Remembering Justin

A life held close in memory

Justin Thompson was an 18‑year‑old from Milwaukee whose life touched family, classmates and friends. Public memorial pages and messages left by people who knew him describe a young man who brought energy and humor to his circles, sometimes remembered by the nickname “Jboog.” School connections mentioned on community memorials include Roosevelt Middle School and Marshall High School, reflecting the neighborhood roots that shaped his teenage years.

On June 7, 2020, Justin’s life came to a sudden end in Milwaukee. The date and location of his death are part of the public record; community memorials and national gun‑violence memorial projects record June 7, 2020 as the day he was lost. While details about his daily life, work, or broader plans are limited in reliable public notices, the comments left by relatives and friends on memorial pages consistently emphasize his role as a brother, cousin and friend — someone who could lift a room with music, laughter or a quick joke.

Because no family‑published obituary or funeral‑home notice matching his name and the June 7, 2020 date could be located in established obituary repositories, this remembrance focuses on what is verifiable: Justin was a young Milwaukee resident whose life mattered to people around him. The messages that survive in public memorial spaces underline a common wish — that he be remembered for the warmth and talent he showed among loved ones. This page honors Justin by centering those human memories: a son, a sibling, a friend whose life, however brief, left a lasting imprint on family and community.
