My Homie
My name is Kellen, I'm from Mesa, Arizona. I go to the University of Arizona. College has been an interesting ride for me (you live and you learn). My roomate Justin Gin died yesterday morning on Saturday August 25th. Without getting in to too much detail just say I was the last one to see him. You meet people along the way in life who you know are special. Those homies you know that you'll talk to forever when your friends fall off. Gin was the kinda cat that would give you the shirt off his back. Always a rider gettin me outta the house when I didnt wanna do anything. I might be moving outta my house and go back to Mesa just because. I got outta the house tonight because my other roomate is in Greece and has no idea what has happened. Gin would want me to go out and have a good time in his honor. We were goin to San Diego for Labor Day to chill and hit the beach because thats what he loved. I saw a friend out tonight and she hit the nail on the head. "Dont take the people that you have in your life for granted." Gin was my homie, say a prayer for him.
RIP Justin Gin

Words cannot express the size of Gin's heart and soul, but I think you did a pretty darn good job. My prayers are with you, Kell, and I hurt for your loss. I don't know what you feel or how you are coping, but if you need ANYTHING at all- like just to get out of the house- PLEASE contact me. I'm here for you!
Hugs

My heart is with you too kell. Gin sounded like a good dude. God bless him and his family/friends.
Its been a tough couple of weeks. Keep your head to the sky homie.
My heart goes out to you Kellen, as well as my prayers to the Gin family. I was shocked when I heard the news and even more so that you and Jordan didn't know yet. You were a great friend to him, and now your friends will do the same for you to get through this difficult time. Justin will remained loved and never forgotten.
I havent seen Justin in a minute... but it broke my heart to hear the news. So much love in that family... My heart, soul and prayers go out to all the family and friends. And I wanted to say thank you for writing this. Justin will always and forever be 'ridin' with us. If you need anything...my name is Brendan - 245-6592. Take care and stay up.
Kellen,
This is Jareau. I appreciate your description of Gin's personality and heart. He was a great friend and I will truly miss him. Thanks for taking the time to tell everyone what he meant to you. He has been my boy since 6th grade and I cannot yet comprehend the fact that I will never see him again.
I totally understand and respect your decision to move back to Mesa. Stay strong, and know that you are not alone in your emotions of lose and sadness.

Momster ( Justins nickname for me )
Kellen,
A lot of people knew Justin, as well did I. He was always the kindest, yet funniest kid I knew. He touched everyone who knew him. He was always in high spirits and could make anyone laugh who was having a bad day! I've known him since he was in 6th grade. My sisters went to school with his older brother and sister Jeremy and Jasmine. If anyone knows when the funeral is, please call me. I heard it's on Saturday, but no word of what time and where. PLEASE.. Thank you..

Justin was that kid that no matter where you were or how hectic your life was, just thinking of him would make you smile. He had the biggest heart of us all. I wish i would have been able to see him more recently, it is still hard to understand. We can cry and be lost without the him but the idea of him, the memory and moments we all have shared are what will allow Justin to continue on within us. I love you guys, i wish i could be in Tucson with you all, my heart goes out to you.

To all of Justin's family and friends. I will keep you all in my prayers. I can't say that I had the pleasure of being a close friend of Justin's, but I have known him since the 7th grade, and I have alot of close friends of whom Justin has touched their hearts. It has been really saddening for me to learn what happened. If anyone needs someone to talk to fell free to call. 623-225-8289

To all,
I have known Justin for years, and most recently I had the sincere pleasure of riding the UA CatTran from the campus with Justin on multiple occasions. I've been friends with he and Jasmine for years now, and I have always held them in the highest regard. Justin was a really genuine person with a heart of gold. He was always so kind and willing to engage with me on our short rides from Speedway to Glenn, and could somehow always make me laugh, and most importantly bring me up if I was feeling down.
It isn't too often that you have those types of encounters with people, and I feel very fortunate to have had those times with Justin. My heart goes out to his wonderful family, and I am so sorry for their loss.
I wish I were in Tucson to share in your mourning, but please know that my most sincere thoughts are with you all.
With love,
Matt Evans
We would sing the Ataris
Our whole senior year
You'd give great advice
Nothing less of sincere
When I lived down by campus
I'd see you drive by
One minute later
You'd by there sayin' hi
We would talk for hours
Life kept on passing
But we didn't care
We just kept on laughing
I remember in stats class
I'd twirl that thick hair
Always so happy
Now you're gone, life's not fair
With one goofy smile
Gray skies would turn blue
although I should've
Don't know if I thanked you
Remembering you now
Thinking of you tonight
Want to keep you here
But your soul's takin' flight
Until we meet again
You're in our prayers often
We'll always love you
You'll never be forgotten

Justin Thomas Gin Beloved son, brother, grandson, nephew, cousin, and friend... Justin was born on April 14, 1985 in Tucson, Arizona and left us to be with the Lord in heaven on August 25, 2007. Our hearts are broken as he leaves behind his father, Tommy Gin; his mother, Eva Ruelas; his brother, Jeremy; his sister, Jasmine; his Grandmother, Hang Gin and Nana Carol Nunez; as well as his many uncles, aunts, cousins, and dear friends. Justin was a young man full of life and ambition. He always did his best and worked hard. He was entering his senior year at the UA as a Communications major. We will forever remember his love, laughter, and kindness that made each of us a better person. Mijo, Bobo, Shorty, Little Man, Bro, we will miss you! Justin, you will always be with us in our hearts. Love you always, Dad and Momster.

I was absolutly shocked when I heard the news. I havent really talked to him since leaving Tucson 2 years ago, but I hung out with him more than anyone my last summer there. He had an amazing heart and an infectious spirit.. I will love him and miss him everyday till the day I am with him. My heart goes out to his family. He was taken from us too soon, but he will never be forgotten. Thank you for keeping his spirit alive. We will all pray for him. I LOVE YOU JUSTIN.
