He enjoyed attending his son's sporting events and taking them to Razorback football games. He was known for his elaborate firework shows and barbecuing. Justin's passions in life were farming and his children. He loved being in the country and spending time with his boys on the family farm. His greatest legacy is left in his children, whom he loved immensely.
