Austin was always kind, generous and helpful to me when Mark was at work on a rig. He was the best friend that my son, Mark Brotherton could ever ask for. They both enjoyed hunting, fishing and taking their boy´s on different activities. He was an amazing father to Koen and a best friend to Mark and a great friend to our entire family. He will be missed very much by our family. May you Rest In Peace my friend and I know that one of these days, I will see you again. Love, Belinda

I can´t remember a hunting memory of the last 3 yrs that Austin wasn´t apart of. Even when we was at work on the rig all we talked about was days off and going back hunting. As I sit here writing this my eyes are starting to tear up. Fly high my friend see you soon brother
