Hello!
I wanted to have a space to celebrate our Justin, “JP”; not only to remember him but also to keep him alive in our hearts.
I want to invite you to take a moment to share a memory, a picture, or anything else that reminds you of Justin.
On Thursday, June 4th, it will be one year since he was taken too soon. On this day especially, I would like to encourage you to do something to remember Justin and his legacy...however you choose. Whether it’s sharing on this page, having a nerf gun war, playing a round of golf, or taking a shot of Jack while smoking a cigar :) It could also be as simple as taking a moment to remember how Justin came in to your life and made an impression. Sharing these memories and the impact Justin has made has helped me on this journey.
I hope that through this, we can grieve as a community and remember this amazing man.
Happy heavenly birthday Justin

Birthdays are great days to allow us to pause and remember. Carolyn brought you to our family and you fit right in round the table for celebrating Christmas, special birthdays and even shared the sad times at family funerals. The memories are many and remind us of your thoughtfulness and kindness to everyone. It is that love that is your legacy. We miss you but we think of you often. less

Trying to upload the video of JP and I playing golf in the rain, but getting error so I’ll keep trying. I MISS you Bro and love you for all that you brought to my life, your friendship, your hilarious Wit, infectious smile and warm heart, providing me guidance and an ear when I needed you and most importantly being the one to show up for golf when no one else did! I hope you are having a cigar and drink while you smile down and watch over us all. RIP Brother! less

Though it came about through work our relationship went beyond just co-workers. I witnessed Justin grow professionally and personally. His big smile, infectious laugh, and zest for life was just what we all needed. I miss him each day and remember all the great memories we created from our early morning workouts, our dance and lip sync battle practices, and the numerous nerf gun battles. As I reflect on this last year, with all the change and pain around us what I wouldn't give for a little Justin joke, laugh and perspective. less

I will forever cherish our time...whether it was sharing laughs after doing the juju dance upon greeting each other in the hallway at work :), anything golf, reminiscing over our frat days (we were in same fraternity at different colleges) or our serious heartfelt convos on life - you were always such a great person to be around. Your zest for life was unmatched and your legacy continues to live on through all who crossed your path. You are greatly missed Justin. No doubt you are looking down on us with a cigar and drink in hand from the links above. Love you & miss you brother!

I met Justin at 9Round. He was always so positive and uplifting. There were times that he was excited to see me walk through the door and there were times that I got high fives from him for finishing hard. And always encouraging. I know you are greatly missed.
Justin,

It is hard to believe it has been a year already. We miss you so very much. You would be so proud of our girl! I know you are keeping a close eye on her from above. While I don’t have any crazy stories of you to share, I did come across this picture from when you both lived at Blue Star. You whole heartedly opened yourself up to my family and it had been like you’d known us forever. You entertained our two girls at the pool and told Adriana there was an alligator in the deep end, so that she wouldn’t jump in. To this day- she still checks all pools for alligators!
Thank you for loving my best friend. We miss you beyond words less

I appreciate that he was always there for me. No matter how big I thought the problems I brought to him were, he managed to make me feel like they were nothing. He would always listen to me and he was always down for an adventure! Seven years ago to the date, we took a road trip to Barton Springs. We skipped rocks, frolicked through fields (drunkenly), and watched bats fly around at sunset. Almost three years ago to the date, I was driving across the country and stopped in San Antonio for the night. Justin made time to say hi to me and I got to meet Carolyn for the first time. He was so incredibly happy! This was the last time I got to hear is laugh and I'm forever grateful he made time for me then and always! I miss you, JP! less

I was their trainer and they were my members. Now at 9Round it isn’t your typical gym. I know everyone who comes in and out of the gym and they know me. We become a tight knit little family there. That’s what happened with Carolyn and Justin. They were family. I loved working with them because they would always compete with themselves and see who would get the most pulse points. It was a joy to see them having fun and pushing each other. Justin always came in with a smile and left with a smile. The positive energy he had was contagious. He was a hard worker, a motivation...he was also my friend. I miss him dearly. Juggernaut wherever you are, I hope you are smiling down upon us...and are able to kick it wherever you are. Love you Justin and Carolyn. less
I am so grateful to have been a part of your life. I am wearing an oversized jersey today in your honor and plan on shooting some people with nerf guns. Rest in peace my friend.

