Justin I miss your kind caring heart, I wrote this poem in your memory. Words can't describe how much you are missed... A Poem in Memory of Justin Chlebus By: Mariana Roberts Eternal flames rising in the East unveil a curtain from my eyes, the waking moments of your serenity. The sunrise of your selfless being. The moonlight of your soul skating across the midnight sky. The glow around your gentle face. Oh heavenly angel, you render all of life's suffering with a blissful merriment; A taste of the unknown. Embers casting a warm glow, shedding tears from your beautiful face, immersed with raindrops splattered in the wind. The dried up Rose still entraps the scent of your memory, a handprint of time. The night sky eclipsed handfuls of souls and welcomed you as I watched \" 99 Red Balloons Go By \" Invoking a serenity of bliss calling out your name. The icing on your Birthday cake left a sweet taste in our hearts. A silent gust of wind blew away the candles of youth, leaving behind a prominent monument of your being. Gazing upon a Stairway to Heaven marked with your binding footprints I sigh... Dearest Justin, pour out the stars that harbor in your eyes, you have the gift to unleash them now. Let your triumphant soul instill it's kindness into our hearts. Come hither; lay against the white clouds squeezing the tears from your youthful grace. Rain down on us with splashes of love. Be the thunder echoing in our hearts, a carnival of thoughts and feelings. Rise with a wave of the ocean, a touch of shelter entwined with your generosity. I miss the tender spirit of your grace, lying asleep beside the tree of life. The tree forever stained with an enchanting memory; captivating every living being fortunate enough to have shared the breath of life with you. Rest in peace dearest Justin until we meet again, you are forever missed... ~Mariana Roberts

It should not have happened this way Justin, it is only 22 and there was much to get from life. I seriously sympathize with the situation, may be it was not your mistake. It is not about any god or devil, but one owes onseself so much carefulness in this wild world. This should not have happend to you. I am honestly sorry. That age is much too dear. I wish you to rest in all peace. Brandis

Written by S.R. Bandi of Berlin, Berlin

I know for certain that we never lose the people we love, even to death. They continue to participate in every act, thought and decision we make. Their love leaves an indelible imprint in our memories. We find comfort in knowing that our lives have been enriched by having shared their love. Thank you Justin, God Bless your soul and may you rest in peace.

Hi Justin, this is just to say goodbye. I hope you are happy wherever you are. We'll be missing you. Tom

Written by Tommaso Benzi of Rimini,

Rest peacefully, Justin, and may those whom you loved, and who love and must miss you dearly, find consolation in their memories of you.

Written by Oyinda Daramola of Lagos, Nigeria

What does one say to console those after the loss of someone so young? Words cannot dull the pain one feels in their heart after something so tragic. Nevertheless, it is my wish for you to know we are out there willing to share your pain. My heart aches for your family and for the world, because the world is a little less bright today without Justin. My shoulder is here if you need it; my heart is with you already. Know you have a friend and my door is always open.

Written by Al Young of Central Square, NY

Justine! You have returned to where you were twenty-five years ago, and all of the current adults will be sooner or later. However, the marked difference in your departure to that land of permanent abode is: Compared to others, you shall remain young forever. And amongst the mortals surviving upon this insignificant third planet from the sun, you shall not see any old age here. Permanent peace is yours, youth and good health is yours! However, the living are grieved, and that is natural on their part, for your good qualities and intelligence and all that is the good of life was worthy of their love, and is worthy of their grieving as well. Life and Nature! Grant them courage and capacity to bear this irrepairable loss. Ramesh Bhatt

Written by Haydee Incicco of La Plata, Argentina

I have been trying for hours to write this message, but every time I try to express my "Justin experience" and face the dry, merciless truth that you will no longer be there for us, the sadness is so bitter that I can't write a word. Adi?s amigo. I enjoyed every single moment we shared. What a pity that you had to go so soon.

Written by Enrique Cavalitto of La Plata, Argentina

Hi Justin! Today, I reread our Skype chats and I smiled through my tears. Last night, we opened a bottle of wine and drank to you. This is the second day, I have a candle burning for you. Say hi to my dad if you happen to meet him. He didn't speak English but I'm sure you'll understand each other anyway...and I think you'd get on, too. Bye, Justin.

