Justin Tyler O'Connel was brought into this world on Aug 27,1988 and taken from us to sit beside God on Oct.17, 2005. He was 17. In his short life he had touched so many lives; he loved children, taught bible school, and stood up for anyone who was done wrong. His accident was a freak car accident; there was construction being done on his route home, and someone had left a barrel out in the road. Justin swerved to miss it and lost control of the car and hit a telephone pole, he was going 45, the speed limit. Justin passed on later that night. Because Justin had gone to two different schools that year, there were over 100 family members, friends, students and teachers who attended his funeral.Over half of the students who knew Justin were SAVED shortly after his death.
