Justin accepted his call into the ministry in 2012 and brought many souls to Christ with his unique style of ministry. Justin was a charismatic, creative and very artistic man who touched many lives. Not only was he a great barber, he was also a mentor to his young clients and students. He was an intelligent, fun-loving, comical and big-hearted person. His unique personality led to many nicknames: "Bella", "Big Jus", "Swoll", "JI DaBoss", "Booest", "Flub", "Justice", "JI", "J Dog" and he was known to his wife as "Babycakes". His smile lit up the room and his big laugh was infectious. The party did not start until Justin arrived. His larger than life personality touched everyone that he came into contact with.
