Justin Alan Whipple

Justin Alan Whipple, 47, returned home to his Heavenly Father, Savior, and many loved ones on the other side on May 22, 2026.

Justin was born on March 24, 1979, to Debbie and Kelly Whipple. He is the older brother to Kalena and Serena. He grew up with a contagious laugh and a knack for inappropriate comments at just the right time. 

Justin attended Canyon View High School, where he built many lifelong friendships and memories.

On June 3, 2009, Justin was married to the love of his life, Mindi Ray Jorgensen Whipple. Later, they were sealed for time and all Eternity. Together, they built a life centered on love, loyalty, and family. Justin and Mindi are the proud parents of two beloved sons, Syrus Alan (16) and K.C. Ray (5), who are the absolute light of his life. He was constantly striving to provide the best life he could for them. His family is his rock and foundation, and his love and commitment to them was evident in everything he did. He worked hard to ensure his family always knew they came first in his life. His love for Guns and his Country was a close second, and he could rightly be defined as a loyal Patriot to the Freedoms America offered. 

Those who knew Justin knew he was truly the life of the party. He never met a stranger and always seemed to have a never-ending supply of compliments, kindness, and conversation to share so that others never felt alone. His life could best be described by the motto: “Strangers are just friends you haven’t met yet.”

Though Justin was introduced to the Gospel and its teachings later in life, he embraced them wholeheartedly and sincerely tried to live by those principles each day. He was baptized a member of the Church of Jesus Christ shortly after meeting Mindi and was confirmed a member by his Father in-law, Clark Jorgensen. 

His greatest drive and strength in life was his eternal companion, Mindi. Their love for one another was deep, enduring, and built upon the experiences and challenges they faced side by side. Together, hand in hand, they learned to lean on one another, love more deeply, and grow through every season of life and what it offered them. Together, they were unstoppable.

Justin was preceded in death by his mother, Debbie Whipple; his grandparents, Wallace and Della Whipple, Kenneth Baker; his aunt, Karen; and his uncles, Kenny (Hopper) and Danny. His best dog, Tink.
