When I would stand next to Austin we were eye to eye, I could feel his Prent's pride as I would talk to him, and as he would speak back to me. Thinking back I feel Ive never had talks like that with anyone because I am three times his age. I don't have the words to explain how truly special this man is. Like so many, I will miss you Austin. Thank you for being our family's champion.

Austin impressed us as a fine young man when we first met him and we know that he will be dearly missed by family and friends.
Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. We are hopeful that that the many happy memories that you have of Austin will help you through these difficult times.
Fondly,

My heart goes out to the Bice family. Your son was just a nice person to everyone he ever met. Such a wonderful demeanor and a polite and enthusiastic man. He will always be remembered as such. Our deepest sympathy, the Oman family.

I want to extend my deepest sympathies to your family. This story hit way too close to home as we have a 21 year old son studying business in Madrid this semester also. Our son, Andrew, also was a former football player and there just seemed to be so many similarities. Please know that this season of Lent I am going to be praying each day for you, that you find the strength to deal with this devastating blow. Sincerely, Denise Bouquet

The news of Austin's disappearance gripped us as we have children in college too. We are heartbroken that such a wonderful young man has been taken from his family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

"I have known Austin since he was just a little guy, and watched him grow into such a smart handsome young man. He will definitely be missed, him and that smile. My heart and prayers go out to his family at this difficult time."

Like many that have signed in, you do not know me. But I know the pain. We lost our 28 year old son 6 months ago, and was missing as well. It was only a few hours, but it was enough. And we both have incredible sons with a smile to win the world. We are from San Diego, so wanted to let you know how sorry I am. I cried with you Pamela when I awoke to see the dreaded news that fateful morning. I wish I could say it gets easier. Only knowing who is in control (As I was sure it was me) can help one put the preverbial foot in front of the other. If you would ever like to contact me, that is fine as it helps to know of others that have gone through the worst pain as a parent possible. If you want, and only if you want, if you google Timothy Pittsford you will see his youtube vid and his obituary. A phrase that I thought I would never have to say "Tim's obit". May the God of comfort take you into His loving arms and hold you tight. With Love and care and understanding,
Emily Pittsford

Although I met Austin very briefly, I am deeply saddened by your loss.
I now have two very deep wounds in my heart: one from my daughter's passing and another from Austin, my son's best friend and your loving son.
Our love and prayers are with you now and forever.
Sincerely,
The Brault family.

Austin was everything a parent could hope their son could be. He was bright, sensitive, athletic, and full of life. His smile would light up the room, and his personality had the same glow, so you were always happy to be in his presence. Falcon Football has lost one of our special sons,but he'll always be with us. Each day, all of us who were fortunate enough to be part of his world need to share his spirit with others as a tribute to his passing. Do something nice for someone and say to yourself: "Thanks Austin for helping me to be a better person." In that way his spirit will live on in each of us. It's hard to fathom why such a young and special person has been called, but I guess God needed a left tackle to protect his blind side. Rest In Peace Austin, we'll think of you every day. I'm sad to say that I probably never told Austin face-to-face how much I admired and respected him as a player and as a person; and how much I enjoyed being his coach. I hope it's not too late.

To the Bice Family,
I have followed your son's story and please know that I have been praying for all of you since I first read of his disappearance. Although we have never met, I have cried and shared your sadness as only a mother can. I know that Austin is in God's family in heaven with our loved ones who have gone before us. I pray that our Lord will give you strength at this very difficult time. May God bless you all.

I only knew Austin from brief hello's at the gym each morning. He laughed easily, was kind and warm to others, always coming across as a gentle-man. I offer my deepest sympathy to Austin's friends and family.

Austin has the most beautiful smile that I have ever seen. I thought this the moment I first saw Austin. I want the family to know that. His handsome face brightens up & makes everything feel okay..
You're as free as a bird now
BICE family- I know it will be hard, this is so surreal and depressing that he is no longer with us, and because of how much of an amazing, spectacuar guy he was, it's even harder. You raised him to be a gentleman, with a charm of gold. Please know you will see Austin in Heaven, with that big ol' smile and his goofy self.
GOD BLESS YOU! YOU'RE ALL IN MY PRAYERS!

A journey is best measured in friends rather than miles, I have many good memories watching our boys play baseball at TP and it is very sad to know we will not see Austin play here on this earth again but God must needed him for his team in heaven…
My heart goes out to you & your family in this time of sorrow.. Austin was a beautiful human being inside and out, his gorgeous smile was contagious and we will never forget him. My son, Alex, went to school at TP & SDSU with Austin and he had lots of classes with him and was telling me how much Austin wanted to go to Madrid and they spoke on FB just ten day before :( Our hearts ache for all of your family & our prayers are with you. God Bless you all & rest in peace sweet prince.
