Wow, this is really, really sad as everyone has pointed out. I enjoyed your different projects over the years and got so many laughs from your work with PokerRoad. RIP, my condolences to family and friends.
I remember when he first flew out here after getting an intern gig at Cardplayer and I took him to a bar by my house and he was telling me about how AWESOME it was going to be living in a house with a bunch of other dudes. Every few days or so I would hear about how awesome it was to meet so-and-so or to shoot something somewhere cool. He genuinely loved the game of poker and all of the people and personalities in it. He always had something nice to say or something he wanted to try to help you out with. He was one of the good guys and he will be sorely missed.
So sad to hear. We will dedicate tonight's 2+2 Pokercast to Justin.
You guys rule. As sad as this news (and this whole day) has been, your dedication really got me choked up. Or as the guys from The Office podcast say, "it got a little dusty in the room."
By the way, John Caldwell posted the following at PokerRoad, but I thought this thread might enjoy contributing as well (I didn't see it here):

Cross post this to anywhere you think is appropriate.
His mom just told me he really loved what he did. Let's represent for him.
For now, here are a couple videos that Shronk did for us at Pnews, that he absolutely loved. We will miss him.
