Justin Dewayne Haynes was born on March 9, 1994, in Huntsville, Texas, to Nickie Carol Haynes and Alfred Wayne Lewis.

He was baptized at Pilgrim Rest M.B. Church under the leadership of Rev. Jimmy Lawrence, where he became a devoted member.

Justin was a kind and loving person, always willing to help whenever necessary. He had a profound love for his family and friends. He grew up in the Hopewell Community in a close-knit family. Later, Justin moved to Huntsville, but he always returned to Hopewell to visit Aunt Jackie—home was truly his heart.

Justin worked at Lee Barron's, Texas Pride, and Iron Brothers. He enjoyed going fishing and spending time with his uncles.