You always had a smile on your face and spread such joy to everyone. You were the King 🤴 of Nerf wars & would crack me up with the various ways you would figure out how to get us. I remember the day you figured out the angle on the ceiling to target me behind the glass wall! I ❤️‘d how you shared your ❤️ Of Carolyn and told us how lucky you were to find your true love. You are truly missed. less

We did family reunions in NM at Grandma Short's house every summer. One such reunion, when we were young, we were all playing outside, chasing horned toads and things, and of course, getting dirty by being outside in the desert dirt. Anyway, after playing for a while, Justin comes in the house and tells everyone to check out his tan he got from being outside for so long! The older cousins tried explaining that it wasn't possible for him to be that tan already, but he wouldn't hear of it. Finally, grandma told him he needed to go shower. After showering, he came back to join everyone with this complete look of defeat on his face. We asked him what was wrong and he said "my tan washed away in the shower". haha He finally understood what the older cousins were telling him. It wasn't a tan, it was just dirt! less

I remember the first time was when Carolyn brought him to our Feyereisen family Christmas party. It can be overwhelming for new people since there are so many of us, but Justin was so open and friendly and easy to talk to. He did not seem fazed at all to be meeting so many of Carolyn's extended family. I could also see how much they cared for each other - their love was so obvious. His passing is so tragic, and Carolyn - I think of you often! Sending lots of love! less

He was a lot of fun to work with at Chilis, and was one of the few that worked for me at Chilis and then took classes from me when I started teaching at ASU! I was especially proud of him when he reached out to me and decided to do his MBA! He was a top notch student! I loved visiting with him when he came to Alamosa for his graduation dinner! If I had one statement to describe him it would be: infectious positive energy! He lit up the room! I will truly miss him, but am blessed that our paths crossed - I am a better person for it! less

My brain still sees you in any tall man with a beard that requires me to double takes all the time. You indeed left us too soon, but your impression on so many was a level of good that would have taken a normal average "Joe" three times as long to spread. I miss your kindness 😇 , your laughs 😂 , and hearing about how much you adore Caroline 💘 . less

Where do I start? Fuck man, you are missed. I've wanted to call you multiple times during this pandemic just to chat about life, laugh, and talk football.
I'll never forget meeting you at Pike when we pledged and just thinking I need to be friends with this guy...he's huge! He can protect me from anything! I can't count the amount of times that was probably the opposite in a good way. We had fantastic stories, memories, and just good ol' laughs.
The time I almost flew out of the back of your truck bed, the night we almost got in a fight because you decided to say the wrong words to some individuals that were trying to entire a themed party, the night we decided to shoot more fireworks in one night than I think I've shot in my entire lifetime while slightly (ok really really) intoxicated...
You were my brother in arms. Someone I knew I could count on, lean on, and be vulnerable with zero judgement what so ever. Someone who embraced my weaknesses and balanced me out with your strengths.
I'll never forget tailgating at Lobos games (as evidenced in the picture, you made a fantastic O!) and going to the girls basketball games with little attendance and your loud ass (freakishly like Chewbacca) voice resonating through the arena to where players would look at us like you were a crazy person.
I'll never forget singing karaoke with Chris and you Miley Cyrus's Wrecking Ball.
I'll never forget the time you almost sliced your finger off when we were making beef jerky and you thought it was hilarious that I was about to vomit every time your finger bent awkwardly.
I'll never forget the long nights drinking Jack, playing cards, or just sitting and talking about life.
Lastly, I'll never forget the night you told me about Carolyn. I was and am still so proud of you for finding that person in your lifetime.
You are missed. Beyond words, my brother. I know you are looking out over Carolyn, your friends, and family. Thank you for looking over us. Hope you are resting in so much peace. less

How he couldn’t believe he married his best friend who happened to be hot AF! Or just hanging, talking about the next workout or the next brisket. Justin never made ya feel weak, dumb or less fortunate. He and made ya feel like you could conquer anything. Miss him and all he that he shared. less

I would be focused on an assignment or a meeting and then all of a sudden "ding!," a nerf dart hits me right in the forehead. We had a cheesy Nerf Pro Elite Badge that we would give to the best marksman for that day. I'll be lying if I said that badge wasn't routinely on his desk.
He was so much fun to be around and always loved making people happy.

In reflection, I miss him everyday. In reality, he lives with me and in my heart everyday. I miss you buddy and your awesome bride.
Some days are hard, some days are easy, but a day does not go by that I do not think of you. I know you are dancing and smiling and making everyone laugh. What a glorious day it will be when we see each other again.
JP,
Randy and I want to thank you for the wonderful memories. You always had a positive outlook & always fun be around. Such a wonderful soul, gone too soon
