Austin was an intelligent, happy, funny, caring, tenacious, motivated man who put 150% into everything he did. His athletic skills and team spirit shined throughout his youth. From the early age of 4, Austin played baseball, basketball, football, as well as wrestling. He touched the hearts of so many teammates and families who, for many years, watched him grow into the amazing young man he became. He graduated from Fort Zumwalt South Highschool in 2017. Austin played offense and defense for the FZS Bulldogs football team his freshman year. His sophomore year he began playing varsity ball and immediately became a fundamental member of a victorious unit. These strong bonds quickly molded into life-long friendships and a brotherhood as strong as a family bond. After high school he perused his education for a couple of years, taking classes at UMSL and Washington University. Austin was a valued and adored employee and co-worker at Kitaro in O'Fallon, MO from 2014 until 2019. In 2019 Austin decided to spread his wings and moved to Charleston, SC. In 2020, Austin began working for MyBudVase, where he flourished and grew into an upstanding businessman, and found great self- pride in a career that he enjoyed and excelled in. 2022 brought new opportunity for Austin's professional growth and he began managing operations for his company in Las Vegas. Austin was a cultured, experienced, well rounded human being. In the short time he was given here on Earth, he overcame many challenges and hardships and never gave up on his path of progression to success. He continuously strived to work vigorously to accomplish big goals, reachable dreams and hard earned achievements. The outpour of love and compassion for him will never dim.
Austin was taken too soon. He gave this world so much beauty, love and kindness; and never asked for anything in return. He was independent and incredibly wise beyond his age. He will always and forever emit a bright, radiant light on the hearts he touched. The world is a better place because of the beautiful impression he left on the souls he touched and the people who loved him the most. Austin had a smile that lit up any room.
