Freda Family,
There are no words at such a difficult and tragic time. Auston was a very special man who was so polite whenever I saw him. I'll never forget meeting him in Macy's when he was trying to return Amber's bathing suit. He had it bundled up in a ball without a bag or any receipt. I took it to the clerk and told her it was my daughter's and she threw away the receipt and needed a smaller size. So it was exchanged with no problem and Auston hugged me so and thanked me over and over for helping him. He was a special person and a true friend to my CJ, his big brother.
May God give you the strength and peace to hold you until you meet your precious son/brother again.
God bless you all!

To Auston (My Poem to you)
When you were born the Dr layed you down upon my chest,
We bonded together and I swore to god I would do my very best,
I showed you love with kindness, I would be there for you,
I saw the light in your eyes, the caring person so true,
You touched alot of lives, even saved a few indeed,
you were there for so many and also there for me,
Your smile opened hearts, your passion gave them trust everlasting,
The funny things you would do and say made everyone bust out laughing,
Auston I've always told you I'm proud of you for being you,
You would always reply "Mom, I know; I love you too,"
Nothing makes any sence, you had it all good looks, great job, love,
the only one who knows the answeres is the holy God above,
Now a Dr is holding me, i slowly went into the room,
I felt so helpless, so empty, my eyes filled with gloom, Well Auston you know the rest,
This time I kissed you, smelled you, & I layed upon your chest,
I love you Auston; Your mom
I wrote this in memmory of Auston

Auston had so many people who loved him and it was apparent at his service. I was amazed at all our young adults who came out to show their respect. This is proof that there is alot of compassion and loving hearts in our young generation. Rest in peace Auston and know you were very much loved and will be missed by so many. Take good care of each other Freda family and friends and may God bring you peace and serenity once again. God bless....Rita

As I look back I remember when Auston came to Moore Elementary and all the girls had a crush on him. Then he went back to Whitehall, but sure enough he came back to graduate with us at Northampton. In Modern Global you always made everyone laugh. Your smile would light up any room and you just made people happy by crossing their path. Even at prom you were sure to come over just to say hey. Your personality sparkles and it will be missed. May God watch over your family and friends. Rest easy Auston. You will be missed by many.

To Auston's family,
We only knew Auston for a brief time when he wrestled and played football with our son, Luke, at Whitehall before Auston moved to Northampton and Luke moved to Emmaus. Our memories of Auston are fond ones. He was always respectful to his elders - he always addressed me and my wife as Mr. and Mrs. Trexler. It's somewhat rare for a young man to show that kind of respect and also not be shy about holding a conversation with adults. He definitely stood out from most kids his age. He was an exceptional wrestler and hard-nosed football player and was well-liked by his teammates and coaches alike. We were shocked to learn of his passing and we just wanted to say that our prayers are with your family. We also wanted to share our brief but good memories of Auston with you.
July 20, 2009
Lori, I worked with you at B.Braun and our daughters Amber and Rachel Weller went to parkettes together. Stacey Horwath worked with us too. I am so very sorry for your loss. Even though we havent seen each other in years, please know you are all in our prayers.
Love and God bless you and your family,
sincerely, Tammy and Dan Weller

I didnt know Auston that well, i might have met him once or twice. But i did know this Auston and my brother [Travis] were really good friends and when id seen Travis' face when he got the news he was heartbroken. He has been a mess since then, though he tries to put up a good front you can tell he just wants to break down and he has a couple of times. Travis and Auston were together so often and he only spoke amazing things about Auston. Its such ashame he had to leave us so soon. I know Travis will never forget Auston and neither will our family. To Austons family: we are sooo sorry for your loss. Your son he was amazing, and will be truely missed.

