“Justin Tubyeej Vue has left us with his passion and love for community building,” a statement from his family says. “This scholarship will help further this unfinished work. We sincerely trust that this scholarship opportunity is a way for us and others to amplify Justin’s love, care and adventure lifestyle as he crossed paths with people around him. We know that his spirit will stay alive among us, especially those lives that Justin has touched.”
