Meet Justin Cain Johnston, the 23-year-old son of Rise and Rene Johnston, grandson of Mary Lou (Manning) and Bill Belcher. Justin’s Mom, Rise, gave him the middle name “Cain” which was her grandmother’s maiden name, because she thought it was so pretty. She wonders if this is the only child in the Cain descendants that carries "Cain" as a given name.

Justin has an associate degree in instrumentation that he received in November, 2000 and mainly works setting up power plants. His work has taken him to various states, South Carolina, Georgia, Ohio, even offshore, depending on where the job is. Currently, he is getting experience before he decides where his final settling down place will be and still calls Shongaloo, LA his home.

In his young years, Justin, visited his great-grandparents, Ruth and Olon Manning, many days after school as they lived right behind his grandparent’s home. His personality sort of reflects his great grandfather’s, as he likes to joke and keep everybody laughing. He got his great love of swimming from his grandmother, Mary Lou, and great-grandmother Ruth, (who was always teaching everybody to swim at Black Lake). Justin says if there was an adult swim team he would be on it. However, he loves skiing, all water sports and intends to build his home on a lake once he is settled down. The last time he went to Black Lake, he took several friends along and they enjoyed playing horseshoes, however, it was just not the same as when Ruth and Olon lived there. He is not a hunter, but enjoys riding his 4-wheeler and loves all types of sports. In high school, he was on the football team but he really enjoys being a “sideline” athlete with his favorite football team being the LSU Tigers. Justin has a steady girlfriend but apparently not ready to tie the knot yet.

Justin ‘s friend, Clint Giddens (who grew up in Springhill, LA), became his stepsister’s husband, after he met Amy Johnston, visiting in Rise and Rene’s home. Justin and Clint are in the same line of work and have worked together on the same jobs. They try to plan their jobs around the holidays so that they can be home with family.
