He was born on May 27, 1988 to Steven an Susan (Riffell) Davis in Columbus, OH. Austin battled sarcoma, and his faith and strength during his illness were an inspiration to others.

He is preceded in death by his maternal grandparents, Lloyd and Kathryn Riffell.
A Celebration of Life will be held on Thursday, February 26, 2015 at 7 p.m. at the Herman-Kinn-Karlovetz Funeral Home & Cremation Services, Fremont, where family and friends will be welcomed beginning at 4 p.m. An additional informal celebration will be held on Saturday, Feb. 28 at the Edge Youth Center in Malta, Ohio, from 2-5 p.m. for food and fellowship with a short service at 5 p.m. with pastor Jamie White, Mt.
