Justin was born on June 30, 1995, in Tomball, to his parents, Richard and Tabitha Eaker.

He spent his childhood growing up in Rockdale and Tomball with his siblings, Lisa, Allen, Josh, Sarah and Johnny. Justin had a joyful childhood and loved to spend time with his many siblings.

After he graduated high school, Justin began working on life skills for his journey ahead. During this time in his life, he met many of his closest friends. He was a very hardworking man, took great pride in his work, and was valued by his coworkers.

Justin met the love of his life, Amber, while working as a cashier at Walmart with her. Amber truly made Justin a believer in love at first sight. He would oftentimes remind her that he fell in love from the moment he laid eyes on her. Justin and Amber married, and had four children together, all of whom they loved dearly.

In Justin’s spare time, he loved to play any and all kinds of music and enjoyed sharing his favorite songs with others. He also had a passion for skateboarding and frequently made trips to the skate park to learn and practice new moves.

A great passion of Justin’s was helping others in need. He was supportive and tenderhearted when it came to helping family, friends or even a stranger. Because of this quality, Justin aspired to one day become a counselor and oftentimes talked about his dream.

The most important thing in Justin’s life was his family. He loved them with all of his heart and always made sure to make time for them. Some of his favorite memories were made while spending time with his family in Louisiana. He always cherished every moment he got to spend with the ones he loved the most.
