Justin William Hall

Justin William Hall, 50, stepped into forever on September 1, 2025, but not before filling the world with beauty, laughter, and friendship. He lived large and loved big—a life well-saturated in experiences and adventures. Justin was the first-born son of Rebecca Bane Hall and John Wesley Hall, Jr., in Little Rock, Arkansas, on June 30, 1975. His legacy continues with his two sons, Benjamin William Hall and Nicholas Jackson Hall of Little Rock living with their mother Tammye Hall of Little Rock. Carrying his memory in their hearts are his brother, Mark Daniel Hall (Megan) of North Little Rock and stepsister, Dr. Juliana S. Gebb (Lucas) of Philadelphia, and aunt, Aimé Ontario Fraser of Shelton, Connecticut. His stepfather John Michael Brians predeceased him. His stepmother is Dr. Alison S. Hall.After graduating Catholic High, Justin attended the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville where he earned a Bachelor of Engineering, then fine-tuned his knowledge with a Master’s in Aeronautical Science from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. He was drawn to aviation because his mother, her mother, and stepfather were pilots; his mom and stepdad flew for United Airlines.He began his career at Raytheon in Waco, Texas, where he added engineering expertise on a NASA 747 telescope project. He returned to Little Rock, married Tammye, and eventually joined Dassault Falcon Jet until opening his own company. Justin’s keen eye for detail and safety, combined with his creativity, allowed him to freelance as a consulting engineer on structural and construction sites. He was able to bring his entrepreneurial visions to reality by building homes that were functional and aesthetically pleasing. The term “expert” applied to Justin in many ways: He was featured on “Dateline” where he confirmed how an accident could not have happened as a suspect contended; he advised an already-famous Erin Brockovich on drilling-caused earthquakes; he testified as a trustworthy expert witness on engineering and construction in multiple legal cases; but, where Justin excelled as an “expert” always, in all ways, was through his genuineness; devotion to friends; his gift of including everyone, not only some; and, in his always-ready-to-help-others outlook. Justin had a Lake Hamilton Lake house for many years, and he moved to Hot Springs three years ago. He opened a wonderful chapter in his life that fulfilled his love of the water and boating. Lake Hamilton was his oyster, and he built deep relationships, involved himself in the community, and he soon became a beloved local. He captured photos of magnificent sunsets from his house looking over the lake, memories of themed parties with friends, Lake Hamilton Life moments, and his cherished dogs. Justin loved life, he also loved giving back to the community. Women’s Own Worth, which provides housing for survivors of domestic violence, was a project where Justin’s invested not only building labor but his heart. Never one to leave others out, he researched and designed SAVE THE PROP! map, so boaters and others who loved the lake were safe. It's tragically poetic to leave this world on the lake he loved so with the woman he was in love with, Edis Miller—may their bond continue for centuries to come. “Only the good die young.” –Billy Joel.
