Justin,aka McKinnon,JMac was like a son to me. He and my two boys grew up together and were inseparable. We've known him for about 30 years now. The boys were always playing basketball, football, riding their bikes up and down Rhodes Rd, hanging around the Grocery Hut, and just hanging out together at his house, ours or one of many friends in the neighborhood. Justin's beautiful smile and laugh was infectious. My daughter always thought he was such a cool guy. He was always willing to lend a helping hand and he did so many times. I cannot imagine the pain his family feels right now, but I hope they will have peace knowing they are cradled in the Lord's arms. Rest in peace our dear Justin!! You are with the angels now.

I met Justin way back in middle school on the bus. He made friends with literally everyone he talked to. He introduced me to what would be later called the "Rhodes road boys" (interesting enough I already knew the Pittman boys :) while I may not have kept in touch with all of them, I followed them them through their journeys. I have grieved every one of them we have lost and know that they have touched our families in a different way. JMack you will be missed so much. Your smile was contagious. Keep looking down on us. We need all the guardian angels we can get!! Love, Tonya

You was always a great friend. You will be missed! My heart and prayers are with your family at this time. You always knew how to make me laugh when, I was feeling down. You had a good heart.

I will never forget the times we shared. I will carry you in my heart forever my dear friend.

I grew up with Justin and always looked up to him for his athleticism. He was always the first one to be picked in the neighborhood football and basketball games. He was also dependable like a brother. As we got older We would stay up late reminiscing on old stories of our youth and would laugh for hours. I will never forget how much of a friend he was to me. His family treated me like I was a part of it. I will miss you man, never forgotten. - Justin Pittman
