Our thoughts and prayers are certainly with the family of Justin. Seeing anyone leave this earth is difficult, but seeing one of your own, that strikes a little closer to home. May God be with his family and friends.

Bland County has lost a highly trained firefighter, a respected young man and no doubt he would have been a strong leader in the community. It was a privilege to know him and I will never forget his dedication to preventing loss of property and life in Bland county. My heart is with the Dunn family at this time. I’ll see you again Justin.

Such a short life, such a noble legacy you leave. Your accomplishments were so honorable for the time you were here. As you watch over your fellow firefighters and EMS personel, keep them safe and lead them through, keeping them out of harms way. We know, you will already be there, leading the way. To Jeff, Catherine, and the rest of the family, thoughts and prayers, and thanks for sharing such a respectable young man, a Hero.

Rest in peace. You'll never be forgotten.
“It won’t always be like this. A better time and life are coming. Just hold on to me and I will deliver you. I will take you to heaven.”
Revelation 21:3, 4 tell us: “The tabernacle of God is among men, and he will dwell among them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be among them, and will be their God. And he will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and there will be no more death, nor will there be any more mourning or crying or pain; because these earlier things have passed away.”

We had training in Wtheville tonight, and you were very much on my mind. I will never forget that camper fire we had on 77. I can still see that cheerful smile. You always made everything a little brighter. I know you are enjoying your new home in heaven, but you or very much missed here on earth. Keep watching over use. BFD and family you or in my prayers each day.

Justin, man I dont know where to start. Justin you were and will always be more than my friend, you are more along the lines of a brother. All I can think about is all the good times we had, whether it being driving to Charlotte at about 3 in the morning or just sitting around hanging out, oh or going to wake the Duck up at 6 or 7 in the morning to go to a big tool show. Im missing you like crazy dude, I still look up at your house everyday hoping to see you, still look for you to come around the corner at work doing that goofy little wave and saying HEY GIRL.......lol..good times. Its just not the same here without you and never will be. I appreciate everything that you did for me. I ask that you and GOD just continue to look over us, and you just remember that you may not be here anymore but you will live on in our hearts forever. I love you and miss you....................Love Andy...............RGVFD 489
