Support for Justin

Our dear friend, brother, & colleague Justin has recently experienced unspeakable tragedy & loss. On Sunday, January 10th, we suddenly and unexpectedly lost our friend, and Justin’s partner, Ellie. Our hearts & sympathies go out to the Frazier family, as well as those in Ellie’s personal & professional orbits. Many of us were lucky enough to have felt & witnessed their love for one another over the years, and to have seen their immeasurable happiness first hand. Their bond was immediate, their romance was beautiful, and their time together was steeped in their shared passion for music, culture, friendship, and life. Ellie’s kindness & sincerity inspired all who knew her, and it was no wonder that she brought out the best in Justin each and every day. Last June, Ellie & Justin excitedly found an apartment together in Brooklyn, and ever since, had been pouring their hearts into curating a home which showcased their love for one another. In an instant, their time together came to an inexplicable end.

 

This fund has been formed with the intention to support our friend Justin as he navigates this unforeseen hardship. The emotional toll of losing a loved one should never translate to a financial burden. The apartment they loved and lived in is still home to Justin, and while none of this feels real, the reality of carrying the cost of living is inevitable. If you know Justin, you’ll agree that he is one of the kindest, selfless, and supportive people on Earth. He has always been there for his friends, and for those who need it most. I hope we can be there for him now, and to help alleviate the challenges on his road ahead.
