Justin Bynum, age 8, passed away on Monday, June 12, 2023, at Willis-Knighton Medical Center in Shreveport, LA surrounded by his loving family and special friends. Justin was born on June 27, 2014, to his parents, William Bynum and Lisa Badeaux Bynum in Magee, MS.
Justin was a sweet and kind hearted child that had many friends. You would never hear anyone say anything negative about him. He had just completed the 3rd grade at Magee Elementary and would be celebrating his 9th birthday in a few days.
He loved spending time with his family. He would write in his journal about going to shop at Dirt Cheap with his grandmother every weekend. He always liked playing video games and board games, especially Connect Four. He loved green salads and would get upset when the cafeteria ran out of them. He loved to draw. When he had free time in class, he would draw pictures for his classmates, teachers and family. Justin was a very special friend to many and he will forever be missed by his family, friends, classmates, teachers and everyone that he has touched during his short life.
Justin is survived by his parents, William and Lisa Bynum; paternal grandfather, Buell Wallace; his maternal grandmother, Debbie Badeaux; brothers, Matthew Bynum (Eryca); sisters, Graycee Bynum, Kristie Bynum; nieces, Lyla, Layken, Bayleigh, Addison Bynum and nephew, Lawson Bynum; uncle, Wendell Bynum (Nancy); aunt, Jamie Badeaux; along with great-aunts, great-uncles and many cousins.
He was preceded in death by his paternal grandparents, Henry Fordie Bynum and Doris Wallace Bynum and his maternal grandfather, Mac McLain Badeaux.
