He very much enjoyed church and loved spreading the word of the lord to others. Austin always tried to make sure everyone knew they were loved. He was a very kind thoughtful person and would do anything for anyone. He was funny, goofy  and he loved making people laugh. 

Austin was my cousin that I quite literally grew up with, some of the very best memories that I had as a child was with him. The memories I will never forget are waking up with him on Christmas morning, pretending to be wrestlers and wrestling, catching bugs and making forts. Austin was my best friend growing up and always made me laugh he was the brother I never had.
