Even after reading all 10 pages of this thread, I still cannot believe it. OUR Justin? Impossible. No. This is too unfair to be true. It is ...wrong.
I am lost for words and thoughts.

... although we most work with words!
I can remember the nice smile and the kind person (saw him and you all in Argentina last year)...
There are pain in my heart and sadness in my soul!
Wish all the staff and Justin's family lots of energy and power to face such a terrible news!
I will be thinking of you!

MODERATOR | Glad I got to know him, so sorry he is gone | Sep 3, 2007 |
Justin has left a real legacy behind him, in all the work he did on ProZ.com, both in the infrastructure of the Site (I've had the opportunity to appreciate his handiwork up close), and in the many friendships he formed. I count myself among them. Not many 22 year olds could lay claim to his accomplishments!

| Such sad news | Sep 3, 2007 |
I never had any direct contact to Justin, but I do remember him very well from his messages to the forums. Such a cute and positive guy with a special touch! And all too young to die...
I just can't believe he's not among us any more. Lots of love and strength to his family, friends and colleagues. And hopefully his friend will survive.

My deepest sympathy to his family, and prayers for his friend Mark. May all these messages offer some small comfort to his family, as they see how respected, appreciated and loved Justin was by so many people around the world.

I never met him but when Bruna wrote me the news I went to see his profile (http://www.proz.com/pro/100058#).
It says:
About me
; - )
I hope ProZ will keep the page online.

| What a horrible tragedy! | Sep 3, 2007 |
With sadness in my heart, I'm rereading the few Justin's email responses. So young, so talented. Such a sad loss.
Goodbye Justin. You'll be sorely missed.
My heartfelt condolences to his family and friends.
At the same time, I'd like to add my prayers to Mark's recovery.
To both families, I pray for their courage in facing these trials.

I have no words for the loss of a son, of a friend, of a fellow who was always readily available to help us here.
Justin will live in our hearts.
