In 1994 he left to pursue his dream, going to Alaska to join his Uncle Alan, eventually going to work for Custom Landscapes in Alaska. That fall he returned to North Dakota and for a time worked for A-1 Tree Service in Bismarck. The spring of 1995 found Justin and a friend returning to Alaska, once again, working for Custom Landscaping. He returned to North Dakota that fall, saying there was too much crime in Anchorage for him. He then worked for several different construction companies in the Bismarck and Tuttle areas. After the death of his older brother, Ryan, in August of 1999, Justin decided to go back to Alaska, where he transported and worked with heavy equipment on "the slope" near the North Pole. He returned to Tuttle in June of 2001. He was currently working for his uncle, Tim Johnson, for New Horizons Construction out of Tuttle. He was one of those young people struggling to find his place in life. He always had a story, a way with words, and a smile and a hug for Mom. He was friendly to everyone and would stop to talk with anyone. Justin was always able to cheer you up if you were down. He loved to hunt and fish, and he and his dog, "Yeller" were inseparable. Yeller was with him at the time of the accident. Justin is survived by his mother, Barbara King, Bismarck; his father, James King, Tuttle; his sister, Nicole King, Bismarck; his grandfather, Vernon L. Johnson, Tuttle; his grandmother, Ruby Driscoll, Tuttle; and numerous aunts, uncles and cousins.
