Austin Ekern Memorial Scholarship

Austin Ekern Memorial Scholarship Fund
Austin Ekern was full of life. He was everyone's friend. His smile was inviting.
He was days away from leaving for his 3rd year of college at FSU. Austin became a brother in the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity and helped organize social events. His friends often referred to him as the "Big Ek." In his free time, he enjoyed hanging out with friends and family.
Graduating from Oviedo's Hagerty High School, sports was an essential part of Austin's life growing up. He played football and Volleyball and loved every minute. His parents were always by his side at every game, as well as his brothers Cannon and Brandon.
The Ekren's have lost part of their heart that can never be replaced.
But we as a community can help. So many people have asked, "What can we do?"
In lieu of flowers, the Ekern family has started a scholarship in Austin's memory: "The Austin Ekern Memorial Scholarship at FSU" . This Memorial Scholarship will help another student attend Austin's favorite college.
