Dear Shari and Mark and Breana,

I was so sad to hear of Justin’s passing. Ive been reflecting on Justin’s early days at Keshet when I was his teacher. He was so kind to students and teachers and therapists alike. Justin enjoyed learning, He was a chatterbox in his own way. One of my favorite aspects of working with him was his genuine enthusiasm for creative activities such as the Tommy Turkey book he made in class and then enjoyed so much as a bedtime ritual at home. Im so very sorry for your loss. I will always remember Justin with love.

Shari, Mark and Breana,
Our entire family sends deepest condolences on the loss of Justin. We have shared our delighted memories of the little fish he was at Ravinia Green! We have never seen a happier child in our lives!!! And watching all of you revel in his radiant, shining light was a privilege to witness. His glee, and yours in him, will be what we think of when we remember your amazing son and brother.

Justin was one of the first people I met and had the privilege to work with when I started at Gadol in 2013. I was very lucky to get to know him in his many spaces including: his work life, home life, and even vacation life. Justin taught me patience, love and how to live in the moment. I am forever grateful to Justin allowing me into his world. He is and will always be in my heart, and undoubtedly one of my favorite persons ever. Love you Justin Coe.

My first year working at JCC Apachi I got to meet Justin, as well as the pleasure of meeting Shari and Mark. Justin had the smile that everyone would love and taught me why u went into special education. After that year, I became a unit head and was honored to have him part of my units. Shari and Mark, Justin and the both of you taught me what it meant to be a teacher. His infectious smile his willing to show what we needed. May you all find comfort during this difficult time and know he shared his love for everyone.

My deepest condolences to your family. I will never forget from the time I have met you over 20 years ago, the love and dedication Justin always received. Justin was made to always feel like a Prince and he was truly blessed to be born into the Coe Family. Justin was always happy when I would come over enjoying the attention he received from Breanna and Zulie. He was always surrounded by Pure Love. May his Memory always be a blessing.

My sincere condolences to the entire Coe Family. I remember Justin well and his days as a classmate of my son Sebastian. I recall with warmth that each student had a jingle about what they liked and if memory serves it was “Justin Justin likes muffins”. More importantly, Justin was a calming influence on Sebastian and always brought out the best in Sebastian and others. He will be missed. Tom

My deepest condolences to the Coe family. Justin was an incredible friend to me. I loved everything about him and how he communicated and connected with others. He will always be near and dear to my heart. Below is a poem I wrote for him to honor him and how important he was and always will be to me. My thoughts and prayers are with you. ♥️

Sticker Ball ❤️♥️❤️♥️
Collections.
A build up of memories.
Sweet as sugar complexion.
You saw things from a unique perception.
A beautiful soul.
Sweetest of sweet.
Sugar tooth couldn’t match what joy you’d bring.
Coloring and presents.
Always so present.
Always such a gift.
My friend forever.
One I love dearly and will surely miss.
To think about each and everyday, how meeting you changed my life in incredible ways.
Always knew just what to say.
Even without words.
You always found a way.
To make the day brighter, to make it lighter.
I love you so much.
That is here to stay.
There will always be stickers in my heart of all the incredible times with you.
I’ll never forget.
You are one of a kind.
I love you.

Love Jordyn.

Justin and Gideon were classmates. Shari and I would see each other at school. We were parents of special children and we lived in the special universe of the Keshet School. There are no words good enough or complete enough to explain what our children have taught us about love and living. But that’s okay. After all, Justin and Gideon, without having words of their own, communicated all that we needed to know about having a meaningful life and deeply loving the family and friends who surround you. Gideon and our whole family have heavy hearts and send our love to Shari and Mark and the Coe family. We thank Justin for all the light he brought into our lives.

Some of my favorite memories are walking in the park with Justin and arriving home to find my pockets filled with leaves. Or Justin giving me beautiful drawings only to have him take them away just before I left and give them to another staff :). He was such a beautiful bright light n my day, and I will treasure my memories, but a piece of my heart will always be missing.