As usual I've trouble to find the right words in such situations. You had seasons in the sun, but the sun seems now to be gone, leaving us sad and shocked. We'll miss you

Written by Jerzy Czopik of Dortmund, Germany

Dear Justin's family, I am very sorry to hear the loss of your son, brother and loved one. I got to know Justin a little bit and I am shocked by the sad news. He was such a bright young man and always helpful. It hit home for me, since I also lost my husband , just last September, on a motorcycle accident. There are no words to express the loss and no words make sense in this situation. From personal experience I can only say that cherishing his life and spirit is one of the best ways to deal with this now. I do not understand why some of the best people are taken so young; maybe they are needed on the other side. I hope you will get all the support you need and I hope that you will allow others to help you. Please let me know if I can do anything to help you, through this difficult time. My sincere condolences, Monika Coulson

Dear Justin, we have never met personally, but the Cyberspace has become so deserted, so lonely without you! We all will miss you so much. See ya...

Written by Natalia Kulikowa of Warsaw, Poland

I remember when I met you in Buenos Aires a year ago. You had such a big and wonderful smile, and I said to myself, 'look at this young boy, so talented, intelligent and nice, and he is only 21 years old. Congrats!' I can't believe that you are not here anymore, that you won't help me with the 'supports tickets' as you always did. Justin, we will miss you!

Written by Clarisa Morana of Buenos Aires, Argentina

Adi?s, querido Justin. You were a charming and bright person and we won't forget you. May Our Lord help your family and friends to overcome your early departure.

I'm deeply moved by your premature death, you had so many friends all over the world. My condolences to family and friends, I share your immense loss.

Written by Gianfranco Manca of Sao Paulo, Brazil

I didn't get help from you because I never submitted a ticket ... but we sat side by side eating pizza and drinking beer and talking about music and your impressions about Argentinians and Buenos Aires ... and we had lots of fun ... and I realized what king of human being you are ... I should say were ... but I still refuse to ... Justin, one way or other, you've always made everybody feel better ... which means you belong to the hard-to-find club ... I hope that, wherever you are, you can "see" how loved, liked, respected, etc. you've been ... and you can feel our arms around you. You've made a difference! My thoughts and prayers are with you, your family, friends, colleagues ... We'll always miss you!

Written by Claudia Berison of Buenos Aires,

My heartfelt condolences to Justin's family. May you find all the strength you need in these tough times. May all the love Justin created in this world with his kindness help you keep strong. Know that your son will always live in our memories and thoughts. Rest in peace, Justin, and always keep your angel's smile.

Written by ?zden Arikan of Werther, NRW, Germany

Dear Justin: maybe you are not anymore to be seen in this world. But you have not passed away: you remain with all of us. Those who met you in person, and those who didn't. You are in every possible corner of the unending space that surrounds us. You will keep smiling for ever in our souls.

Written by Fabio Descalzi of Montevideo, Uruguay

It was not easy to write this one too... Hi Justin, I just can't believe I will not ever see your Skype icon green again :( Thank you for all the help you have given me and all the ProZ community over the years- and you did it so cheerfully, seems without any effort- and yet so efficiently... If there ever will be proposed a unit for "said and done" measurement, I certainly would propose it to be measured in JustinZ. May God love you and care for you as you cared for others, my dear Friend, and I very much hope to see you when my time determined by Him will come.

Written by Uldis Liepkalns of Riga, Latvia

Justin was one of the most caring friends I could have ever asked for. After school days during senior year with him and the guys are some of my most cherished memories. I'll always love Justin as a friend and as a human being. May he rest in peace while he watches over his family, friends, and Mark.

My boyfriend Jim and I had the pleasure of being neighbors and friends with Justin. It's difficult to find people with the altruistic character and easy going personality Justing had.

