Justin started working at an early age throwing Houston Chronicle newspapers and held various summer and afterschool jobs. His careers were with Weiners Department Store, Armco Steel, Exxon Pipeline, Genesis Pipeline and finally ExxonMobil Baytown Refinery. To this day he maintained life-long friendships and considers them as family. He was a hard-working man always willing and able to help anyone with their projects and volunteered countless hours to his neighborhood. He enjoyed riding motorcycles, antique cars, boating, fishing, surfing and most of all being with family. His most enjoyable times were building things for Kathy, working on cars and boats with Justin Aaron and Edward and repairing things for Jacob to ride. Justin fought a long and hard 9 ½ year battle with Mucosal Melanoma with the help of many doctors, nurses and staff at M. D. Anderson Cancer Hospital. The family would like to especially thank Dr. Adi Diab and his assistant Natalie Jackson for their loving care and support. We will be forever grateful.
