Condolences
The family of Justin F. DeBoer has received the following condolences.
I know I don’t know the whole family but I knew Justin. Justin came into my life when I was a teenager and his girlfriend’s parents were my neighbors in Albert Lea. I’m now 30 and remember Justin so vividly. He took me under his wing when I was struggling with things as a teenager.
He brought me to the fair once because he knew I didn’t have anyone to go with and he took me to the movies and Culver’s and did stuff an older brother would do with a sister. I never had a big brother to watch out for me and he was the closest thing I had to one.
He was so kind and a gentleman and just one of the best humans I have ever come across in my life. I’m so thankful for my time with Justin (and his dog Dakota at the time!) This world will not be the same without him. My thoughts, heart, and condolences go out to his family and sons. What an honor I had to be able to meet this earth angel. I will forever be grateful for him and my memories. I don’t remember a lot from back then but I remember my memories with him which means they are all wonderful. Thank you, Justin. I will never forget you.
So sorry to hear this news. Justin was one of my first friends, I have nothing but fond memories. Hugs and love to all of you.
Janelle Stahl and family

This is more than one memory, this is for all the times Justin was there for Sam , you and Brady were like older brothers and I am thankful for that
We are so sorry to read this. God has taken Justin for a reason we will not know. God Bless you and your loving family!
I just don’t know what to say. If love alone was enough to keep you here, you’d still be here. You were loved by so many. You never hesitated to help me and the kids with so many things. You always had a smile on your face and are the BEST dad to your boys. You were more than a cousin, you were like a brother too. Please give my Dad a hug.
a devoted father! Driving hours to take in ball games. Always a smile on his face. Your positive attitude has definitely rubbed off on your kids. It was an honor getting to know you.
Our heartfelt sympathies to you all. Know that our thoughts and prayers are with you.
I’ve known Justin since he was about five years old, there is so many memories and so many of them are flooding through my mind. He’s always been such a sweet person. I am truly gonna miss him. I’ve had many great conversations with him and have given him all of his crazy hair cuts over the years
