Justin Brian Sanders was the son of Orville Marion Sanders and Judith Kay Watkins.

Captain Sanders died when the plane he was riding in crashed into the Atlantic Ocean ninety-three miles off the coast of Jacksonville, Florida. The aircraft was piloted by Lieutenant Gregory Fulco. At the time of the crash, Lieutenant Fulco and Captain Sanders, who was on the flight as a backseat observer, were circling above the aircraft carrier USS Eisenhower, performing safety observation duties while training jets performed take-offs and landings on the carrier. Captain Sanders and Lieutenant Fulco were killed after ejecting from the jet shortly before it crashed.
