Ayden Thomas Bingham, born April 28, 2004, in Mesa, Arizona, was a vibrant soul whose untimely passing on June 8, 2025, leaves a profound void in the hearts of all who knew him. A proud graduate of Thatcher High School’s class of 2023, and as a graduate from Mesa Community College last May with his associate’s degree in Applied Science.
Ayden’s life was characterized by loyalty, protectiveness, and a spirited enthusiasm that radiated from him. Those fortunate enough to witness his lively disposition will remember him as confident and loving, as he lived with an energy that was both infectious and uplifting. His unusual, spunky personality made him stand out; he was very organized and able to anticipate the needs of others, demonstrating a maturity beyond his years.
As a devoted diesel mechanic for Empire, Ayden took pride in his work, channeling his love for trucks and cars into his professional life. He had an undeniable passion for football, his love for Legos, and a deep appreciation for the time spent with friends and family. Ayden was engaged to be married to Camille Bryce in March of 2026, an exciting milestone that he particularly cherished.
His memory will forever be carried by his loving family: his mother, Stephanie Bingham; sister, Kadie Bingham; fiancé, Camille Bryce; grandparents, Mary and Steve Bingham; and nephew, Carter Bingham. Ayden is preceded in death by his father, George “Jeremy” Bingham, and his brothers, George “Bailey” Bingham and Gavin Michael Bingham, who will forever be missed.
In the wake of his tragic accident, his family gathers to honor his life and reflect on the light he brought into their lives. A memorial service will be held on June 14, 2025, at the Eastern Arizona College Football Field in Thatcher, Arizona, beginning at 8 p.m., where friends and family will come together to celebrate his vibrant spirit and the love he shared so generously. If you have a cool, restored vehicle that you’d like to drive in the procession from the Thatcher Stake Center to the football field, please feel free to gather at 7 p.m.
Ayden Thomas Bingham may have departed this world too soon, but his legacy of love, loyalty, and exuberance will endure in the hearts and memories of those who were privileged to know him.
