My children have been friends with Austin, his sister Morgan and his wife Sam since they were in elementary school. They have played sports together and lived a wonderful childhood together. I asked recently how he was doing and my daughter had run into him and his beautiful children at the baseball field where the kids played. It broke my heart to find out he passed. Of course my mind went to his mom also who has to be absolutely devastated. Some things just don't make sense and this is one of them. The world lost a beautiful young man and heaven gained a lovely angel.

Thank you for sharing Austin with all of us. What a wonderful young man who gave back to his family and community. It’s too bad we don’t know more about them until they are gone. My condolences to all who knew and loved him.

WE (older generation) are meant to outlive our children. Austin's Mom and the rest of his family are going thru grief that all of us hope we never have to. I realize this doesnt help, but my thoughts and prayers are with them. You dont have to literally "know" someone to feel for them.

It is unimaginable the pain.

will I be able to keep up with new social media platforms like substack! It is important, I want to share links on Facebook, but, like following/finding local obituaries, I feel challenged!
