Tribute Paid To Cherry Hill Man Via Mural

CHERRY HILL, NJ — The Cherry Hill community recently spent part of a recent Saturday working on a mural in honor of one of its longtime residents, U.S. Marine Corps Corporal Justin Major.

Major passed away in September 2021 at the age of 25 while serving active duty in the U.S. Marine
Corps in Hawaii, according to his family.

The members of the community, along with muralist Cesar Viveros worked on the mural for about 5 hours. The finished project appears to depict an athlete, and playing soccer was one of Major's favorite pastimes, Major's family told Patch.

The mural will become part of the Cherry Hill FC Building and represent "community, sportsmanship and diversity," Cherry Hill Township officials said.