To Auston's Family and Friends,
The first time I saw Auston was watching him wrestle in sixth grade with my brother as his coach. I could see then the fire and passion he had. I feel honored to have been able to coach him for two years at Whitehall. He was such a likable kid, laughing, smiling, enjoying life. It not is not easy losing someone so young. I am having a hard time dealing with it myself. I wish I could have done more for him. Take comfort in the fond memories with Auston. They will ease some of the pain. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

To the family and friends of Auston Freda,
Auston was a student of mine during his sophomore year in my mathematics class at Northampton. I remember him always being kind and polite - not to mention an extremely hard worker. He always had a smile and will be remembered as one of the nicest students I have had the pleasure of having in class. I would see Auston in the halls from time to time during his junior and senior years - he always made a point to come and say hello and ask how my school year was going...truly a sincere kid with a big heart. I saw Auston at graduation...gave a big smile for the camera...truly one of a kind. I extend sincere sympathy to your family at this time of despair. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.
Sincerely,
Ms. Angela Munjone

Dear Auston,
All the things that I wish I would have told you while you were still here. I remember the first time I heard you say "ghina" when you were a little boy. I don't know who you learned it from and I didn't want to laugh in front of you, but boy was that funny :). I remember playing in the pool with you and your sisters, you used to like when I would throw you up really high, you were such a skinny little happy kid :) One day, we will play in the pool together again. I feel a little better knowing that you have loved ones in heaven with you now, I am sure that pop-pop is really enjoying your company. We love you very much. Rest peacefully.
All of my love,
Elicia

My heart breaks at the loss of Auston. He was my student in my sophomore English class at Northampton. I will always remember him as polite and respectful. He would smile every day and make all those around him laugh. You could see the kindness in his eyes.
I will always cherish several of our long conversations about his life and dreams.
May God provide you comfort and strength.

Dear Auston:
I have spent the past 4 days remembering you as a little boy. That skinny little kid with so much love to give. Auston, this is not the way that I wanted to talk to you again, but it is all I have and I am going to use this time to tell you how very sorry I am and how my heart is shattered into so many pieces that it will take a long time, if ever, to mend. The last memory that I have of you is when I came to your apartment in Fullerton. You and I embraced and your hug was so tight that I could hardly breathe. You told me how much you loved me, and I returned my love. This is the kind of love that all of these people say you had. The proudest that I am of you is how close Ashley, Amber and you were to one another. You sure did love your sisters and showed it in so many different ways. I never knew how very important your were to so many people, especially the female gender. I know that you are in heaven with pop-pop and mammy and pappy who will take good care of you until we meet again as a family without pain. I love you kid, more then you knew. When I look into that sky at night and see a cluster of 4 of the brightest stars, I will feel some comfort because I know that mammy, pappy and pop-pop are with you. Remember that we will be together soon.

Whats up dude? Oh man, I still can't believe this happened. I've barely been able to stop crying since I found out Wednesday morning. I don't know what to do with myself right now. I can barely eat, I cant sleep. I just don't know what to do. I think it's harder than it would be being as you were one of the people who helped me out a lot when Dougie died and then to find out you're gone too. It just blows. Whoever said its easier the second time truly has no heart, especially when it was such a good friend and someone you've known for 14 years. Hell, im crying now again. And as much as I would like to go to both services, I can't handle it. Im inches away from breaking down completely.
Love you man, with everything that i have left.
Party strong with Dougie wherever you guys are.
Josh.

To the family of Auston,
I had the opportunity to get to know Auston when he was a sophomore in my biology class. One of the things that I can remember best about Auston was his sense of respect. He always showed respect for his instructors as well as his peers. Every student in the class enjoyed his company and sense of humor. Even though I did not have him in class for his junior or senior year he would still take time to stop me in the hall and ask how my year is going and how I like my classes. I know he will be missed by many and I am so sorry for your loss. Your family will be in my prayers.

Thank you for the times you made us laugh and thank you for the times that you made us cry. Im blessed and honored to have known you. You have been a big part in my life and it was a tremendous honor to be able to graduate with you. I'll never forget the talk we had after graduation and I'll forget the things that you would do in school to make us laugh (English and study hall). I looked up to you as a big brother and at times a father figure and i can never repay you for that. You are truly one of a kind and there isn't enough words in any dictionary that can fully describe you as a person and friend. And theres not space in this book that can show how much you I miss you. Thank you for the memories, laughter, tears, but most importantly thank you for being my friend. I will never forget you and one day we'll be telling jokes like the good old days because thats what they are good days. God bless you.
To the Freda family:
My deepest condolences go out to you and my heart is with you during your time of grief I personally know what it's like to lose a loved one but nothing of this magnitude. you have done an incredible job at raising a great man he was your son but I looked up to him as a brother. God bless you and everyone that has been affected by this tremendous loss.

