Austin and Gael Rothfuss

Many of you knew Austin from his work with Rothfuss Auto, his work on Rothfuss Racing, his gaming, his time in school at Warrior Run High School in Turbotville, through his Dad Ray, or just because you were good friends with a great young man.

Unfortunately, Austin passed away on August 12th in Williamsport unexpectedly. In addition to losing Austin, the family is now dealing with the loss of the family matriarch as Gael Rothfuss, Austin's grandmother, passed away earlier this week.

The loss of both Austin and Gael so close together have placed a large financial strain on the family and one that they shouldn't have to worry about while dealing with the grief of losing a son and mother in such short order. I have started a funeral fundraiser to help defray some of the cost of their funeral expenses.

If we exceed our goal, any additional funds will be donated to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention in memory of Austin and hopefully these additional funds can help someone else in their time of need.

It would mean a lot if you could share this fundraiser with others who knew either Austin or Gael.

Thank you so much for your consideration,

Matt
