Justin Lynn Bolton went to heaven on Tuesday, November 13, 2007 at home in the arms of his loving parents, surrounded by family. He was 6 years old. Justin was born in Lubbock on November 16, 2000 to Monte and Tammy Bolton.
Although Justin struggled for 5 years with a devastating disease, his spirit and determination never gave up. He was a blessing to his family and friends and all of those that came in contact with him. His smile was infectious and everywhere he went people were drawn to him. Anyone who knew Justin, knew that his favorite toys were hot wheels, race tracks, trains and tractors. He loved playing with legos and play-doh and if you were lucky enough he would make you a play-doh sandwich with play-doh cheetos and a play-doh drink. Justin’s passion and determination for life showed through his passion for his toys and cars. He loved driving and competing with his RC cars. He persevered in anything he started. His friends were dear to his heart and he loved communicating with his friends who always knew exactly what Justin was saying even without words being spoken. Justin always made people laugh and always won everyone’s heart and smile in return.
Justin was a 1st grade student who was homebound through Cooper North Elementary where the school went above and beyond to provide anything to Justin that he needed. Justin also attended Melonie Park Church for Tuesday School where he also found enormous love and support. Justin spent much time at Covenant Children’s Hospital and Covenant Children’s ICU where he was given all the love and support anyone could ask for. The family would like to thank all of the doctors and nurses who gave considerable time and love to healing Justin. Justin’s family would like to give a great big hug and thank you and a big smile from Justin to all of those people who gave him their love and support.
Justin was a perfect son, a perfect brother, a perfect grandson, and a perfect friend. Justin lived every day to its fullest and loved every minute he had with his family and friends.
Justin is survived by his parents, Monte and Tammy Bolton and his sisters, Marissa and Megan of Lubbock; grandparents Charles and Maxine Bolton of Lubbock; grandfather Don Phillips of California and grandmother Milly Westbrook of Missouri; great-grandmothers Fannie Price of Arkansas and Ina Dumont of California; uncle’s and aunt’s Ragan and Cherie Holt of Idalou, Jerry Phillips of California, Devin and Amber Westbrook of Missouri; cousins Emily, Charlie and Heath Holt of Idalou, Autumn Phillips of California, Brant and Carson Bolton of Lubbock, Bo and Bailey Childress of Lubbock. He also had numerous friends who will miss their playmate dearly.
In lieu of flowers, contributions may be sent to Make-A-Wish Foundation and DTRF.org.
Services will be held Saturday, November 17, 2007 at 2:00 p.m. at Melonie Park Church at 66th and Indiana.
