SHERBORN – Owen Patrick Bingham, of Sherborn, Massachusetts, died after a tragic car accident in the early morning of February 12, 2022. Owen was 18 years old.
Owen was the brightest of lights. Personable and outgoing, his wide and inclusive circle of friends demonstrated his interest in people and his knack for genuine connection. Owen was a North Star to many who knew and loved him.
Owen was a force for positive change at school and in his community. He was an alumnus of Project 351, a youth service organization that mentors young people like Owen: passionate, kind, and innovative thinkers. According to Project 351, “Owen beautifully exemplified the values and commitment of a 35ONE leader…[He] provided wisdom, conviction and mentorship…building unity among diverse communities.
Owen, an all-around athlete, was also captain of the Dover-Sherborn High School golf team and was proud to have helped bring home the state championship last fall. His focus and dedication to his community, team and school culminated in his recent early acceptance of the decision to Layfayette University.
But the greatest joy in Owen’s life was his family. Owen is survived by his strong, loving and devoted mother, Jennifer A. Bingham of Sherborn; his younger brother, friend and confidant, Drew, 16, also of Sherborn; his devoted and loving nanny and grandfather, Ann Marie and Peter Fabriele; his beloved uncle Peter Fabriele and his wife Stephanie; his aunt Mary Lee and uncle Roberto Montesinos, all of New Jersey; and an extended community of friends, coaches, parents and teachers whom Owen loved deeply and admired fully.
A family of faith, Owen’s loved ones take comfort in knowing that the many generations of aunts, uncles and grandparents who came before him welcome him into their arms.
