The Late Justice Gua sadly passed away on 29 April, 2021.

Justice was born on Siassi island in Morobe Province, and was a proud son of the island - even after moving away he maintained strong links with his community and his extended family, providing support wherever he could. He grew up in Goroka and attended the University of Papua New Guinea. 

Justice was a father to four wonderful children and a husband to Monica Kassman. His children were his pride and joy and he dedicated himself to providing them with opportunities, especially to their education at which they have excelled. His eldest daughter is currently studying at university in Australia. 

Justice was a development professional with a long and rich career. He held a number of strategic leadership roles and worked for several agencies including the United Nations, AUSAID, the private sector and over two decades, for a number of Australian government funded projects that provided aid assistance to Papua New Guinea. He used his skills and expertise to develop communities, districts, and provinces across the country working in numerous sectors including health, education, infrastructure, and governance. Through his work he improved the lives of countless people, communities and sectors - in doing so he made a rich contribution to the development of his country. He was passionate about change and dedicated his life and career to the development of his country. 

Justice was known and respected for the values that he upheld, for his professionalism and his integrity which came to define his career. He was a jovial and kind person who would go out of his way to help others and served as a mentor for numerous young professionals. 

He was a great friend, colleague, leader and mentor and will be missed by many.

Justice - I still can't believe that you're gone. You were a glue that held us all together. You were the person to turn to for the most complicated questions and could always find a solution to any problem. You always brought joy to every interaction. You never complained. Nothing was ever too much for you. You were remarkable in every way. I'm so grateful to have known you and am so, so sorry that you're gone. My sincere condolences to the Gua family. I hope these tributes give you some insight into how much Justice meant to all of us.

Rest In Eternal Peace Justice...My sincere condolences to the family during this time. He was a wise leader - in his own humble and friendly way. When we were together in meetings, you would advise and steer discussions towards a PNG solution. We will miss your jokes, words of advice, and your smiles our brother :'( Until that golden morning brata

Justice was a wonderful man who gave far more then he took. Whenever we met he expressed his love and pride in his family. His development knowledge and political antenna always kept Esther and I out of trouble. He was a great co-worker and friend and I count myself lucky for having known him.

Justice you were a joy to know. You were always so generous with your time and wisdom, and I learnt so much about PNG from you. I'll always remember our time working together very fondly - things won't be the same without you. Good luck up there buddy.

Dear Justice,
You left our sister and children and the Kassman clan too soon tambu. Your legacy at Toutu is the best house in our village that your proud mother in law resides in when she is not living at yours. Such is the love that you fostered for your dear wife and indeed your mother in law - aunty Shiela. Such a loving and caring nakimi... we mourn your departure with terrible sadness for your kids and our sister. May your beautiful soul rest in eternal peace. Love Jonathan Kassman and family.

Gone too soon bro.
I met Justice at UPNG in the 90's, he grew up at Yonki and regarded himself a Kainantu boy. All the EHP boys played rugby for the Nokondi club and he was our fullback.
Never a harsh word did I hear from him. Always kind, thoughtful and generous to others. These qualities never left him as I met him at different occasions and meetings as our paths crossed in our careers.
We called each other "Member" (of parliament) as a running joke.... it was a job we both never wanted. Ironically, we both ended up doing development and having to deal with MPs in our line of work.
I will miss the jokes and your infectious humour. Rest well my brother, my member.....God bless,
H.

PNG has lost an incredible life. On behalf of the Enga Provincial Government and the team that he worked with through his various capacities with development partners, it is with much sadness that I wish to convey our sympathies to the children and their mother on the loss of your father and husband. Let it be known that he was a good man to all who knew him. May his soul rest in peace.

"Bro", as I always would call you when you come to check me on the Incentivefund project - Sideia Catholic Health Centre rehabilitation project - on Sideia Island Milne Bay Province.    It was truly a great honour to know you. You were truly  a humble person who had the passion to put PNG people first.  Getting myself involved with a Development Agency and implementing a such a large grant, Justice on his visit would find me timid and would quickly give me his smile and says "You not along, we are together, together we will successfully complete your project"    You left too soon when the country still needs you.  You were a born-leader with dynamic personality, a mentor, a friend and a brother.
I can recall inviting you for a dinner with my family during one of your project visits, after dinner we had all the laughter and off course enjoyed the "buai". Bro, thank you so much and my your soul rest in eternal peace.

J or 'fatman' as you were affectionately known for many years. You will always be remembered for your sincerity, humour and professionalism.  You were a pleasure to work with and to be friends with you was a honour. I believe over the many years we knew each other and worked together we had a special bond; you were not just a professional colleague, but I regarded you a great friend, a brother and sometimes my son. We traveled the country together, we achieved many things, shared plenty of jokes and we both created many wonderful memories, which I will always treasure.
You were a natural leader and a true family man who will be greatly missed by many. My thought are with Monica and the family.
