In recognition of this special milestone—what would have been Justin’s 30th birthday on Sunday, September 13, 2026—we warmly invite you to join us for a heartfelt celebration of his life, his legacy, and the extraordinary impact he made during his time on earth before receiving his butterfly wings.

This meaningful program will feature inspiring musical and artistic performances, heartfelt tributes, and special presentations by family, friends, and others whose lives have been touched by Justin’s remarkable journey. We will also hear from scholars and young leaders who continue to be inspired by his story, his accomplishments, and the values he so passionately embodied.

We are honored to welcome special guest Zena Edosomwan—Harvard-Westlake and Harvard University graduate, basketball player, author, and entrepreneur—whose own journey reflects the pursuit of excellence, creativity, and service that Justin championed.

The celebration will also feature special performances by talented singer-songwriters and classmates Molly Chapman, Greg Lehroff, and JCWWP Scholar Ryan Williams, along with other professionals who will honor Justin’s spirit by sharing their own gifts and creative expressions.

Guests will also be able to enjoy some of Justin's favorite food and treats as we gather in remembrance, celebration, and community.

Together, we will celebrate a life that continues to inspire hope, creativity, compassion, academic excellence, artistic expression, social justice, and positive change. Although Justin'’s time with us was far too short, his legacy continues to shine through the countless lives he touched and the dreams he continues to inspire.
