Austen Sullivan

It is with a heavy heart that I share the unexpected and heartbreaking loss of Austen Sullivan.

Austen made the world a better place just by being in it. He was present in every moment, never too busy to show up, always offering a listening ear, a helping hand, or one of his unforgettable hugs. He had a rare kind of kindness — genuine and unwavering — the kind that made people feel truly seen and loved.

He touched the lives of everyone fortunate enough to know him. His kindness, humor, and compassion left a lasting mark on all of us, and his absence has left a void that can never be filled. His journey wasn’t easy, but he walked it with courage, touching countless lives along the way.

In the midst of this unimaginable grief, many people have been reaching out asking how they can help or support his loved ones. With the family’s blessing, I’ve set up this fundraiser as one way for friends, extended family, and community members to come together and support the family with final arrangements during this incredibly difficult time. Please consider sharing this page and holding his loved ones in your thoughts and prayers.

Austen's life was a gift — one that will always be treasured. Though he is no longer with us, the love he gave and the light he brought will stay with his friends and family forever.
