Justin also had a family blog called Our Life in Holland, despite the family living in Utah, with his wife Lindsay and would often show content about their lives and traveling with their four children.
The Instagram account for the blog addressed Justin’s death in a post on Friday (October 11) and revealed the family is mourning but determined to be optimistic about the future.
The post read: “Posting on behalf of Lindsay, it is with broken hearts we share the untimely passing of our hero, Justin Bingham. The world lost a legend. His family lost their rock. Lindsay lost the love of her life. Their children have lost their best friend. But we have not lost hope. Justin loved life more than anything. His passion for living was rivalled only by his devotion to his family. His wife and his four precious kids were his reason for living, the reason he got out of bed every morning and his sole purpose on earth."

“He never would have wanted to leave them this way but we pray that he can see the armies of earthly angels surrounding his family at this most desolate time. There are no words to describe the pain or confusion we are all feeling right now, but if you knew Justin you know he would infuse this moment with optimism and positivity.
“He’d grab this agony by the horns and ride it through the impending storm with his family on his back. So we pick up the pieces. We remember him. We honor him. We lean on his strength. And we find a way. We move forward with faith, however impossible it may seem, and look forward to the day we are together again."
“We are eternally grateful for the outpouring of love and support the family has already received. For those who wish to pay their respects and anyone looking to be inspired by his exemplary life you can find more information on his obituary page. Link in bio. Thank you. We love you.”
