The community and his family are struggling to come to terms with his sudden passing and prepare his funeral, making this news particularly devastating. Justin passed away on May 24th after a car accident on 101 North, leaving behind a deep void in the lives of his friends and family.
Sophia Luong, a close friend, has organized a GoFundMe campaign to support Justin’s funeral expenses and assist his family during this challenging time.

Sophia expressed her gratitude to the community, saying, "It’s heartening to see the community rally together to support Justin’s family during this challenging time." The financial support will help alleviate some of the unexpected burdens that come with funeral expenses.
Michelle Ramos, a friend who shared the GoFundMe link on Facebook, highlighted the importance of community support in times of grief. The campaign serves not only as a financial aid but also as a testament to Justin’s legacy, providing a space for memories and stories to be shared.
