In Memory of MSgt Justin S. Keirn USAF
March 14, 1987 – October 16, 2024
Justin was a devoted Catholic, a loving husband, father, son, grandson, and brother. He embodied the Pararescue motto, “That Others May Live.” His distinguished career included roles as a military static-line jumpmaster, free fall jumpmaster, combat SCUBA diver, and a Nationally Registered Paramedic. Justin served with valor at the 38th Rescue Squadron, the 320th Special Tactics Squadron, the 26th Special Tactics Squadron, and Special Operations Command Central, during which he executed over 120 combat and civil rescue missions.
His commitment to service, pararescue and dedication to others will be deeply missed by all who loved and knew him. He was a poet, courageous, smart, and loved deeply. You left too soon, but your spirit is with us still — in the wind that whispers your name, in the sunlight that warms out face, in the quiet moments when we feel you near.
You are loved and missed.
Ruskin, Florida was his last PCS.
