August was a strong, proud, and faith-filled man who lived a simple life but made a deep and lasting impact on everyone around him. To know him was to love him. He found joy in the everyday moments and treasured nothing more than time spent with his family. As a devoted father and grandfather, his greatest pride was his children and grandchildren, with whom he shared countless memories, laughter, and love.

He is survived by his beloved children: Jason and his wife, Heather; Christopher and his wife, Joni; Jennifer Metzler and her husband, Michael; and Eric.
