On January 22nd, our family was met with an unthinkable tragedy when Austin unexpectedly passed away. While we will be keeping the details of his passing private out of respect for Austin and for our family, his absence is immeasurable. Austin leaves behind his wife, JaShelle, and their two beautiful boys - Tasker (3y), and Kayce (2months).

So many of you have reached out asking how you can help, whether there is a GoFundMe or a meal train, and your love has meant more than we can ever put into words. JaShelle is not someone who ever asks for help. But for those of you who loved Austin and this family and have been looking for a way to help beyond what you’ve already done—please know that your thoughts, prayers, kind words, and support already mean everything and are more than enough—we are making this page.

Any funds shared here will go directly to JaShelle to help with funeral expenses, bills, and caring for the boys as she navigates this unimaginable season. If you feel led to help in another specific way or have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me, Kylene Hall.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you—for every message, every prayer, and every act of kindness. We feel them all and are so thankful for this village.