To all family and friends of Auston,
My heart overflows with sympathy for all of you. My son, Jarred, knew Auston well. As i got to know Auston, I noticed that there was something different about him than with most boys his age. He ALWAYS took the time to say hello and to talk to me. He never once passed our house without waving and sending his warm, priceless smile over to us when we were outside. We will always remember Auston as an outgoing, sincere, and beautiful person. My son's heart aches for Auston and his family. Rest peacefully in God's arms, Auston. We will always love you.

To all of Auston's family and friends,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you. My son Justin went to school with Auston and got to know him really well this year and had a blast with him. But, the thing I want you to know is something my husband always said about Auston. My husband is a police officer and he said no matter where he was or who Auston was with, he would always come over and see how my husband was doing. That speaks volumes about the kind of person Auston was. He will be missed by many people. May God give all of you strength and peace knowing Auston is with him now watching over all of us.

To our very much loved Grandson, Auston,
You are one of five great people that came into our lives. You will always be in our hearts. We will miss the fun you put in our lives and the love you gave us in our hearts. We will miss the you at the Holidays, but not forget you. Remembering when you and Pappy would sing Puff the Magic Dragon and Over the Rainbow. When you and Pappy would work on you'r jeep, and when you,r eyes would light up when you found out I made Pumpkin pie (just for you). These are great times and there are many, many more more. Too many more to list. Just remember, Auston, One day we will all be together with you and GOD.
We love you and miss you a whole bunch.
All our Love,

Auston David Freda,
We grew apart over the past years and I definitely regret that! The summers spent at Cementon were the best summers of my life! There was NEVER a dull moment, always making everyone laugh :). I loved seeing your smiling face when I would run into you at the Fair every year or just driving past. It just made me smile, i don't know what it was! When I heard the news I was shocked and did not want to believe it. I still do not want to believe it but I know it's true! You had so much ahead of you and so many people who loved you, wish it didn't have to end like this. You are an amazing person and that will never change. Over the past few days all of our memories & your face just keeps playing in my mind, it won't stop. This is hitting harder then I thought it would. Just wish I could have one last hug, even just I Hi!. I will never forget you!
And to the family, Lori and Frank, I only met each of you once but yous are amazing people. Raised a great son and my love and prayers are with you both. Amber and Ashley, I love you both and I am here for you if yous need anything !!! Stay strong for each other! I can not wait to give all of yous huge hugs on Monday because I can not even start to imagine what yous are going through!
Miss you & Love you buddy, Always<3

When i think of Auston and what he meant to everyone i always think about the hillarious things he would do that would always make me cry from laughing so much. He were like each others older brothers we always gave each other advice and we always made sure that each other was good but it always seemed that he would be the one that would take the extra step to help everyone around him. He was funny but he was also very serious I remember during the art show t school we were making fun at a lot of the things that was there but there were times when he would give the person credit for making a great project. There are a hundred Auston stories depending on where you knew him from I had the pleasure of knowing him as a classmate,partner in sports, but most importantly I had the honor of calling him my friend and that means everything to me. So thank you Auston for making us laugh and now making us cry because everyones crying for you and theres no one better to give my tears to then you. I will never forget you.

I cant say Auston and I were that close of what a family should be, but he was a great cousin. No matter what he could always make you laugh. You could never say he was a bad kid, he was just like any other kid wanting to have fun, and have great stories to tell. He was to young of a person to go so soon. He was a smart kid and had a bright future in front of him. Auston, know your always in our hearts and will be missed by many, you will never be forgotten. I love you cousin forever less.

