Honoring Austin: A Brother's Heartfelt Plea

my name is preston perry my younger brother austin perry was sadly killed in what we hope to be an accident. he was on a boat with others and ended up going in the tennessee river we were told the guy who owned the bought was a neighbor of my sister. this neighbor called my little brother the n word for what i believe to be over teenage beef between so called neighbors son. in my opinion i dont see why a father didnt try to ease the tension between some kids to have fun on the boat but sadly this didnt happen. my brother was thrown off the back of the boat while standing by force of acceleration. the owner of the boat then wanted to leave my brothers body in the river but another man didnt let that happen and we are blessed to have his body confirmed and not go on wondering. there are supposedly 3 witnesses to this including the owner of the boat. we are still waiting on the autopsy to confirm the cause of death but my brother was no idiot he wouldn’t jump in a river he wanted to go the air force and would call me about it i wanted nothing but for him to achieve his goals he deserves it more than anything. he had a hard life in foster care and was finally living with my sister wanting to get his life together and actually be a kid. our mother never concerned herself with any of us n i have 8 siblings. his father died when he was around 5 and we eventually got him from foster care but he was just a kid who didnt understand why he was left. so he ran and was taken from us. we used to call and text quite often as he got older but i lived out for 3 years and i moved back and have been here for around 10 months and i just started being able to hang out with him we never got to be the brothers i wanted and it truly breaks me. this is the hardest moment in my life and i dont even know where to begin to give him a beautiful resting place i cant stop talking to him like hes right in front of me telling him to keep me strong. i dont know what he did to have this happen but i hope he is happy and celebrating im not very good at this and im spending time zoning out in between typing i pray this reaches people and i leave it in the hands of God i believe he is holding my brother in his arms welcoming him. i love you lil bro were always gonna have a convo hope they have speakers in heaven.
