Justus Heldenbrand
ODESSA — Justus is a young man who, even though he struggled with a long-term illness, loved being with his parents and friends in the door-to-door work of Jehovah’s Witnesses. He knew Jehovah to be a God of Comfort. He has been full of love and life that radiated in all that he’s done. He enjoys playing with his animals and caring for his wolf.
His greatest joy has been sharing the hope of a paradise earth as Revelation 21:3-4 described: where the dead will return to an earth where there will be “no more sorrow, no more pain and no more death.” His family and a large group of close friends now look forward to that very day, when he himself will be resurrected on that paradise earth that he so fondly looked forward to. To discuss Justus with his family and friends, you’ll find many stories and experiences that show how much Justus really loved those around him and his heavenly father Jehovah.
