Justin Gray Albright died peacefully in his sleep on November 1, 2015 in his home in Little Rock, Ark. at the age of 39. He was born December 3, 1975. A native of North Little Rock, Ark., he attended North Little Rock High School where he participated in football, cheerleading, drama and attended Arkansas Governor's School at Hendrix College. Following high school he attended the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville where he furthered his love of creative writing and also spent two years as a Razorback Cheerleader. The last 10 years of his life he pursued his passion for words by creating a writing composition tool that he entitled, Encompass. For this project he categorized the entire English language into a system that he aspired to one day be written into a computer software program. While Justin pursued his creative endeavors, he, like most artists, worked various jobs, including countless hours at U.S. Pizza Company and E.J's. Eats and Drinks. At these establishments he formed many lifelong friendships and met his loving wife, Alicia.

Justin was best known for his intellectual prowess, outrageous sense of humor, rosy cheeks, larger than life smile and contagious laugh. He will be forever missed.
