Book of Memories for Justin Anthony Kleinpeter

Story shared: DEVOTIONAL

Sun, 03 Feb 2013 15:09:56 EST

Justin Berg Kleinpeter (1985-2012), was the freest man I knew; he was an Anarchist of the Sun from who I learned the most difficult of lessons. My loving son, reminded me to always be “fervent with the truth” when experiencing an oppressive situation. He had moral purpose, living contrary to what is falsely preached as good; He experienced that goodness tortures itself with nonsense. Justin, like a hero of an earlier age on a pilgrimage, was a philosopher, scholar and traveler of life, sensitive to the dignity of others. He was blessed by the virtues of a cerebral and feeling nature; valiantly courageous, and ordained by a strong willed spirit to live unshackled from modern, institutionalized society into which all are disappeared. An explorer traveling the road and railways, and rejecting organized, punishing realities that haunt all, He was the accommodating camaraderie to both bad and good alike, to fugitives on the run, and the estranged living on society’s edges. Like all heroes, His early disappearance, passing from this open to question world of humankind, reminds those who knew Him, not to forget that all Life is not without godly reason.

From the kind words left in behalf of Justin, it is evident that he was loved by all who knew him. Although we did not have the pleasure of meeting Justin, we would still like to offer our condolences to the family and friends. Losing someone in death is one of the hardest trials to endure. We pray that you continue to rely on God who is the God of all comfort. (2 Corinthians 1:3, 4)

Helen, this is from when you, your Mom and Justin came to visit us. I believe it was about December, 1994. We enjoyed being together so much!

I have attempted to write this several times, yet understandably I find a loss of words to express and articulate what can only be felt. I can't say I know what Justin would think or what he would want should he be looking down on us. But without uncertainty, I think he would want this to be treated as a day where we celebrate his life and what he meant to us, and to remember and share the good memories we have of him......rather than focus on what was lost, what can no longer be, and the "what if's". We owe it to him to pick our hearts up and turn this into an opportunity to come closer together and be reminded of how important and special family and close friends are in life. No matter how far one might drift from those who love them most, there is always a way to become close again; a way to mend severed relationships and to love unconditionally. I emphasis this because I feel Justin had come to a place in his life where he had turned a new leaf, had found the important things in life, and had come to appreciate the love and family he had while gaining a greater care for the impact he had on others. I listen to my birthday voicemail from Justin and Karin not but a month ago and can hear how happy he was. I hear the voice of a matured male yet the infliction of his voice triggers a picture in my mind of a young curly haired boy with a bounce in his step. I can hear them having so much fun and can see myself in the car with them. I know that same friendship and love and how important and meaningful it is. Remembering speaking with Justin on the phone and with our Madre and Karin during his visit, reinforces a feeling of confidence that he felt a great sense of family, love, and belonging during his last months. I won't try and write what Justin meant to us or to you, only we can know individually the depth of our relationships shared with Justin, the things we will cherish and miss, and the things we regret. Each of us will hold his memory in our own ways. Justin- I think back to your visit with me at NAU and remember a fearless kid that overcame so many hurdles in life. You chose to follow your sense of adventure, break the mold society has placed on us, and live every day as it came. In hindsight, I see now how much courage you had to face the world head on, with everyday full of uncertainty. You were only 26 when you passed, but you saw a great deal and experienced much of our world many of us will never see and are sheltered from. I remember us speaking about your travels and you commenting on how unattractive the world and people can be, yet you maintained a positive demeanor and seemed to always be willing to give others the benefit of the doubt. You never let the disappointments in life break you. You were always so grateful even when you were without; we can learn a great deal from that. You were living life and loving it. My memory of you then takes me to an easier time, a time of ignorance and bliss, and we are wandering the property at Madre's and Papa's: eating Popsicles, collecting Japanese beetles together, and finding snakes and turtles with Papa. And let's not forget our tea parties with Madre, Mr. Darcy, Elizabeth, and of course the unforgettable Dr. Woo. Your young voice rings in my ears: "No sank you, but sank you for de offer." It is never right to have to say goodbye to someone so young but know you have not left this world without your own unique print on it. I will remind myself of your opportunities lost and when I encounter new opportunities, I want to attempt to have the courage and sense of adventure you had. Importantly I want to remind myself, like you, to be grateful for what I have and to not let disappointment or uncertainty consume me. You have reminded us all how fragile and special life is. You are and will always be loved so. Someday again we two will have tea, Elizabeth and Dr. Woo. I love you Justin R.I.P your cousin Edie ~xo

