Justin Lee Wilbanks, affectionately known as "Rebel," passed away on June 20, 2026, at the age of 33. Born on June 4, 1993, Justin’s journey in life wasn’t easy, but he possessed a fun, free spirit and a fierce determination to overcome every hardship, strive for greatness, and make everyone proud. He was the ultimate provider, a remarkably hard worker, and deeply devoted to his boss and dear friend, G, and his family.

Family was Justin’s cornerstone. He absolutely cherished his dad, who hung the moon in his eyes and always strived to make him proud. Justin held a deep, enduring love for his mother, stepmother, sisters and brothers. His boundless affection extended to all his cousins, nieces, nephews, friends, chosen family, his girlfriend and her children, all of whom he loved fiercely.

This past year was truly the happiest of Justin's life. He went on many grand adventures, filling his days with fun, joy, freedom, and endless laughter shared with his friends, his family, and the woman he loved so deeply.

A man of adventure and a lover of the open outdoors, he took time to find beauty in the simplest of things. He never took a single person or gift for granted. Justin cherished every gift ever given to him, from the grandest gestures to the smallest leaf or rock to the unforgettable memories we've all shared together. He worked in the construction field as a concrete finisher. He took pride in his work and enjoyed fixing things in his past time. Justin dreamed of someday working on small engines and building a successful business. Rebel’s strength, loyalty, adventurous spirit, fun personality and limitless heart will be deeply missed and forever cherished.

The family will hold a celebration of life at a later time.
