Austin, I am still single, but with that being said If/whenever I have my first son, he will be named after you.

I truly enjoyed our conversations. It was always a great time playing darts with you and just chatting it up. Rest in peace, brother.

I'm so sorry for your loss! Sending all of my love and prayers to you and your family!!!

As Dad would say “ I love you forever and ever Amen” fly high little buddy and I hope you’re dancing with the angels. Say hi to Dad and Jodie for me. Love you, Austin.

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

I met you when you were 7 years old. You captured my heart then with your big blue eyes and all that sass. I loved every little sarcastic comment you threw at me. But most of all, that smile and your laugh annd your hugs always melted my heart. Watching you grow into the person you became was such a gift. You brought laughter, personality, and so much light into the lives of the people around you. You were deeply loved and will never be forgotten. Sending Ninny, Shelby and Bonnie so much love as they try to navigate through this world without you. May their memories of you bring them comfort and peace. Love you always Sam

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time.

Grief is a shadow that follows the light, A testament to a love deep and bright. So take every moment, to weep or to rest, And lean on the hearts of the ones you love best

Austin man, I do truly wish we spent more time together in our adult hood, you really did make my childhood, I’m not saying that just to say it, I literally I have the smiles on my phone to show the proof that you have done this, you are/were such a great person on earth, nobody could match what you have done here, I am truly gratefull for the time that we had together and with family and friends it was very unique with you in it, I’ll let you rest, but I will let you know that I’ll probably be thinking about almost everyday!!!❤️❤️❤️

I'm so sorry for the loss of your son.

My sincerest condolences to you and your family.

I wish we had more time you were more a brother than a nephew
