Tearful farewell to Queens boy’s ‘light, joy & love’

The 10-year-old boy fatally gunned down in a dispute over a shared driveway in Queens was laid to rest on Monday in an emotional ceremony — with his father saying his senseless death “hits you everyday.”

Nearly 300 mourners gathered at Full Gospel Tabernacle Church in Far Rockaway to bid Justin Wallace a final farewell.

“Justin should have been here today,” the Rev. Dr. Les Mullings said.

“Not here, but here . . . to celebrate his birthday, to have a party, to have fun, to do what he wants to do with his father . . . to be a boy and just hug his mom and dad. He was taken from us by gun violence.”

“This must end. This must end,” Mullings added, decrying the surging gun violence in the city. “We have to say enough.”

Justin (inset) was fatally shot on June 5 — three days before his 11th birthday — outside his aunt’s home in Far Rockaway. Cops say Jovan Young, 29, opened fire over a longrunning dispute over the shared driveway at the home.

Justin’s cousin Kyle Forrester, 29, was shot in the neck in the attack.

Many mourners at the church wore T-shirts that read “Love You” above a picture of Justin flanked by angel wings.

Justin’s parents cried as they touched his face before closing the gray casket adorned with red roses, carnations and yellow tulips. “It was hard. I’m trying to hold up the best I can,” his father, Walter Wallace Sr., said after the ceremony. “Putting my son into a hearse and taking him to put him down isn’t easy.

“It’s not easy. It hits you everyday. You can’t eat.”

The dad added: “I didn’t know that my son touched [so many people]. When I heard some things, I said, ‘Oh, my God. My son was like that.’ ” Forrester, Justin’s injured cousin, told reporters in a hoarse voice: “I’m feeling horrified about what happened. Having to tell my 6-year-old girls about them losing Justin is the hardest thing I’ve had to do.”

Justin’s older sister, Takeshi Lilly-Pinnock, told the packed church that her brother “meant light, he meant joy, and he meant love, because that’s who he was.” She said he knew just how to persuade their parents into buying him video games and clothes. “If he had a few more months, I would have gifted him all the equipment he needed to jump-start his YouTube gaming career,” she said, choking up.

Justin was buried at Trinity St. John’s Episcopal Church in Hewlett, LI.

Young, allegedly caught on video firing multiple times at the home, is being held without bail on murder charges.
