My name is Ivan Ledesma, and I have the honor of being Justin’s lifelong best friend and brother. I am organizing this fundraiser to help give Justin, known to so many as Chamo, the funeral and memorial he deserves.

He was one of the most kindhearted and genuine people I have ever had in my life, and his loss is deeply felt by all who knew him. Justin is survived by his two younger brothers, Nick and Guillermo Contreras, as he is now met with his mom and dad on the other side. We are coming together in this time of need to help support his brothers lay their eldest brother to rest and honor his memory.

Justin was truly loved by everyone who had the blessing of knowing him. He had a way of making people feel like family, and he loved those closest to him with all his heart. His spirit, kindness, and laughter touched countless lives, and we want to make sure he is remembered in the same love that he always gave to others.
