The Time Bandit, one of the fishing ships featured on "The Deadliest Catch" lost one of its members this week.

The Time Bandit's official website announced the death of crew member Justin Tennison. 

The website states that "Justin died peacefully in his sleep the night of February 21, 2011". The Associated Press meanwhile reports that Tennison was found dead in an Alaska motel room after a night of partying.

Tennison lived in Alaska for 28 years and fished commercially for many years. He worked on the Time Bandit first as an Engineer and joined the Time Bandit crew as a deckhand in 2010.
 
"Justin was tough as a bull and was an all-around good hand.  The Captains and Crew appreciated his hard work and many contributions this past year.  We will miss him terribly and wish his family all the best during this most difficult time," the crew states on their website.

Justin is survived by a son, daughter, sister, father and grandparents.  He was 34 years old.
