Our hearts are shattered. The night of April 21st our families were changed forever by the tragic loss of our son Austin. Austin has 3 younger siblings: Lyman Jr, Levi & Annabelle. He was a Senior at Lakeville North High School, class of 2020 Panther strong. Austin enlisted in the National Guard last month and was due to start basic training in September. He had everything in line with a clear path and the world was his to own. Tragically his ending came too soon. I was hesitant to implement this page, however, when thinking about an opportunity to really represent our son  in the best way a Mom knows how, I could not deny him of that. Austin deserves to be remembered for the kind-hearted kid he was, the give his shirt off his back or fix your bike tire kinda guy, the quiet, sweet, yet hilarious crazy driver teenager who scared me every time he had a chance, then sit down and watch This is Us with his Mom kinda kid. He loved his Subaru, wrenching on things and building motorized bicycles.

This cannot be his end. I am asking for your help in planning for his funeral expenses. From the bottom of our very broken hearts, we thank you for reading our tragic story.
