This memorial website was created in the memory of our loved one, Justin Barmore who was born in Louisiana on May 31, 1986 and passed away on June 25, 2005 at the age of 19. We will remember him forever.  Justin died in an accident in which one of his best friends was driving while intoxicated. 

Just wanted to let everyone know that wants to know, Jamie received a 2 1/2 year jail time sentence and 5 years probation that starts when he gets out. Charged were dropped down to Negligent Vehicular Homicide, after the approval of Justin's parents. Pam and Steve did a great job of speaking in court. I think everyone was crying. Jamie openly apologized to Pam, Steve, and Heather. The judge also said in case there was any misconception in the community... Jamie was the driver of the truck, not Justin. So just in case anyone was wondering, that's the way it is. Thank you to everyone who wrote letters on Justin's behalf, thank you for the support and prayers. They are greatly appreciated.

9-8-08  Update: Jamie ended up not having to stay in jail 2 1/2 years. He spent maybe 6 months, then got into a work release program. He is now out and married and living his life, only a year after sentencing. (What a wonderful judicial system we have!) Anyway, not going to get going on that, just wanted to update everyone, in case y'all didn't know yet. Thanks  


(If you notice some things missing, they are under Justin's legacy. I was trying to make the page load faster.)
Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal.



There are moments in life
when you miss someone so much that
you just want to pick them from your dreams
and hug them for real.


~~~Tears~~~

If tears could build a stairway,
and memories were a lane,
I would walk right up to heaven
to bring you home again.
No farewell words were spoken
no time to say goodbye
you were gone before I knew it,
and only God knows why.
My heart still aches in sadness
and secret tears still flow,
what it meant to lose you,
no one will ever know.



Justin
 You are and forever will be 
missed... 
 please watch over those you left  
behind.....

We used to pick on Justin about being a dough boy. He took it so well.








Sending Them To You Everyday!!!!

ANOTHER KISS FROM ALL OF US!!!!!!






I'm sorry I never told you
all I wanted to say
Now its too late to hold you
coz you've gone away
 
But I hope that when you returned to God
someone carried you all the way
And I hope I can find it in my heart
to understand why you couldn't stay
 
But for now I will accept my losses
keeping you always in mind
And when I get to heaven 
you'll be the 1st I'll come and find
                                                          






                         

                                       Justin loved to fish!!






This is one of the newspaper articles about Justin and Jamie's wreck.

At approximately 5:20 am in the early hours of Saturday, June 25, 2005, LSP Troopers investigated a single-vehicle crash which left one teen dead and another in critical condition. The crash occurred on North Spillway Road in Union Parish. Nineteen year old Farmerville resident, James E. Gates, was driving his 1996 GMC pick-up truck north on North Spillway Road when he entered a left-hand curve. The vehicle ran off the right side of the roadway, was overcorrected to the left, was then overcorrected back to the right, and ran off the right side of the roadway. The vehicle struck several trees and a culvert before it went airborne and overturned. The driver and his passenger, nineteen year old Justin W. Barmore from Marion, were not wearing seat belts and were ejected in the crash. Barmore was pronounced dead at the scene and Gates was transported to Union General with life-threatening injuries. Alcohol usage and a high rate of speed are suspected as contributing factors to this crash. Routine toxicology tests and charges are pending.


DON'T DRINK AND DRIVE!  JWB 


Jesus cried happy tears to be receiving such a wonderful angel in Heaven, while we cried sad tears for losing our angel.

                        



                                          Justin        



            



    You left us suddenly and we never had the chance to say good-bye.  You are now an Angel watching over us giving us strength to face the many challenges and changes we will encounter everyday.   We have so many memories of how wonderful you were.  Always there when you were needed and never failed to show how much you cared.  You enjoyed life and always there to make everyone feel welcome and special.  You left us way too soon, but the memories will last forever.


                                                I MISS YOU SO MUCH JUSITN,
                                                                      LOVE YOU,
                                                                            LORI



                                                        

                       The moment  that you died,
                       Our hearts split in two,
                       The one side filled with memories,
                       The other died with you.

                       We often lay awake at night,
                       When the world is fast asleep,
                       And take a trip down memory lane,
                       With tears upon our cheeks.

                       Remembering you is easy,
                       We do it every day,
                       But missing you is a heartache,
                       That never goes away.

                       We hold you tightly within our hearts,
                       And there you will remain,
                       Life has gone by without you,
                       But it will never be the same.














 
I think Justin grew at least a little bit on every person that he met. I don't think he ever met a stranger. He was just a real people person, with that infectious smile of his. Justin will never be gone from us, as long as we hold him close in our hearts, and that is where he will always be, until that fine day we get to see him again.










Justin loved to fish for anything, but bass fishing was his favorite, and he was good at it. He liked to hunt, especially rabbits, squirrels, and doves, and ocassionally deer hunting, especially if we were running dogs. He was very good at these things because, like his dad, he could sneak through the woods very quickly and very quietly. Justin also enjoyed 4-wheeler riding. The day before he died him and his friend, Jordan, went mud hogging. Justin went on my 4-wheeler and Jordan went on Justin's family's 4-wheeler. Judging from the look of my 4-wheeler, they obviously had a blast. Jordan washed the one he was on, but Justin didn't wash mine. :-) Maybe he was planning on going again Saturday. I guess we will never know. But it was something he loved do to.




Please light a candle for Justin!!!



          Perhaps they are not stars in the sky....
But, rather openings where our loved ones shine down to let us know they are happy.....
          
                     In Loving Memory Of
                    JUSTIN WADE BARMORE



Don’t want to be selfish, know you’re in a better place,
It’s just that I’ll miss seeing your smiling face.
It’s a shame you’re gone, taken so young,
I’d give anything to have you back, even a lung.

So many loved you- I hope you’re aware,
People like you are far, far too rare.
Although you were adored, 
you gave back so much more,
The room lit up as you stepped through the front door.

Energetic, Outgoing, Extraordinary since birth,
All understatements- rather an angel on earth.
Not mad at God, despite the hardship and strife,
Instead I thank him and celebrate your life.

One thing’s for sure about the fact that you’re gone,
You’ll be in my heart everyday from dusk until dawn.
Thank you for your friendship, be sure and take care,
You have fun in heaven, hope to see you there.
