Austin was always amazing. He knew how to kep you smiling and laughing long after the laughter was gone from your heart. My only regret is not telling you how much you meant to me. Rest easy man, keep watching over us.

I am very sorry for your loss. Austin was a great guy. I may not have known him as well as alot of people in the school did, but I had a few nice chats with him on myspace and at school. He was always very kind to me and was always smiling. My prayers go out to Everyone who knew him. Family and friends. Here is a small Bible verse that makes me think of him.
Isaiah 40:18-31
Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.

Be strong, and let your heart take courage,
all you who wait for the Lord!
—Psalm 31:24 be strong i know how it feels to loose someone loving and really close to you but crying and sobbing would not make it better all he wants right know from us is to be strong and move on and always have him in our hearts

I never knew Austin, but heard of his passing at my sons baseball tournament yesterday in Christiansburg & my heart goes out to the family and the community that loved him. Stay strong and make his memory last forever.
