I'm sorry to hear about the loss of Justin, I personally did not know him as well as I wanted too, I've talked to him before at 2/29 when i was with my cousins Jeremy and Casey, and my experience with him was great, he would always talk about accidents and calls that he had gone on and how much the service meant to him, even though i come around to Mechanicsville once in awhile, not seeing Justin around anymore, I will feel terrible that one of out Fire/EMS service brothers died enroute to a call that most people wouldnt get up early in the morning to go to. My thoughts and prayers go out to Justin's family, friends and the members of the Mechanicsville VFD and RS Stations 2-22-29.
Sincerely,
Brian Clements

Our hearts go out to you, our brothers and sisters, as well as to the many friends and family that will miss Justin. Everyone takes for granted, the volunteer, until the time that they need them. It takes a special kind of person to be in this business. And special kind of parents to allow us into it. With the support of everyone you will get through this you SHALL OVERCOME. Again I am sorry for your loss.

Although I didn't know Justin, I heard about him often through his cousin Tina. She talked of him often when I shared with her my EMT stories from "way up here" in Harford County. You have a great website and I feel like I knew him from your terrific memorial page you have dedicated to him. As a fellow EMT/IVT, my heartfelt sympathy goes out to his family, both at the firehouse and at home.

sorry for your loss.god be with you all at this time.
None of you know who I am, and yet though I didn't know Justin directly I can say that he was the true essence of what it means to be a Fire Fighter.
I was informed of his passing by a brother of mine in Cobb Island, MD. He asked me to pause to remember him in prayer, and I have and will.
No fitting amount of words can ever be written or spoken to ease your pain. No amount of charit or sypathy can ever replace what you have all lost. While this is of little solace, remember always that the peace he now knows is the peace he so well deserved. Hopefully you can find healing in the words of the Lord:
"Greater Love Hath None Than This... To Lay Down One's Life For His Friends." St. John 15:13
May God be with you in your time of grief, and may St. Florian guide you on all your journeys.
Respectfully yours, a brother in arms,
