunity. I know he will be greatly missed and my condolences go out to his family and all that loved and cared for him.

    I never had the pleasure of meeting Justin in person. I’ve worked with him remotely for the past few years and he was always helpful and supportive. I’m still in shock at this news. My prayers are with his family and friends.

    Words alone cannot express my sadness. My condolences to Shayla, Langston and the family. I worked with Justin in the past and known him to be a wonderful guy, a loving husband and father. He was funny, genuine, a gentle giant and most of all; a lovely soul. He will be missed immensely. My deepest of sympathies.

    My thoughts and prayers go out to the Cannady and Hogan families. Our office will not be the same without Justin and the smile he always had on his face, all day, every day. Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted-Matthew 5:4

    My beautiful Shayla! Your husband and you are the essence of love and all that is true. My heart aches for your family — your beautiful son whom I got to know through the numerous social media pictures. In a different time and day,, I would be there with you as you process this time. We have to honor your husband’s memory. I will contribute to the scholarship, yet most importantly, contribute to your life and that of your son’s. My condolences and sympathies are also extended to your in-laws. #earthhasnosorrowthatheavencannotheal

    To the Cannady family – Justin was a great all around person. I met Justin when I made my first visit to the Maitland office. Justin always wore an infectious smile that made you feel comfortable. When I visited the Maitland office, Justin made sure that I had everything I needed while there. Our company has lost a dedicated, kind and genuine employee/friend. Shayla and Langston thank you for sharing Justin with us. Many of us are better people because our paths crossed. Praying that God provides all those who have been affected by this tremendous loss, comfort and strength.

    Warm Regards,

    Christine Washington

    weeping endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.
    To Justin family I can only imagine how you feel; but Jesus is right beside you and he feels your grief and He understands your hurt.. But we pray for all of you and we know that there is bright side, the darkness will move out and God’s sunshine will come to brighten ever corner of your lives.. Wait on God and keep the faith.
    Love and prayers sent your way.
    Shalom

    Shayla and Langston, I am so deeply sorry for your loss. I pray God brings you healing, peace and strength during this sad time. I only knew Justin by working with him a few years ago, he was always the most kind and pleasant young man. My prayers go up for you and your family.

    Justin always had a smile on his face & brightened your day

  • Nathan King Posted August 9, 2022 4:04 pm

    I literally broke down when I heard this news… I know I’m over a year late to get this information but Justin was one of my best friends growing up from kindergarten all the way through high school. We lived very close to each other in Orlando and I can remember riding my bike over to his house to see if he could play when we were young. Over the years and as we moved into adulthood our career paths took us in different directions. I do remember 5-10 years ago we ran into each other in Maitland and it didn’t feel like a day had gone by that I hadn’t seen my friend. This one is a tough one for me, but I can’t imagine the loss for Shayla, Langston and family.

    Till we meet again my friend.
