Justin was raised and educated in Milton.  He graduated with high honors from Thayer Academy. Justin was an exceptional scholar-athlete who fulfilled his dream of playing college baseball at Union College in NY.  He eventually transferred to Boston College to be closer to home for treatment at MGH.  Even while on chemotherapy, he thrived as an Economics Major at B.C.  During his summers, Justin worked for Fallon Ambulance and John Hancock Financial Group.  Recently, he joined TEAM IMPACT; an organization dedicated to connecting children with life threatening illnesses to collegiate athletic programs around the country. Justin battled cancer with dignity and grace and was always respectful of others.  His infectious spirit touched everyone he met. He will be remembered for his quick whit, athleticism, leadership, competitive spirit, and his love for family and friends. He was an inspiration that taught all of us to appreciate life as it is, and every moment we have.