Story shared: A Treasure Box of Memories

Tue, 13 Mar 2012 15:53:54 EDT

Justin… Cousin, Nephew, and Grandson A Treasure Box of Memories Where do I begin……. To sum up a life we spent a part of is never easy. If I think back, my very first memory of Justin was his baptism with Father Maholam, an old family friend who presided over a series of life’s first rituals; marrying Chip and Helen, baptizing all of us, and giving them their very first communion as children in the old wooden plantation church down by the beach where we all grew up. My memories of the Bergs go so far into the past, I can’t even remember a first. Looking back, all I know is that it seemed right and natural to continue to share so many life threads through a common bond called Justin. He was a beautiful baby, and a blending of his mother and father in appearance with curly hair which would be the envy of any girl as he grew up. He had a love of knowledge, was a prolific reader, and possessed a theatrical flair and individual style……………………………………………………… As the cousins grew older, we looked forward to summer time, traveling every year across country for a long visit with Grandma and Papa. Justin was always there and part of the memory……………………………………………………. He had his very first birthday party at the age of one at Grandma Madres along with his cousin Forrest, surrounded by four generations of family and friends. That was soon followed by his first pair of leather baby shoes purchased on an outing with his mother and grandma to the big town of Franklin that same summer. I remember those first hesitant baby steps that would someday lead to a bigger world far beyond us. Justin was always such an endearing funny child in a very sweet sense. I remember him at the age of four walking around the beach house with his arm in his great grandmother’s brassiere which served as a sling, all the while complaining about his high blood pressure, which came out high bwood puesho. We could only assume he had heard that from the Berg grandmothers and we had a very good laugh…………………………………………………… Summers at Grandma Madre, meant he took tea every afternoon with his cousins, a tradition that dated back to summers when we were children visiting our own grandma and cousins. Justin played the part of Dr. Whoo opposite Little Edie and Forrest as Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth Bennett from Jane Austin’s Pride and Prejudice; a summer movie favorite. I don’t think Dr. Whoo existed in Jane Austin’s world, but being the individual, he was, Justin was always the famous Dr. Whoo. “No sank cuu, but sank cuu for the offer “ became an inside family expression for years afterwards following the tea parties. Justin was always polite. He was also inquisitive, funny and distinctively different! He was really just too good for this world; an odd little bird with exquisite feathers and voice………………………………………………………….. He passed his days playing with snakes and turtles with his cousins, caught butterflies with a birthday net, and learned all about the many bugs and creatures living in our very own woods. It was a private world, and with Papa as their teacher, days filled up with endless discoveries. Our freezer became a resting place for snakes, curious relics we still have and can’t bear to part with. I occasionally mull over the thorny problem of what to do in the future with Papa’s “collection”. Papa also made Justin giant water shoes cut from boards to navigate the “quick sandy swamp with his cousin Forrest at the edge of the pond where snapping turtles lived; a funny sight to think back on, as the boards were somehow attached with plastic zip ties. He talked endlessly about aliens and other diabolical horrors from the sci-fi films he watched with his dad, later adopting Doctor Whoo as his persona. Trips up to Papa’s garage on the hill meant fast race cars, the smell of oil, exhaust and big noise………………………………………………………………….. Summers at the gulf were eagerly awaited with a grand yearly 4th of July firework beach display with Uncle Kenny and all of the family, plenty of sand, sunny days and sticky popsicles. Late afternoons on the flats exploring for couch shells, a light breeze with the sun low in the sky, the water sparkling with so many lights and the sound of surf and the smell of salt ended each of our days. Justin’s yearly birthday parties to mark another summer passing, trips to the local aquarium, and endless games of Old Maid where everyone cheated, every child that is, make me wish I could somehow go back. Justin’s hand was always an open book with everyone else looking over each other’s shoulder. These became our days. He was Kenny’s helper, grandma’s treasure and his cousin’s best friend…………………………………………………………………….. Visiting Madre and Papa in the mountains, brought an endless round of picnics, lawn croquet, bad mitten, playing in the sprinkler, swimming at the lake, camping in Highlands, river rafting on the Ocoee, Grandma and Karin’s Peacock Pride Theatre Camp, creative theatre writing classes where he excelled, and Middle School Folk Arts Camp; the highlight being a set of fireplace tools he created in a blacksmith class in junior high. All activities that grandma orchestrated. The kids were always putting on home plays in the back yard with Justin commanding the very important role of Director and Stage Manager. He paraded across the yard with flair, holding up his applause signs and act scene numbers and in case we missed our cue, managing us as the audience as well……………………………………………………………………………As time passed, we took him to the Oglethorpe Shakespearean Festival , The Jimmy Carter Center, the Martin Luther National Historic Site, Fernbank Museum, the Biltmore House and the Atlanta Puppetry Center to name just a few. Cultural and educational experiences were very important to Papa and Grandma . Papa introduced Justin and his cousins to the civil war and all the local battlefields and museums bringing home as souvenirs small rocks to paint dates and battle names on. We still have those on a shelf; each rock now an individual memory. As I pass by them, thoughts of Papa and those summers come to mind; now with Justin gone -made all the more poignant…………………………………………………………… We had many wonderful summers together, a happy escape from the year’s trials and disappointments. Each year followed the next, all the while we watched Justin grow from infancy to a teenager; a handsome boy and a beautiful soul. We will always remember him with love and fond memories; bittersweet but with gratitude that we shared that time together. We imagine what turn your uniqueness and talent would ultimately have led you, and we are saddened by knowing it will never flower. Our hearts ache terribly as we realize our present can now only be a past memory…………………………………………………………… I will miss following your adventures after you left us , and reading your daily posts and blogs as you traveled around the country entertaining me with your clever turn of phrases, your humor, your escapades, and your insight into many subjects affirming your intelligence and depth of knowledge. We hoped you’d always come back. We missed you then and we miss you still…………………………………………………………….. The line is now strangely silent, no one is present, the adventures are now forever over, and we are left with only our own stories to tell. A first we never wanted, but will struggle to find a place for. I will remember your love of hats, your quirky nature, your gappy grin, the cock of your head and your happy walk. Justin …… we will miss you so. So long and farewell cousin, nephew and grandson. It truly was a grand ride!............................................................................................... In tribute, with great sadness, much love, and knowing you will always be first with us, your Kleinpeter Aunts, Uncle, Grandparents and Cousins Aunt Gretchen, Karin, Denise, Kenny, Madre, Forrest, Edie, Brittany and Rachel and Papa in absencia

