Justin had most recently been employed at Walmart DC and various agricultural jobs.

Growing up Justin was a multi-sport athlete, playing football and running track for Sunnyside High School and Prosser High School. One of Justins greatest achievements was the start of his music career at the age of 21. Stage-name “Jay Rover”, his music was produced by Space Station Entertainment where he released several songs such as Pedestal, Dejavu, and Pain. His positive and energetic music style told real stories and inspired youth to fight for their dreams.

Overall Justins proudest moment in life was his daughter Luna. Although he dealt with a lot of loss in recent years such as losing his mother and father and other personal turmoil in his life, Justin always had the most contagious smile on his face. Justin had countless friends and for those who had the opportunity to meet him knew the loving, caring, and incredible soul he had; he focused on cheering up those around him with his jokes and he prioritized family as well as helping others in his community out.
