My family has so many fond memories of Austin and the Monk family and it’s almost unbearable to think about all the great times and precious moments we were so lucky to experience with him. Austin was such a good guy and so funny. We all knew where Austin was most of the time when at the track or anywhere really because of his energetic personality and of course with all the horse playing he did but on a more serious note he was the most kindest and carefree person you would have hoped to have met. I wished everyone had the privilege to have met Austin and it was a privilege to all that knew him.It feels too late to express how I feel now that he is gone and I wished I would have done so many things differently the last time I saw him but I can almost hear him saying something funny to take the edge off because that was Austin all fun with no time for seriousness.I know Austin is still here in his father because this father and son duo was so special and they were so much alike, it gives me such relief knowing that Austins energy is still here. We love you Austin and I know we will see you again one day. Rest In Peace #17

I had Austin in my English class at Carroll Community College, and he brought life and fun to the class every day. I used to tease him about how much he was like my nephew, and it turns out that many people had told both young men the same thing about each other. They did eventually meet and work together. I'm so sorry for you loss. Austin was a remarkable young man.

I would frequently see Austin at RLK Security on Main Street in Reisterstown. He was never too busy to stop and chat or wave if passing by. He was always so friendly and sweet. My heart breaks for his family and co-workers. He will be missed by all
