Throughout his life, he was profoundly impacted by the love and support of those around him, especially his friends at Crunch Fitness in Taylors, South Carolina. His passion for fitness and well-being led him to teach and inspire others at Orangetheory Fitness in Downtown Greenville, where he cherished every moment spent learning and growing alongside his friends.

We shared something so special since the day we met. We understood each other in ways many people never do. If one of us needed anything the other was there. I will always have a special place in my heart for you and the love you showed me.

I had the privilege of meeting Blake and rolling with him at Linic Jiu Jitsu. Though I only met him about 6 months ago, I can say he was one of the toughest individuals I've ever met and was always willing to give me pointers and an attaboy. He will be missed.

Austin was a true gentleman!
Hard working, fun and interesting to be around. Such a passion for martial arts and becoming the best version of himself. I´m going to miss our chats in the studio and when we saw each other at the gym! Rest in Peace friend!

Blake was both motivational and encouraging at Orangetheory. One day he asked what I need to get my butt in gear. Joking around, I said "a hug" while dripping in sweat. Blake come over and gave me a bear hug and told me to get back to work. That was symbolic of his coaching style: one on one, trying to help you be the best version of yourself.
