Pfc. Christopher "Justin" Abston of (Railton) Smiths Grove Kentucky and his brother would dress in camouflage and play army so it was no surprise that they also joined the Army together, Josh in 2003 and Justin in 2004. He was an outstanding Paratrooper who was very proud of his service in the military. His awards and decorations include the Army Commendation Medal, the Global War on Terror Service Medal, the National Defense Service Medal, the Army Service Ribbon, and the Parachutist Badge.
He is survived by his parents, Danny Lee and Colleen Michelle "Shelli" Coates Abston of Railton, Lisa Hawks and Troy Lanham of Biluxo.

Paternal grandparents, William Alton and Alta Rudell Sheffield Abston of Railton. Maternal grandfather, Karleen Hawks. Preceded in death by his maternal grandmother: Betty Jean Hawks.
There is a possibility that a smallpox vaccine may have caused Justin's death at age 26.