Written by Rachel Polansky of Syracuse, NY

I never met you in person Justin, but you helped me a number of times this side of the globe with my IT problems, getting my website up, etc. I was always impressed by your willingness to help, your knowledge and most of all by your kindness. You were always patient and cheery, despite my often inane questions. I was really saddened when I read the awful news and my heartfelt wishes go out to your family and friends - all over the world.

Written by Denyce Seow of Germany,

Dear Patty, Jim, Matt ,and loved ones of Justin, We are deeply saddened to hear of your loss! Your entire family is in our prayers. I clearly remember both Matt & Justin since our daughters were in the same grades and classes at Elmcrest. I easily recall Justin's precious, mischievous smile and what an adorable Tweedle-Dum (or Tweedle-Dee) he was. Somehow it didn't surprise any of us that he was such a world traveler. He seemed ready for adventures as early as kindergarten! We are all praying that you will find comfort and peace. God bless you all at this most difficult time.

Hey Jus, I can only take comfort from the fact that I did have the opportunity of telling you how much you meant to me. I'm so glad that I got to know you better despite the distance. So many conversations,so many jokes so many memories... The world seems darker and colder without you. Oh boy...I truly miss you! Ro

ven though I know Justin via support tickets at his work, he is very memorable for his wondefully pleasant and obliging manner. His death at such a young age is a tragedy: if he has already left this impression, what wd it have been 20 or 30 years down the line? My sincerest condolences to his parents and to his brothers and sisters, his friends, and his colleagues at work.

Written by Alicia Casal of Ciudad de Buenos Aires, Buenos Aires

Justin, It hasnt been that long since you've been gone, but already I miss you so much. Never has anyone in my life been so important and crucial to my success. I remember when Miranda and I first broke up, you called me and my sister up and told me to come up and move into your house that night. And even in all the upset times you still brought me and her back together, because you didnt like to see your friends upset. You would do anything for any of us, and again Justin, for that, i know you are receiving the most incredible gift right now. I know you are jamming out on your acoustic and trying to learn more dave. I just wish I could argue with you about music one last time, and to this day I still think punk sucks!! haha. I miss you brother, and there will not be a day that goes by that you will not be thought about. Rest In Peace my friend, Rest In Peace. I Love You. Your friend always, -Josh Walts

Written by Giusi Gatta

I've only talked with you briefly, Justin, and it seems this was my loss. I'm not sure who actually wrote this poem, but it seems to fit: Don't Grieve for me for now I'm free, I'm following the path God has laid you see. I took His hand when I heard Him call, I turned my back and left it all. I could not stay another day, To laugh, to love, to work, to play. Tasks left undone must stay that way, I found that peace at the close of day. If my parting has left a void, Then fill it with remembered joys. A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss, Oh, yes, these things I too will miss. Be not burdened with times of sorrow. I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow. My life's been full, I've savored much, Good friends, good times, a loved one's touch. Perhaps my time seemed all too brief, Don't lengthen it now with undue grief. Lift up your hearts and peace to thee, God wanted me now, He set me free.

Written by Yuri Geifman of Toronto, Ontario

Dear Justin's family, I have "met" Justin only online and have had the chance to enjoy the lovong & caring nature of Justin, the friendly and promt kind of help that he always gave to me.

Written by Vinose Augustin Raj of Chennai, Tamilnadu

An unfillable void has been left in the family and the lives of the many people he touched, knowingly or not. Justin was a positive energy in a world of so much negative, and his mere presence made any situation more enjoyable. I did not get to know him as well as I would've liked to, but he always had a smile on his face, and was always willing to do what he could to help anyone around him. He did not believe in putting off to tomorrow what he could complete today, and was quite successful in his career because of it. He could've had a million girlfriends if he wanted but stayed clear of relationships because his friends, family and job were the things that were important to him. I'll never forget those nights hanging out in the basement with him, his faceplate case, and listening to DMB and OAR. Nobody should die at 22 years old, especially someone with so much energy and zest for life. He will be deeply missed by many. I'd like to live more like Justin did- "Celebrate we will, for life is short but sweet for certian." But I'm sure he's sitting on top of the world with his legs hanging free.
