RIP JUSTIN BOKMA
Today we lost a great man, son, skater, and friend.
For me Justin was my best friend for 31 years.
He was charming, witty, and the kind of person that made everything better and more fun.
He was amazing at everything he did and I always looked up to him.
He pushed skateboarding to new levels with his own amazing technique on all terrains, and more often than not left you with tears in your eyes and a sore belly from laughing at his incredible sense of humor.
I will not let this tragedy take away from all the love and laughs he has filled my heart with.
My heart and prayers go out to his family and friends from all around the world.
I love you Justin forever and always.
Today is Canada Day but for me will always be Justin Bokma Day!
RIP JUSTIN BOKMA –Bill Weiss
