Austin Odom Obituary

Austin Pierce Odom, 20 years old, passed away on June 16, 2016. He was born on Aug. 11, 1995, in Anchorage, Alaska. Austin was a lighthearted, loving, loyal, young man with a great sense of humor. He was a best friend to everyone and treated friends as if they were all family. Austin enjoyed camping, riding his dirtbike, spending time with family and making people laugh. He was witty and never missed an opportunity to make a joke. Austin's biggest pride was his family: he had a heart of gold and would do anything for any of them. Austin's motto was to enjoy life and to never let a day go by without doing what you love. He is survived by his mother, Brandi Odom; siblings, Hailey, Emily Odom and Isaac Klassen; his aunt, Myla Odom; uncles, Joshua and McKenzie Lethenstrom; and grandparents, Myles Odom, Roberta and Paul Lethenstrom. In lieu of flowers, the family has requested donations to help cover funeral expenses be made to Wells Fargo Memorial Fund Austin P. Odom account #3836062210. Or mailed to P.O. Box 110345, Anchorage, AK 99511. A viewing open to the public will be held on Friday, June 24, 2016, at 3 p.m., with Services at 4 p.m. at Legacy Funeral Home, Kehl's Chapel, located at 11621 Old Seward Highway in Anchorage. A Celebration of Life will be held from 5 p.m. - 8 p.m. at Viking Hall, 8141 Briarwood St., Anchorage, AK 99518, with Reflections shared at 6 p.m.

My heart aches because this family is exactly what a family should be bonded to the core. He is missed by so many more than just his siblings and mother. My home isn't going to be the same without my other august boy. Thankful for all the laughter he shared with us.
