Kevin, may God's grace be upon you and your family in this time of sorrow. we never know why these things happen but this happened while helping someone else and that says a lot about Justin. may the peace that passes all understanding comfort you in this hard time

I know his dad and pray that God's hand is upon this family. May the grace of God that passes all understanding comfort you in this time or sorrow.

Another angel gone to soon. RIP Justin.

You don't know me, but your family has been on my mind and in my prayers ever since I heard of this terrible, terrible incident. I am especially heartsick because I have a kind-hearted son of the same age and can see him doing the same thing to assist others in need. I am glad to see that you are a family of faith and that Justin knew the Lord. May He grant you strength and peace until you see your wonderful boy again. He is not alone - and neither are you!

As a fellow NMU alumni - please know the heroism your son showed, in time of need, was what we all hope we too would do...but never know if we'd have the courage! He must have been a terrific man with great courage & helping spirit! You raised him well! May he rest peacefully in God's Kingdom & may he continually leave you signs that he is indeed still right with you! Peace to you all!

To Justin's family:
I am sooooo terribly sorry for the loss of this precious, wonderful, young man that was a part of your lives. I had the honor of working with Justin the past two tax seasons at Wipfli LLP in Rhinelander. He was the kind of person you could tell made "good choices." He had so much to offer this world! I'm trying to understand God's plan right now. My condolences to Justin's family and Suzy, who he mentioned frequently, for a life cut short for reasons we will never know until we get there ourselves. God's Peace to each and every one of you. ~Elaine Thorn

We are so very sorry for your loss. What a wonderful young man Justin was. He will be missed by all. We will keep you all in our thoughts & prayers.

Kevin and Family, I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I will keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers.

I didn't know Justin personally, but I work at the Wipfli office in Appleton. My heart breaks for you. The women's Bible study group I attend is praying for your families. We take comfort in knowing that Justin is with our Lord. We know that a day is coming when 'He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.' (Rev. 21:4) We hope that you, too, will find comfort in this promise. May God wrap you in His loving arms.

prayers go out to the family! i don't know the family but you are in my thoughts!!!

Connie and Kevin I did not get to spend a lot time with Justin only at some family gatherings and he always had that smile and always had something nice to say a very nice young man. I will always remember every time I saw him out and about he would come over to us to say Hi We are very sorry for your loss Larry and Linda Lorbiecki

It breaks my heart to hear about your loss of a loved one. Although I don't personally know you, I want to say how sorry I am for your loss and that he is a real hero in my opinion.

So sorry for your loss. What a brave young man. God Bless you all.

I do not know the family but my heart goes out to them, he must of been a amazing man

He is so beautiful inside and out. I am so glad that he loved God. What a Hero he was. He tried to save my daughter's friend but the Lord had other plans. I am thankful there are other Justins in this world to try to keep our daughters out of harms way. THANK YOU JUSTIN. God has a special place in Heaven for him.

While I didn't know Justin, I am a fellow Wipfli employee. I pray that God grants him eternal rest and that God grants peace to his family and friends.

I did not know Justin but I felt compelled to send my most sincere sympathies to your family. You truly raised an amazing young man. I'm sure this does not help you right now but his courageous act of heroism has touched so many lives. He will never be forgotten. He is such a hero. Take comfort in that. Steve, Stephanie Harvala and family, Ishpeming MI

Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one's life for one's friends. - John 15:13

Bless his soul. Prayers to all whose lives he touched.

God Bless you!

May God bless your family and Justin's fiance at this difficult time. Sending much sympathy, love and prayers from Marquette. Your son is a true hero. Tom and Karen Anderson and Family

I didn't know Justin but read about his heroic act in the local news. My heart breaks for his family and friends and all who were blessed to know him - he sounded like an amazing young man. You are in my thoughts and prayers!

I didn't know Justin but I read about his heroic rescue attempt in the news. Reading his obituary and learning about the type of person he was is heart breaking - he sounded like an amazing young man. My sympathy and prayers for his family and friends.

My name is Paul Covert and I don't know your son but I know he is a hero. As I understand the events that occurred,Justin died trying to save my daughters best friends life - Kaylie. He must have known the risk he was taking when he chose to enter the water in an attempt to save Kaylie and her friend. It appears his dedication to doing the right thing,even at his own peril is engrained in who he is. He is a very,very brave young man and someone I will never forget. I would hope my son would be as brave as Justin but no one knows how they will react until the moment occurs. In Justin's case,when he saw an opportunity to help - he acted and did his best to save a couple people he didn't even know.

