Austin Gilliss Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
A lifelong resident of Merchantville, NJ, Austin had a way of bringing out the best in everyone he encountered. He had the rare ability to turn complete strangers into cherished friends with only the briefest of interactions. He was the most charismatic and generous person we have ever known. Though our time with Austin was brief, it was more than enough to forever change us. His love for life and others is a beacon and an example we will strive to capture in our own lives. They say only the good die young and we now know that to be true.
Austin is predeceased by his grandparents, and survived by his mother, Margaret, father, Adam, his brothers, Michael (Christine), Steven (Annie), and Adam Jr (Allison), and his nephews and niece, Dylan, Andrew, Ava, and August. He is also lovingly remembered by his many aunts, uncles, and 24 cousins.
