My name is Julianne Kiedinger. It is with deep sadness that I share the sudden and unexpected passing of Connie Birkicht’s beloved son, Austin. There are simply no words to describe losing someone

so young, so full of life and so deeply loved.

Austin was from Yorktown. He attended Grafton High School and graduated in 2015. He was a huge fan of the Texas Longhorns, the Dallas Cowboys, the Texas Rangers and he loved the Edmund Oilers.

Austin enjoyed playing Xbox, adventuring to new landmarks, cooking in the kitchen, but mostly, just being with his best buds.

No mother should ever have to experience such tragedy. And with serious medical problems of her own, Austin‘s mother, Connie, is now facing this heartbreaking loss alone with her 90 year old mother. As Connie and her mother mourn their loss, it would be wonderful to come together as a community to lift them up and help ease some of the financial burden of funeral expenses and more. No parent should ever have to go through something like this. During this time of grief, your love, prayers and ANY

contribution, no matter the amount, mean more than words can express.

Please join me in lifting them up in prayer.

Let’s honor Austin’s memory with the same love and kindness that he shared so freely with everyone who knew him.
