Obituary for Justin Scott Hinds
Justin Scott Hinds, beloved Son, Grandson, Great Grandson, Nephew, Cousin and Friend, passed away in Bakersfield California at the age of 27 on June 6, 2020 after an unexpected pulmonary embolism. Justin is preceded in death by his Grandmother, Carol Jewett, his Great Grandparents, Kathleen Daisy Dritt, Robert Joseph Dritt and Robert Root Heath, his Great Uncle, Joseph Robert Dritt, Jr. and his second cousin, Stephanie Lynn Bales Balasia.
Justin was born on April 16, 1993 in Bakersfield, California. He was the only child to Bob Hinds and Leslie Hinds. Justin was a funny, happy, creative and loving man. He made everyone in his life feel special and loved. Justin touched everyone’s heart that knew him. Justin loved Starbucks, The Nightmare Before Christmas and Maleficent Movies, and Rajiv Dahl was his favorite singer.
Justin graduated from High School at Bakersfield High School in 2011. His favorite class was Drama and he loved his Drama Family, including his favorite Drama Teacher, Jacquie Thompson-Mercer. In 2008 Justin was inducted into the International Thespian Society. He was awarded Honor Thespian status in 2010 and was so proud.
After High School, Justin attended Beauty School where he obtained his Cosmetology license. His love was for the make-up aspect of it. Justin loved providing people with make-up tips and skin care tips, which eventually led him to his dream job as Brand Ambassador at Sephora in February of 2020. While he was working at Lane Bryant as a Part Time Manager, the opportunity given to him by Sephora was offered. Justin very much loved his jobs and his Lane Bryant and Sephora Families and still kept in contact with his Lane Bryant Family as well.
The only thing Justin loved more than his jobs and STARBUCKS, were his family, precious dogs Salem and Parker and his friends. Justin would have given the shirt off his back or driven anywhere (after getting lost first) to meet up with a family member or friend to make them feel loved and special. Justin will be missed beyond words but forever in our hearts.
Justin is survived by his Father, Bob Hinds, Mother, Leslie M. Hinds, Friend, Mike Larson, Grandmother, Ginger Heath (Grandma Ginger), Grandfather, Chuck Heath (Papa), Step-Grandmother, Ronda Heath (Noni), Grandfather, Burton Chelf, Aunts: Laurie (LoLo) Heath, Judy Armendariz, Kinsey Heath, Rita Heath, Uncles: Scott Chelf, Mike Hinds, Nicholas Heath and Benjamin Neumann. Cousins: Courtney Ringleman, Casey Ringleman, Sara Valle, Kevin Valle, Ryan Nolan, Colton Chelf, Riot Weaver, Riley Weaver and Great Grandmother, Norma Lou Heath. Justin had many second cousins and Great Aunts and Great Uncles, including new arrived second cousins, Emily Renay Ringleman and Mercedes Kathleen Valle.
We love you Justin Forever!
