Statement On The Passing Of Justin Coleman

Justin Coleman was one of the finest young people I've ever known. He was kind and generous, with a great sense of humor. His devotion to public service was heartfelt, and I will always be grateful for the time he spent with me at the White House. He continued to assist us in the work of my Foundation, and I know he was excited about the future, which makes his passing all the more difficult to bear. For Justin, in all ways, the sky was the limit, so perhaps it's no surprise that he loved mountain climbing so much. Justin was a joy to be around and he made a larger-than-life impact on all he touched. Hillary and I will miss him very much, and our condolences to his family and his many, many friends.

President William Jefferson Clinton.
