The late Justin Coons from Independence, Missouri, tragically passed away on Wednesday, June 5th, at the young age of 29, following a horrific motorcycle accident. Justin leaves behind his loving family, including his parents, Elizabeth Coons and Scott Young, his brothers Stephen and Kyle, and his beloved 5-year-old daughter, Carrie.
Justin was known for his helpful nature and his talent for tinkering with things. His brother Stephen Coons shared a heartfelt message on Facebook, struggling to come to terms with the loss. “It took me 3 days to make this post because I couldn’t bring myself to look through our pictures together. Mom, dad, your brothers and your daughter will miss you so damn much. We are gonna miss you always walking around trying to fix stuff, your smile, all three of us brothers going back and forth bickering and laughing. I pray that you are resting in peace or high in the sky with grandma. I promise you me and Kyle will take care of your little girl and make sure she knows how amazing her daddy was and how much you loved her. I love you Justin, you’ll always be my little brother. We are all so proud of you for that decision to help others even in death.”
The family is currently seeking financial support to cover the costs of Justin’s final resting place. Stephen Coons has organized a fundraiser to raise $15,000. As of now, $253 has been raised from three donations. Justin’s selflessness continues even after his passing, as he was an organ donor, helping many others in need.
The outpouring of love and condolences from friends and family is evident in the numerous Facebook posts. Jen Johnson recalled, “Seeing him with his daughter and how loving and doting he was towards her will forever be in my mind. Gone too soon.” Jessica Miller Wilbourn echoed the sentiment, “There really are no words for this. And sorry just doesn’t cut it. This is gonna hurt for a very, very long time until you get used to the pain. We are here for you. Really thinking about you, your brother, and your mom. We love you nephew.”
Justin’s impact on those around him was profound, and his memory will continue to live on in the hearts of his loved ones. As his family grieves this tremendous loss, they are grateful for any support that can help them lay Justin to rest in a place where they can visit and remember him fondly.
