Too young Sep 5, 2007

I never had any contact with Justin via Proz.com, but would like to use the site to extend my deepest sympathy to his family and friends.

I also wish his friend Mark a speedy recovery.

Very sad news Sep 5, 2007

I have not had a chance to work with Justin, or even to be in contact with him during my time here... Still, hearing a young life go wasted makes me wonder where do we go and what do we do in our lives... My deepest condolences to Justin's family and friends. The loss will never heal, but I hope you will learn to live with it and I am sure you will always carry him in your hearts.

Don't know Justin, but it is sad all the same! Sep 5, 2007

Dear Henry,

I never had the pleasure of communicating with Justin, but the loss of a young collaborator in such tragic circumstances must be a terrible blow to his family and to his colleagues! My thoughts are with you all in these difficult times.

Yves

Dear ProZians,

We are devastated by the news that our colleague and staff member Justin has died in a car accident. It was last night. He was only 22.

Justin's extraordinary warmth and enthusiasm could be felt by anyone who came into contact with him. He was brilliant, and was always ready to drop everything to help someone out. Those of us who worked with him every day are blessed to have known such a bright and good spirit, and it is painful to think about what his future might have held. He will be sorely missed.

For those of you who did not know him, a "birthday gift" given by another staff member, Romina, to Justin last week will give you a small sense of the way Justin inspired us: http://www.proz.com/Happybirthdayjustin.ppt

We are going to prepare messages of condolence for Justin's family and friends. If you wish to add a message of remembrance or support, you are invited to do so here.

I didn't know him Sep 5, 2007

but in any case the image I get from the many posts here is of a special person.
It is always sad when a young life passes away.

My condolence to the family and to all who loved him, and a prayer for his friend Mark.

A very special person Sep 5, 2007

I only had the pleasure of communicating with Justin a few times over the past years, but every single time was a very pleasant experience - which is why I remember Justin! Just as it seems to have been for all those many other ProZians from around the world, who were touched by this special person.

May the hearts of Justin’s family and friends become a little lighter thinking of how he has touched so many others in such a special way - knowing that he will not be forgotten!

Sincerest condolences.... Sep 5, 2007

These are tragic tidings that are really hard to accept. I, like so many others, had a number of support requests that were so efficiently and quickly handled by Justin, and there was a lovely 'persona' that shone through his messages regarding even the most mundane and routine subjects. He made me laugh more than once with his sense of humor. He was obviously brilliant on the inside and the outside, and he shone (and continues to shine) like a star. My condolences to the family and to the Pr... See more

I am so sorry to hear this news. He came across as intelligent and kindly in my dealings with him, and was so helpful. It's far too soon for him to die.
