My deepest sympathies to your family at this very, very sad time. I cannot begin to imagine what you are feeling, but I know it must be the worst feeling one has to endure. Your young son just recently home from his mission and now onto another mission and you just can't understand the reason why. I pray that God will bless you with comfort, peace and understanding.
I work at Utah State part of the College of Ag and we are just heartbroken to lose these special young men. Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you.

I am so sorry to hear about Justin. I became very close to him while he served in the Tampa singles branch. He ate at me house every Monday night and we certainly had a lot of fun. Right after he got transfered from my ward I left for my mission to Salt Lake City Temple Square. About 3 weeks after he had come home from his mission I was able to see him. I was actually in a wheelchair at that time and he pushed me up the hill to my apartment which happened to be where his truck was parked. I had seen many pictures of the truck. We talked about it all the time when he was serving. I was actually sent home from my mission a week after that and he was the only one that I was able to see for the entire 6 weeks that I was sick. Many people came to visit but I am so thankful that he was the one I saw. He was a great guy and a good friend. I will always remember him. I know that I will once again be able to eat dinner with him and so will you. Stay strong and remember that you're not alone!

Dear Huggins family and loved ones:
(I am Kristy Malone's father-in California). I remember often hearing Kristy tell of the great times she and Justin had--I think I might have talked with him a few times on the phone, while calling Kristy--there was a time he was always close by.
My heart goes out to you at this time, and you will be in my thoughts and prayers, as will Justin.
By all accounts, he was a wonderful young man who touched everyone he dealt with in a positive way.
Thank you for the wonderful years your son shared in friendship with Kristy. I know she is a better person for having known and grown up with Justin.
God Bless You.

We too know the tragic and helpless feeling of burying a child. The Lord must have had a plan for a group of young men to better serve him on the other side. Please accept our sincere condolences at this very difficult time in your life and Please try to remember HOW HE LIVED rather than, how he died. We are acquainted with his grandparents who we know are very saddened with this tremendous loss.
May the Lord bless you and your family with peace and consolation.

Dear Huggins Family,
I served in the Tampa Mission with Justin. I was his district leader when he was in Apollo Beach and we went on exchanges often. I was sad to hear the news of his passing. I'm glad, however, that I had the opportunity to know him. I have so many fond memories of those days and still think of him every time I use whole milk instead of non-fat or low-fat. I've never met somebody who loved milk that much. He taught me a lot about the creamy goodness of whole milk. Justin was a great example to me and countless others; I'm sure that he is continuing about his Father's work on the other side.

We are so sorry for your loss. I know right now there are no words for what you're feeling, and imagining your life without your dear son seems impossible.
My son Ryan was killed last summer when a baseball hit him in the neck. I do know what a comfort it is to know that he is ours forever. We will see him again, and we will live with him for all eternity. We also truly believe that our boys are in a better place, and that they have been taken simply because they were too good for this earth.
Please know our prayers are with you, and that time will ease the pain a bit. Also know that you will have times when you feel Justin by your side, and you will know that he is there to help you in your time of grief, and this will bring you comfort.
With Much Love,

I remember always seing his smiling face, and knowing that he had a great love for our Father in heaven and his gospel. I'm greatful that i had the chance to get to know him and will always remember him for the great work he did on his mission. I know that our Father in heaven is very proud of him and so is his family.

To Justin Huggins' family,
I lived underneath Justin this year at Bridgerland. I wanted to tell you about something he told me-- because it has helped me. About a week before the accident, Justin came in (in his baseball uniform, swinging his bat) and we were talking. I don't remember how we got on the subject, but I remember he told us that he wasn't afraid to die, because the Lord knew when he needed him. Whether he was taken in a car accident, by heart attack or just old age-- it didn't matter, the Lord knew what He was doing.
I've found a lot of comfort knowing that "If ye are prepared, ye shall not fear," and that Justin wasn't afraid to die. I know he was prepared. He's a great guy, and I'm so glad I had a chance to know him.

Justin was my trainer on my mission. He is a good friend that truly helped me learn how to serve the lord with all my heart, might, mind and stranth. When he was around you knew that you would both have a good time and be uplifted. You also knew that your milk was not safe. I know that he is doing what he does best in the spirit world and that is to teach the gospel. He will never be forgoten and it will be good to see him one day.

I do not know your family, but when I heard of this tragic loss, I cried. I know all to well the pain that your family is going through at this time. I lost my 16 year old brother to a car accident also. It is now coming upon 1 year in November. If I can give your family any advice to help you get through these hard times, I would just tell you that when times get hard just tell yourself that you have to get up and accomplish something for Justin. This advice was given to my family and I know with out a doubt that it had helped our family. My our Heavenly Father's choices blessing be with your family at this difficult time. We all must find comfort in knowing that the day we all can reunite will be a joyous day in Heaven. My thoughts and Prayers are with your family at this time.

I also had the opportunity of serving with Elder Huggins. I have one very specific memory of standing outside of a grocery store in the Southern Part of our mission singing hymns to everyone that walked by. I actually have some of our experience on tape. I sat up last night and while working through some thoughts I was having I felt guided to search for Elder Huggins on google. I came across this blog and my heart was touched. I was so humbled last night by your burden Sister Huggins. I was impressed to repent and begin to live life in a much fuller manner. May the spirit comfort you during this time without your son. My prayers will be with you and your family. Email me any time you need a listening ear. Schmauss1@gmail.com

I remember hanging out with Justin Huggins on P-Days on my mission. The guy was a real stand up man, and a very good missionary. I can't think of 1 single negative thing about this guy. It was a pleasure to know him, and every now-and-then I think of Elder Huggins. It's important to be like Justin and live a honorable life!