Auston,
It seems like only yesterday me, you, Brian, and Hunter were sitting in Brian's basement; or I was coming to visit you at Army. No matter what we were doing, one thing i know for sure is that we were always laughing. I have so many great memories with you i cant even begin to write them all down. My only regret is that we don't have more! You just had this way of making everyone smile and laugh no matter what kind of mood they were in. Im so glad to have met such an amazing person and friend, & I will miss you more than i can explain; but i know you're watching over all of us with that big gorgeous smile on your face. My love and prayers are with all your friends and family in this difficult time.
Miss you & love you always<3
& I Can't wait to see you again one day.

Austin you are a great kid and an even greater friend. I refuse to believe that i will never get to talk to you again and the reality still did not hit me yet and it is going to be extremely hard to say goodbye on tuesday. you will never be forgotten and i know you are in a better place looking down and watching over all of us. I love you man and wish this day never came.

To the family of Auston; I had the pleasure of having Auston pass through my electrical class during rotations at vo-tech. He was an outstanding student with a great personality. He ended up in the class next door to mine and we spoke and shook hands almost everyday. He was a pleasure to be around and always smiling. He often joked that he would like to "wrestle" me. His life indeed ended far to soon for this gifted person. He will definitely be missed and my condolences go out to all his family and friends.

My name is Danny. I worked with Auston at Fritch. It was only a couple of days, but it was enough time to get to know what kind of person he was. While on our last day I was going through a tough time in my life. I told him, "man you've seen me on both my worst and best days". Without missing a beat, he told me that things will work out. He said that you have to be open and upfront with everything. He was right. I saw him a few days later, and I told him that things were looking pretty good. He was happy to hear. It was almost like a 'I told you so' kind of response. I can tell you that he really liked working at Fritch. He told me every minute that he could how much he liked everything that we were doing. He was very eager to learn as much as he could. It was funny because on the 2nd day together, he brought a notepad to take notes.
Auston, you are truly one of the good guys, and you will be missed.
To the family: I couldn't even begin to imagine what you must be going through. I'm truly sorry for your loss. May God find a way to bless you in this time of need, and open his arms to Auston.

I want to express my deepest sympathies to Auston's family and friends. It was my pleasure to have gotten to know Auston when he was in my history class during 10th grade. He was such a special young man- bright, funny, kind... a personality that just energized the whole room. While I did not teach Auston during the last two school years, I did see him in the library and around the school. Each time I saw him, we had a good conversation, talking about what he was doing at the moment and what he was thinking about for the future. I will always remember him with his eyes shining and that great smile on his face. Your family is in my prayers.

We are all send our deepest sympathy during this difficult time. We have many fond memories with Auston at the baseball field and visits to your house. He was always happy and fun to be around. It was a shame to lose touch after you moved, but we thought of you all often, and are here if you need anything.

Auston,
You always had a smile that would light up a room. Over the past 4 years, we've grown so close. I can't count the number of times I would call you crying and you would stay up late at night and talk to me and tell me everything will be okay and your here to talk. You always knew exactly what to say because you were the one person who understood me. We understood eachother more than 2 poeple in this world. It didn't matter if I was right or wrong, you told me that I need to do whats best for me. You always had my best interest at heart no matter the situation. You always stood by my side even when I hit rock bottom, and you were the only one to bring me back up. You were turly one of my best friends. On my way home from graduation, I got a text from you saying we finally made it and you thanked me for everything I've done for you and for being a good friend. Now its my turn to thank you for everything you have done for me. Thank you for being my best friend and being there for me. Thank you for always putting a smile on my face even when I was crying. Thank you for making me beieve in my self and to have faith in any situation. Thank you for making me strong when I was weak, and most of all, thank you for making me the person I am today. Without you, I honestly don't know where I would be. I know I have many unanswered questions, but I know that I will be okay becuase I have you watching over me and I just gained an angel. I love you and you will always be in my heart.
To Auston's family,
I am so sorry for your loss. I cant imagine what it's like to lose a son/brother. You raised him so well and made him the amazing person that he was. Auston always told me to be happy, hold my head up high, and everything will be okay.
I would give anything to see your smile and have you give me a huge hug again. I love and miss you <3

Auston,
I don't even know where to begin. I will never forget the day that you asked me to Jr prom, i was so excited to go with you. I still laugh about the times you would sit on the hood of my car at lunch so i couldn't move because you wanted to talk to me. You never failed to put a smile on my face or anyone else. Anytime i had a problem you were there trying to cheer me up and talk it out. I'm going to greatly miss your sense of humor, out going personality and most of all that amazing smile that brightened anyone's day who saw it.You'll be in my heart, thoughts and prayers. Rest in Peace Babe <3 love you.

