Justin was my cousin. I remember when I first moved to North Carolina, I was in the 9th grade and that’s when he was just starting Central University. I always remembered him as a cool guy. Always smiling and always wearing the latest fashions. This was cool because I’m into that myself and by him being my older cuz he made an impression on me. I just remember us chilling and on the computer listening to music talking about school and how it’s easy just do your work and study like he did. (This helped me remember that school isn’t hard.)
It really hurts that I won’t be able to hang out with out my older cuz anymore or get advice from him. It really hurts and, I wish I could be with my family right now. And I still don’t know the whole story about his tragic death.

His sister wrote this about him:
"STATEMENT FROM THE FAMILY OFJUSTIN D. COSBYJune 13, 1987 – May 19, 2009
The immediate and extended family of Justin Cosby is extremely grateful for all of the love and support from friends, neighbors, childhood and college friends, and everyone that has extended support in this trying time. Justin was loved and respected by everyone that he came into contact with, as there as there are so many that have a positive story to tell when speaking of his kind heart, comical ways and loving nature. “The boy with the smile that would always lend a hand” is how so many have referred to him through the hundreds of people that have been to visit with our family over the last couple days. We are still in disbelief of the horror and shock of Justin’s murder. He was not a “hoodlum” or “gangster” - people actually laugh at the thought of him being referred to in that manner.
Justin was a fashion trendsetter, basketball player, student and self-admitted “mama’s boy”. He was looking forward to picking up new studies, furthering his aspirations to become successful and marrying his long-time girlfriend. We know that Justin’s wings will be on our shoulders to help us survive God bringing him home for bigger tasks than he can do here on Earth.
In support of the family, the Justin Cosby Memorial Fund has been established and donations can be received at any Bank of America nationwide.
The Wake will be held on Saturday, May 23 from 3:30 – 4:30pm at The Concord Baptist Church at 190 Warren Avenue (at West Brookline St.) Boston, MA 02116. The Funeral service will immediately follow the Wake at the same location. Justin will be buried in his hometown of Richmond, VA.
Our angel Justin will be missed and will always be in our hearts and memories.
