Terry Austin Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
He is survived by his loyal and loving companion of 10 years, Mary Lou Frizza and her son Nicholas Frizza; his loving daughters, Brandy Austin and Kayla Austin both of Morgantown, Cassandra Ringer and her husband Adam of Bethel Park, PA, and Corrie Holifield of Indiana; his grandchildren, Dawn, Autumn, Lillith, Carlin, Daryn, Kelsi, Austin, Aeris, and Rhyker; and his siblings, Wilbert "Doc" Austin and his wife Mitzi of Ft. Wayne, IN, Marion Keener and husband James of Morgantown, Lilly Matthews and her husband Mark of Morgantown, and Lois Tenney of Morgantown. Also, he leaves behind his fellow Cleveland Browns fan and football watching buddy, his nephew Joe Nunez; and his dear friend, Travis White.
He is preceded in death by his parents; his son, Adam Austin, and his siblings Tom Rhoades, William "Woody", Charles, Theodore "Junior", Judith Austin, Linda Grimes, and Nancy Heinze.
Terry was an experienced and long time truck driver, and a Jack of all trades. He was a die hard Cleveland Browns and WVU Mountaineer fan. He was generous and kind to everyone who met him. Even if he had to go without, he would take the shirt off of his back to help someone else in need.
Though his pain has ended, he has left a hole in the hearts of his companion, family and friends that can never bill filled.
We encourage friends and family to visit Terry's memorial page to share memories, upload photos, and celebrate a life well-lived. Terrys life was a testament to the truth that it's not about the destination, but the journey. His journey was a beautiful one, and we invite you to join us in remembering and honoring it.