Auston,
Sweetie i remember like it was yesterday we would be sitting in modern globe class talking about where everyone would be in 5-10 years. I miss your laugh like crazy and especially your smile. Votech and Northampton is never going to be the same ever again. Im just really gonna miss talking to you since you were pretty much the only guy i could talk to during school about anything and everything. Whenever you had a problem or if i had one we always talked about it during class and Mentz never cared. Everyday you had a story to bring to the class and make everyone laugh. Nothing is going to be the same anymore. I know people that were extremely close to you and they love and miss you so so so much. Everyone misses you. We all love you sweetie. To your family, I send my best regards. I am very sorry for your loss.
Auston I love and miss you so much, you will and always will be in my thoughts and prayers each and everyday. You'll always have that spot in my heart. Rest Easy Angel<333

I'll never forget when you first came to Northampton, we had gym and study hall together, and I'll never forget how funny and sweet you were. Although I didn't get to have any classes with you after that, it was always nice to see you in the hall, alwyas with a smile on your face. You were such a sweet boy, I'm sad to see you leave so early.
To Austons family,
I'm am sorry for your loss, your son was an amazing person, and he was always there to give a hug or make a joke to brighten your day. He will be truely missed.

Auston,
Ever since I met you in 9th grade, you had a smile that could light up the room. Over the past 4 years, I have grown so close to you. You were always ther for me when I needed to talk. I can't even count all the times when I cried to you and you would always tell me no matter what that I had you there to listen and you assured me that everything would be alright. I told you stuff that I never told anyone and I knew I could trust you. We could relate to eachother more than anyone in this world. I keep thinking about right when I left graduation, you text me and said we finally graduated and thanked me for everything I've done for you. Now its my turn to thank you for everything you've done for me. You've made me a stronger person, you taught me to have faith and always believe in myself, and you made me who I am today. You really are one of my best friends. I have many unanswered questions, but I know that I have your guidance watching over me. I know that I'll be okay because I just gained an angel. There is not a second that doesn't go by where I'm not thinking of you.
To Auston's family,
I am so sorry for your loss. I can't even imagine the pain of losing your son/brother. You raised him very well and made him the amazing person that he was. You will always be in my thoughts and prayers.

When i heard the news, i didn't want to believe it was true. Auston was always such a sweetheart since the first time i met him in elementary school at a Northampton wrestling tournament he always had a big smile on his face, and when he came back to Northampton in 10th grade we had math together and we would copy each others notes cause we'd never understand our teacher. I could never have a bad thing to say about Auston cause he was so much fun to be around and rock out to i kissed a girl with. The sky will look more beautiful now that we have a prodigious angle watching over us. My heart and prayers go out to your family.

Auston was my student during both his junior and senior years at Northampton High School. It was always a pleasure to have him as a student in class. His bubbly personality, his kind-heart, and his compassion towards others made him such an extrodinary person. He always added an ingenious way of looking at ordinary situations. I will remember him always as a person who stayed after class to tell me his latest accomplishments (such as wrestling) and hopes of a bright future. And, I will especially remember his handshake to thank me for being his teacher as he looked forward to life after graduation. I am humbled to know he started to accomplish his dreams, but saddened to think that he left this earth so young. My thoughts and prayers are with his friends and family.

Auston was introduced to me by michael lester... i was able to become close to auston because of their amazing friendship. Auston was a funny kid he was always smiling with a smile that reached from one ear to the other. He never held grudges, and he was always there for anyone when they needed him. When michael recieved a phone call around 3am that day he wasnt going to pick up because he didnt know the number. When he heard that his best friend had passed ... all he could say while crying his eyes out is "its not fair" He was an awesome kid and will always be remembered and loved
