William Austin Burnett

Our hearts are broken. Austin will live in our hearts and minds as the laughing, fun, smiling boyhood friend we remember him as. Our sincerest condolences and love to family and friends.

We are always here for you and your family Kelly. My heart is truly broken for you. Austin was blessed with a big heart and a huge smile and laugh. He made people happy! That's a rare gift! He got all that from you! You are a blessing as a friend and above all a Mom! We love you! And you and your family are in our prayers.

Austin, I will miss you and your laughter. I will miss the family gatherings and the pictures with you playing around with the kids and enjoying your family. May you rest in peace. Love you, Auntie Bonnie.

I met Austin through the Baldonado side of his (mind bogglingly large) chosen family. He had the biggest heart and always made me feel so incredible about myself. He was so kind and we shared a lot throughout our friendship. We were so comfortable with each other from the moment we met. Austin plays a pretty significant role in my thoughts all the time because of how generous and thoughtful he was. I doubt that will ever change.

I'm so sorry I had to meet the family under these...

Goodbye for now dear boy. We'll see you on the other side.

Throughout my life, you have had of the biggest influences on me. When we met, I was going through the hardest part of my life, and you not only accepted me as one of your own, you even gave me a roof over my head when I had nothing. You lifted my spirits in a time where I found no value in myself. There is no way I can ever thank you enough for just being there for me. All I can say is I love you brother, and I will see you in the next life.

Austin was a beautiful person that truly brightened up the world around him. He was loved immensely and will be missed dearly. My heart is with his many loved ones, may you rest in paradise sweet friend.

He was a wonderful person. Always smiling and making sure his friends were smiling too. There was never a dull moment when I was around Austin. Rest in peace my dear friend.
