Still rememered and thought of fondly every day.

It's a little stranger, nearly 7 years out from Austin's death that I'm even here reading his Obituary and thinking about it. Austin and I weren't close friends -- we knew eachother, sometimes ate lunch together, I was more of a friend of his sister's but even then it was more like we just shared a friend circle somewhat.
But I wonder about Austin's death sometimes when I'm sitting around. I'm 7 years out from the death of guy I could only just barely call myself a friendly acquaintance of, but I often wonder what he'd be doing now, or what affect his death might have had on me. That isn't so important. More often than not I just hope his family is doing okay.
It's strange how quick things can just disappear. Even the small things.

Dykes Family,
I have heard so many wonderful stories about your son during the past few weeks. He touched a lot of people's hearts and that is something that will be unforgettable. You must be so proud. My daughter & I wanted to express our sincere condolences during this time.

I didn't know Austin well, but had the pleasure of meeting Austin and his family on an occasion or two when his Uncle Everett and I went to visit. He seemed like a terrific kid with many interests and a bright future ahead. As I listened to the stories everyone shared about "life's happenings" it was evident that he loved his family very much and that they deeply loved him in return. Having a teenage son of my own, I can't imagine the depths of pain and sorrow you all are feeling (The Dyke and Hubbard families) for this tragic, senseless loss and as my heart aches for you all, I hope you will accept my deepest sympathy. There probably isn't much that will bring you comfort at the moment, but I hope you will eventually find some peace in the memories you have made together as a family, and in knowing that Austin's spirit is eternally bonded with yours and that he will live on lovingly with each of you in heart, mind, body and soul.
I wish you all much peace and healing in the weeks, months and years to come!

What a wonderful and kind young man. Austin would always say hello when we would see him at the library. How many young men would care about an elderly man.

Austin, you were something so special to me i couldn't possibly say it in words. " You don't know what you have till its gone". I guess that saying is really true. I never had this sick feeling in my stomach before of losing a loved one. I never thought it would have to be you. You were to good for this world, and your in a better place now watching over me and all your other family and friends that care about you. I love you always and forever, I will see you oneday again

Stay strong Dykes family.

I did not know Austin at all, nor do I ave any connection to his family. What I do have is a similar circumstance, and that is more than enough to reach out and express with conviction that I do know what you are going through and I'm sure Austin and my brother are "kickin' it with Jesus" as my brother would say.
Rest easy Austin.
