Less than two days after a 16-hour surgery, Officer Justin Beal — a University of Alabama police officer, husband, and father — did the unthinkable: he stood. Weak and stitched, surrounded by machines, he pulled himself upright to prove he still could.
On September 11, Justin learned his cancer had returned — this time deep in his sinus cavity. The surgery that followed rebuilt his jaw, orbital socket, and sinus. It was grueling. But 48 hours later, he was walking and talking again.
His wife, Christina, shared that his progress has been “remarkable,” his speech improving, his spirit unbroken. Those who know him say they’re not surprised. “When Justin says he’s coming back, you better believe him,” a fellow officer said.
He dreams of returning to Alabama football games, serving the fans and community he loves. For now, every breath, every step, every word is a victory — a reminder that real courage isn’t found in comfort, but in the fight to keep going.
That’s Officer Justin Beal — strength in motion, faith in flesh, and proof that heroes never quit.
