It is with deep sadness and heavy hearts that we share the loss of Austin, a beloved son/father, family member, and friend, whose life was tragically taken in a homicide. Austin was deeply loved, and his absence has left an overwhelming void in the lives of those who knew and cared for him.

The family is now facing unimaginable grief, along with unexpected financial burdens related to funeral and memorial expenses, time away from work, and other immediate needs. During a time when they should be allowed to grieve and begin healing, these costs add an additional layer of hardship.

We are asking for the community’s support to help ease this burden. Any contribution—no matter the amount—will go directly toward supporting the family during this incredibly difficult time. If you are unable to donate, please consider sharing this fundraiser and keeping the family in your thoughts and prayers.

Thank you for standing with this family and surrounding them with compassion, love, and support. Austin also was a father to a son that just turned ONE in February.