Wonderful caring person and a real hero. Thinking of his family and loved ones at this very difficult time. Sonya Freeman-Linna Marquette, Michigan

Solin and Schroepter families, please know you are in our thoughts and prayers. We are all so deeply shocked and saddened of Justin's passing - yet not at all surprised of his selfless act. We had the honor and pleasure of getting to know Justin through the Solin family and Northern Michigan University Volleyball. We spent many memorable weekends with Justin, Suzy, Kathy & Don in Marquette - and Justin's smile and kindness will never be forgotten.

Kevin,
Lisa and myself send our deepest condolences and you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.

I pray that the Lord helps all of you during this difficult time. Justin was a fine example of a Christian. I remember how he helped others on his baseball teams. He displayed true courage in trying to help a drowning person. May the Lord help you all during this difficult time. Love, the Will family.

True hero!!! Prayers to the family.

Sending prayers for peace for Justin's family, fiancé, and friends. He tried to save my sweet cousin and in doing so, lost his life. He is a hero to me, my family and all of her friends. What a special and selfless being. He, and you all, have my gratitude for eternity.

Kevin, Connie, and Kayla, and family,
We are heartbroken and so very sorry to hear about Justin. You are in our thoughts and prayers, much love, Craig, Karen, Carly, and Justine Jefson

Jesus said, "There is no greater love, than a man that lays down his life for his friends". Nor is there a greater loss than that of a child. God is with with you, He Loves you and holds you in His Arms right now. May His Great Love for you Sustain you in the days ahead. You are Blessed to have such an amazing son. Praying for you in Laona, Wi. Jeanie Mertens

I don't know your son but feel compelled to offer my most sincere condolences at the loss of such a courageous young man. The fact that he gave his life to help save others shows that he was selfless, caring and brave. My heart aches for your loss...

I only met Justin once and he was a chip off the old block. You could just tell how sincere and kind he was which is no surprise given how he was raised and who his parents are. it's a horrible shame that he has been taken from us but we will never forget his legacy of selflessness and compassion. A true disciple of Christ. God's peace to his family and the Solin family.

Our family's heart and prayers go out to yours. We do not know one another but the amazing act of courage that your son performed to try to save another has touched so many people so deeply. There is no greater gift and you should be so proud, you raised a great man. I hope you can find some comfort in knowing he is in a much better place. God bless your family and may he hold you close during this extremely difficult time. Sending our love, The Colling Family, Houghton, MI.

To Justin's family, I'm sorry to say I didn't have the honor to meet Justin, but I would like you all to know how very sorry I am for you all. I live in the community where Justin showed his unselfishness and tried to help another human being. My deepest sympathy to you all._Laurie

My niece Kayli is one of the women here was trying to help. Words can't express the comfort given that Justin tried to help, instead of just standing by. The loss of this special young man must be heart wrenching to his parents, fiancé, family and friends. My deepest sympathy goes out to all. To his parents, "thank you for raising such a wonderful human being" .Sheila Tansey Johnson

My heartfelt condolences to all of Justin's family. I didn't know him. I live In marquette and know the lake very well. That was a selfless act of bravery to attempt to aid those women. I am so sorry for your loss.What an exceptional young man. "In the arms of the angles may you find some comfort there"

I never had the pleasure of meeting Justin,but please know his family and friends are in my thoughts and prayers. He was a true hero for his actions and will FOREVER be remembered as one. From what I can tell,he was a truly special man who was taken far too soon. Our entire community shares in your grieving. Sending my love and prayers.

I am so very sorry to hear of Justin's passing. I had the pleasure of working with him for a few months at RTI surgical! I trained him in to do a lot of my work when I was on maturntity leave! He was very smart guy and a pleasure to work with! He crosses my mind here and there at work,just a few weeks ago I was wondering what he was up too when I saw his name on something! He was way to young and so heroic!

I am so very sorry for your family's loss. He sounded like an amazing person and the whole Marquette community mourns with you.

I have been told Justin was a younger version of Kevin. What a man he must of been. A room is prepared for Justin in the house of God.

RIP God bless the family

I cannot believe what has happened, I am so sorry for your loss. But him trying to help or save someone else does not surprise me in the least as to the character he had and unselfishness. I will never forget that smile and attitude he had with fellow team mates when I first met him. Words cannot express my feelings, so sorry

Am so sorry for your loss. Prayers are being sent from Suzy's Aunt Corinne, Uncle Mike & cousins Janine & Jennifer.

Such a heartbreaking tragedy! I am so sorry. May God give you the strength and support to get you through the next few days and continued support and love to be able to go on. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you!