I received a message from a "Linus Anthony" requesting to sleep on my sofa when I lived in Baton Rouge, LA. Late one night a week or so later, this kid shows up, bedraggled and dirty, but with the most absurd smile on his face. Immediately, my southern-instinct kicked in and I threw him in the shower and started cooking. We ate together at 1AM, talking about travelling and where he had been before that, the details of which are pretty hazy. He passed out mid-sentence, I can remember that much. He was only there for the night and the rest of the next day, so I had planned a full itinerary. I woke him up with eggs topped with shrimp etoufee, then we met up with a friend of mine and went down to the Baton Rouge museums, state monument, and park where I taught him how to peel and eat boiled crawfish properly over a six pack of Abita Amber. He was a delight, so full of life and beauty, a strange bird. I dropped him off at the greyhound station. He had left his towel -- this goofy towel with smiley faces, peace signs, and flowers on it, which I passed on to another traveler at some point during my hosting career. Having burned so brightly and touched so many, it is incredibly sad to hear of his passing. He was a true man of the world. My sincere condolences.

There are moments in life where there just simply are no right words to say... I remember the day we met Justin at Country Walk in Miami, 1993, a little blond haired wonder! He spent the afternoon with us and enlightened us all with his curiosity and wisdom! And, came in and out of our life throughout the years. The last time when we lived in North Charleston, SC and he came to visit Uncle Donny and worked with Ralph. Justin gave us many memories to reminisce and bring a smile to our faces!! One thing we will always remember about Justin, was that big smile on his face!! Justin was always in our prayers throughout his travels and will remain there along with all of his family. May God bless you thru this difficult time and give you the courage and strength to continue on with the memories that you have cherished with Justin. With our deepest and sincerest sympathy~ Ralph & Lorie Giacinti & family

It is hard to belive that you have passed on , my little friend the crabman who ran the beaches every summer collecting hermit crabs and flinging mud in the surf of the gulf.I will always remember that hop in your step that smile on your face that whipping of your head that was always happy to be among us. We as your faimly always enjoyed your laugh and your great sense of humor. I Know you enjoyed the fireworks we did every 4th of july, as I recalled the bottle rock wars and the roman candles we fired over the gulf and you would visulize the enemy on the horizon.The trips to highlands N. C. to the goldmine only you would enter the dark mine -shaft with me flashlight in hand knowing that there was gold in these mountains and we would find it, The adventure of the king -kong pig and the naming of the waterfall that being hong- kong falls that you gave it. Your weekends you spent at our home and the gathering of firewood to build the big fires that you so enjoyed.I recalled that the bigger the fire the beter as we dragged the beaches for wood that was usually twice as big as you. Well my little fireman I will miss you and think about you evertime I build a fire at the farm at the beach or in Highlands. Keep the fires burning for my heart aches for you.I Know you have joined God and are tending the fires in heaven keep them burning for one day I hope to seat by them with you and feel there warmth and the warmth of your personality. May god bless you always, and remember grabman your were loved greatly by faimly and all. I will think about you when we go to all these special places we enjoyed. I LOVE YOU AND FIND A DEEP REGRET THAT YOU ARE GONE. LOVE YOUR UNCLE KENNY

To my dearest Nephew, Words can not begin to express my great sence of loss and deep bone felt sadness by your sudden leave taking from this world and your family much, much too soon. Thank you for being part of my life and my children's life and all the happy memories we were able to share together each summer at madre's and papa. I know you have finally found peace at the end of your journey and many travels and I hope that another life or plane exists where we can all meet again in a happier place. The world can be so ugly but you provided a small light by your inner good that no street or experience could errase. You lived your life the way you knew how; we all muddle through this lifetime somehow.. life is not easy. You were true to your self and lived on your own terms. You were a unique individual, so full of talent and different from the rest in a very special way who left a deep impression on so many. Justin I love you and I will never forget you. Watch over us. All my Love, Aunt Gretchen xxxooo
