Justin loved hanging out with family and friends and was very proud of his sons.  He enjoyed his nieces and nephews, especially Kayla, Katilyn, Matt-Matt, Sophia and Gavin Waldrop, and was definitely the jokester in the family.

Surviving to cherish fond memories are his parents: Sarah Costner Stephens and husband, Doug Stephens of the home, and Carolyn and Bobby Atchley of Blacksburg, SC; four sons, Alan Costner, Chris Costner, Dawson Linder and Nicolas Linder; his sons’ mothers, Jennifer Costner and Tiffany Broome; his sister, Loretta Welch; two brothers, Matt Waldrop and his wife, Manda, and Robert Waldrop and his wife, Sarah; special cousins raised as siblings: Jenny Crotts, Nikki Harkey, and Barbara Crumpton; his aunt, Brenda Pettus and husband Laiton; his godparents, Bobby and Lisa Chastain; as well as a host of nieces and nephews.
