For Justin's life was one of humble grace and indelible inspiration.

In times of sorrow and hardship, we often turn to the beauty of art to console our heavy hearts. As we remember our dear cousin today, let us turn to W.H. Auden's hauntingly poignant poem, "Funeral Blues."

Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone,
Prevent the dog from barking with the juicy bone,
Silence the pianos and, with muffled drum,
Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come.

Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead
Scribbling on the sky the message 'He is Dead'.
Put crepe bows round the white necks of the public doves,
Let traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves.

He was my North, my South, my East and West,
My working week and my Sunday rest,
My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song;
I thought that love would last forever: I was wrong.

The stars are not wanted now; put out every one,
Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun,
Pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood;
For nothing now can ever come to any good.

These powerful words speak to the depth of our grief and the immense void that Justin's passing has left in our lives. And although no words can adequately sum up the impact he had on us, we can find comfort in remembering the moments that made Justin so special.

Justin was the embodiment of love and support – a beacon of light for his family and friends. His warm, embracing presence was a constant source of strength and comfort. He was always there when we needed a hand to hold, an ear to listen, or a word of encouragement.

His humble nature belied an innate strength and nobility of spirit. Justin's life was an inspiring testament to the power of kindness, humility, and unwavering resilience. His legacy will live on in the actions and values of those who were lucky enough to have known and loved him.

We should honor Justin's memory not just through our tears but through the pursuit of the very qualities that defined him: love, understanding, humility, and encouragement. In this way, we ensure that his remarkable spirit will continue to live on and inspire us in our lives.

To my great cousin Justin, I hope that you find peace in the great beyond. We will always hold you in our hearts and cherish the countless memories we had the privilege of sharing with you. You may have left this world, but your spirit will forever resonate in our lives.

In closing, let us remember that Justin's memory lives on within each of us. As we continue to journey through life, let his inspiration guide us, his love uplift us, and his legacy empower us to face each day with courage, kindness, and hope.

Rest in peace, dear Justin. Your beautiful soul has left an indelible mark on our lives, and we will forever be grateful for having had the chance to love and be loved by you.
