I have only known Justin for three, all to short, years, but he touched me, like so many others, with his all encompassing love and his true gift of understanding an individual. My brother-in-law said it best when he said: "Justin was the type of person who when he asked how your day was, he really wanted to know." Justin had a passion for learning, a genius for working, a gift of listening, and a joy for playing. If Justin was involved, it was a great time. Boys night will not be the same.
Justin was a patient man who was always considerate and temperate. Justin was a tender man who always seemed to know what to say. Justin was always had an easy smile, a ready hug, and a contagious positive attitude. His wisdom and insight are irreplaceable. His laugh and cowlick are unforgetable.
The greatest thing that I can possible say about Justin was that he loved his wife, his children and his family with everything that he had. No one can question his love for his family. He was a good man, a great husband and a wonderful father. He was a role model to everyone that knew him and his influence has shaped the collective destiny of his family. He was the best of men.

To find words to relay your feelings at a time such as this is almost impossible, especially during the shock of it all. My heart hurts when I think of your wonderful family and the pain you're feeling. We are all praying that you'll feel the comfort of the Savior's Atonement during this time and that your family will come together to love and comfort each other and to and remember Justin's wonderful impact on so many lives.
Justin and I became friends when he worked with me for a short time and Nicole was in our ward when she was converted to the gospel. My wife was her visiting teacher. (in case you didn't know who we were). Justin was an awesome guy who always had a smile on his face. He had a marvelous love for life and seemed genuinely happy to be your friend. He was so in love with Nicole and on the few occasions that I would run into him he was always excited about what he was doing and always had kind words to say about his family. My heart goes out to Nicole and his children, and you Amy who I didn't know, and to President and Sister Bluth and the rest of the Bluth Family. I know Justin is anxiously engaged in the Lord's work to those on the other side who need the gospel. You are in our prays

Amy, when my parents told me the news about your brother my heart sank. I am so deeply sorry for your loss. My sister Stephanie and her husband Jerel were very good friends with him in high school. They keep saying what a wonderful person he was. I think this tribute was so sweet and touching. You and your entire family are in our thoughts and prayers!!
There aren't two better people on the planet than Justin and Nicole. I love those guys, despite the fact that we haven't stayed in touch over the last few years.
My heart aches for everyone involved. However, what a comfort the knowledge of eternal families brings.
Thanks for the tribute. I know I will never forget the example that Justin was to me.
Love,
Brian Critchfield

Thank you for that very touching and sweet tribute. Justin is a wonderful person with such a loving heart of gold.
My friendship with him was in high school and the memories I have of him will be treasured forever. Our hearts go out to the entire Bluth family and to Nicole and her four sweet boys.
Our thoughts and prayers are continually with them daily and we pray for comfort and peace for your entire family during this very difficult time.

Justin and I were friends and roommates at BYU for several years, and when you live with someone for that long you feel like family. Although Justin and I had fallen out of touch for the past few "child rearing" years (and with him living in AZ and me in CA), learning of his unexpected passing has been absolutely heartbreaking news for me and our circle of friends from college. There honestly aren't words to describe the anguish and loss we all feel.
I am thankful to have known Justin and to have been his friend and roommate. He was always laughing, smiling, and trying to figure out how to make life fun and enjoyable. And he didn't have a mean bone in his body. He was one of the kindest, gentlest people I've ever known. He had such a good heart.
My prayers are with you, Nicole, and your boys. I'll be coming to the funeral on Friday. May God comfort you, the boys, and your extended families.

Amy, I'm so sorry to hear about your brother, you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers!! Love ya tons, Nick & Jenny
Thanks for posting this loving tribute. I too have only known Justin since joining this wonderful family. Your words were perfect. I am so sorry for this horrible loss. I will miss him, but my prayers are for you and your family. I love Nicole and pray the Lord will bless her throughout her life. I am so sad, but know that our Savior will be there to walk along this road of mourning with you. I am in Idaho and just found out today that I will not be able to be back for the funeral. I am sad that I will miss the loving tributes and words. He is a wonderful man.
I'm so sorry Amy. Your family will be in our prayers.
Justin was a friend to me in high school. I've always appreciated his friendship. He often went out of his way to talk with me and make me feel important. My heart goes out to his family. You are in my prayers. Justin was a good man and I firmly believe you will see him again, after this life. God bless you all in your time of tragedy. I know the pain of losing a brother. In 2000 we lost a beloved brother. Look to our Heavenly Father for strength and support and He will help you through the difficult times.
Every member of your family have been in my prayers and on my mind, but specifically Nicole and her beautiful boys.
I pray that peace will come and the love you feel as a family and for The Plan will only grow through this experience.
Love,
Jourdan Bluth Boynton
