Justin Douglas Bingham

October 8, 1983 — October 5, 2024

Justin Douglas Bingham was called back to the presence of our Heavenly Father on October 5, 2024. And though his departure was abrupt and unexpected, the legendary life he lived leaves behind a legacy that can never be taken. Justin was born on October 8, 1983 to Douglas and Jolene Bingham. He married the love of his life, Lindsay Adams, and was sealed to her for time and all eternity in the Salt Lake Temple on September 10, 2005. 

His family was his whole world and he dedicated his entire life to providing everything they could ever hope for or dream of and more. He was a devoted and loyal husband who loved his wife with an insatiable passion. Their love was that of fairy tales, both sharing an unquenchable thirst for each other’s love and affection. Together they brought four wonderful children into this world, Turin, Ashton, Landon, and Ava. Justin was a fiercely loyal, involved, dedicated, and fun-loving husband and father. His family viewed him as Superman. His superpowers were most beautifully seen with his son Landon who has physical limitations including cerebral palsy and cortical vision impairment. Landon wasn’t going to let that stop him and neither was Justin. Blessed with the same determination Justin and Landon together hiked, climbed and rappelled mountains, wake-surfed, knee-boarded, body-surfed, rode bikes, skied, ran a half marathon and many 5Ks, played basketball, traveled the world and more. Justin’s eternal optimism, deep love and relentless positivity blessed his family as he pushed through the impossible to provide every joy and opportunity, no matter the circumstances, for each of his kids. He and Lindsay embraced the unexpected with unwavering faith and a determination to find beauty in life. 

Together as a family, they loved boating, canyon rides in the side-by-side, camping, playing with their dog Annabelle, fishing, skiing, playing sports, swimming in the ocean, and traveling the world. Lake Powell was their happy place as they spent many summers there cliff jumping, exploring beautiful canyons, and teaching the kids to wakesurf, waterski, slalom and more. He always was and still is so proud of his family and their accomplishments in school, sports, choir, dance and everything else they did. He loved each of his sons and boy did his little princess Ava have him wrapped around her finger.

Justin was a faithful son who loved his Mom and Dad from the moment he took his first breath. He filled their world with pride and joy. His Dad was his hero and he made every effort to follow in his footsteps. Justin was an enthusiastic brother to three brothers and one sister who loved him as much as the human heart has capacity to love. Everything they did together turned into a spirited sibling competition. One that Justin would not let end until he had won. He spent 11 years working with two of his brothers including starting and successfully selling his first two startups. 

Justin served a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in Milan, Italy, a place and a people he loved dearly. So much so he named his first son after the city of Turin (Torino) where he spent eight months of his mission and later lived for two months with his family. In true Justin fashion, he served with all his might, mind and strength often refusing to eat because it was time taken away from the Lord. We can only imagine him shouting for joy in the presence of our Savior at the announcement of the Milan Temple less than 24 hours after his passing. Justin set a righteous example for his family as a dedicated disciple of Jesus Christ who much like the Savior went about doing good unto others and serving with a pure, generous and compassionate heart. He served in various church callings and was most passionate about his time working with the youth. 

He was a graduate of Brigham Young University and received his degree in Italian with a minor in business. He was a college scholarship athlete running track for BYU with blazing speed in the 110m and 400m hurdles. Justin was a fierce competitor and all-around athlete who excelled in just about everything he did. 

He harnessed his relentless competitive spirit and put it to work in the challenging world of business. Justin was an accomplished entrepreneur, successfully starting, growing, and selling multiple businesses. He was featured in Utah Valley BusinessQ as one of Utah Valley’s 10 Coolest Entrepreneurs. A passionate entrepreneur with an eye for opportunity, Justin was a 2x exit founder and was working as co-founder and CEO on his third and largest venture. Under his leadership, his company Opiniion was recognized on the INC 5000 list of the fastest-growing companies in the U.S. for the past three consecutive years, amassing over 1.5 million units within the PropTech space. Known for his exceptional networking skills and his love of meeting new people, Justin deeply valued Opiniion’s clients. He valued personal connections and took every opportunity to travel and meet them face to face. He always prioritized people over product or business, a reminder he kept visible with a sign in his office next to his desk. With over 70 employees, Justin fostered personal connections, often with a simple daily fist bump around the office, leaving a legacy as a people-first entrepreneur, visionary leader, and caring partner. 

His personality was quite literally larger than life, filling a room with light, energy and love. Justin never met a stranger, and made life-long friends wherever he went. His ability to connect with people from all walks of life was unrivaled. He championed the underdog and inspired others to do and be more than they themselves even knew possible. There wasn’t anything Justin couldn’t do. He was a skilled and incredibly gifted outdoorsman. Whether it was summiting Mount Rainier or the Tetons (which he did recently with his son, Turin), skinning up Lone Peak and skiing down, rock climbing some of the most difficult routes in the Wasatch, canyoneering slot canyons, backflipping off pretty much everything he could, learning to fly a speed wing, or any of the many other adventures he was always organizing and attacking, Justin was at home in places most human eyes will never see. 

He is survived by his beautiful wife Lindsay and their four children Turin (his strong right-hand man), Ashton (his mini me), Landon (his superhero), and Ava (his precious little princess), and their dog Annabelle. His mother Jolene, his brothers Branden (Mindy), Sean, and Jared (Brittany) and his sister Michelle (Daniel). He joins his Dad, Douglas, in a warm eternal embrace in the presence of his Savior.
