The world mourns the loss of Justin Bingham, a 40-year-old entrepreneur and the founder of tech company Opiniion. Tragically, Justin passed away following an accident while pursuing his passion for outdoor adventures. Known not only as a successful businessman but also as a devoted family man, Justin leaves behind a legacy of love, resilience, and inspiration.
A Life Cut Short: Remembering Justin Bingham
Justin Douglas Bingham was born on October 8, 1983, and transitioned to the presence of his Heavenly Father on October 5, 2024. His untimely death has left a void in the lives of those who knew him best—his wife Lindsay, their four children (Turin, Ashton, Landon, and Ava), and countless friends and colleagues. A memorial service was held on October 14, 2024, where loved ones gathered to celebrate his life and achievements.
In a heartfelt tribute shared by his brother Sean Bingham on Instagram, Sean reflected on their lifelong bond: My brother @justindbingham tragically passed away in a canyoneering accident on Oct 5, 2024. His 41st birthday was just three days later. It’s been the most difficult thing I’ve ever experienced, truly unbearable at times. Sean went on to describe how Justin inspired him throughout their lives, pushing him toward greater heights without fostering rivalry. Instead, they celebrated each other's successes wholeheartedly.
An Exemplary Family Man
Justin and Lindsay Bingham were no strangers to challenges. Their family motto, Our Life in Holland, symbolizes embracing life's unexpected turns with grace and positivity. This phrase stems from a poignant analogy about preparing for one destination but finding beauty in another—a reference to raising their son Landon, who has cerebral palsy. Through joyous moments and hardships alike, the Binghams exemplified strength, adaptability, and unwavering love.
We strive to find joy in the little things, Justin once wrote. The unexpected beauties in a place we like to call Holland remind us what truly matters. Together, they adventured outdoors, cherished family traditions, and documented their journey through social media platforms such as Instagram (@ourlifeinholland) and YouTube.
A Stellar Athlete and Business Leader
Beyond his role as a father and husband, Justin was a remarkable athlete and entrepreneur. As a former BYU track and field star, he excelled in sports before transitioning into the tech industry. At Opiniion, Justin spearheaded innovations that transformed data center optimization and networking solutions. Under his leadership, the company thrived, earning recognition within its field.
Colleagues remember him as both visionary and compassionate. In a statement released by Opiniion, the company expressed deep sorrow over losing its CEO: It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Justin Bingham. His passion for innovation and dedication to excellence will forever inspire everyone fortunate enough to have worked alongside him.
Legacy Beyond Measure
Though Justin's life was cut short, his impact endures. Friends and family recall his infectious laughter, relentless drive, and commitment to faith and community. He wasn't merely a successful CEO or gifted athlete; above all, he was an exemplary family man, disciple of Christ, and loyal friend.
As Sean poignantly stated during his eulogy, While I’m devastated he’s gone, I’m so proud of everything he accomplished. More importantly, though, he was an extraordinary example of kindness, integrity, and devotion. These qualities define Justin's enduring legacy—one that continues to resonate deeply among those whose lives he touched.
