Austin was a wonderful student to have in welding class. His happiness and enthusiasm for living life would always bring a sense of joy to anyone who spoke with him. Austin will be sorely missed. Rest in peace.

Words cannot ease the pain I felt for you and your family in this time of tragedy. May Austin lives in all of your hearts forever, just hang on to all the fun memories.

Austin was known casually to me, he was an employee at American Fence, which was located next to my office. He was always willing to help me with any job that needed doing. He was so polite and infectiously friendly. He will be missed around our office.

We watched Austin grow from a boy into a kind, generous and joyful young man. He had a zest for life we could not ignore and such a remarkable commitment to his family. We could not have asked for better next door neighbors and Austin was an integral part of the family we enjoyed living beside for years. We wish so much that we could do something to ease your pain knowing full well that anything we do will fall very short of that objective. We miss you and we care about you. We pray your faith, family and friends will provide some comfort.

Austin used to live next to myself and my family years ago. His family was so welcoming and kind to myself, my mother, and brother. Sadly, after they moved away, him and his family kept in touch via Christmas cards. Austin was a sweet and kind person when I was young living next to him. I will miss him very much and keeping his family in my prayers and thoughts.
