Austin was one of my best friends ever since the 10th grade when the teacher had the genius idea of sitting us next to each other. Our friendship just grew from there. There was just something about him, he always lightened the mood of everyone around him, and he was always seen with a wide smile on. He was just such a caring and awesome person, and he has left such an impact on my life. I love you man, and i will miss you forever.##imported-begin##DeVonte Diaz##imported-end##

Austin and I were friends for eight years, ever since we met in fifth grade. I have so many great memories of Austin, from two in the morning last Friday when we were both watching The Hangover and we realized we were at the exact same part, to him choosing monkey balls for his Amazon plant project way back in fifth grade. I will always remember him smiling that amazing smile. He brought so much into the lives of those around him, and he never failed to make me laugh.
I miss you so much Austin.##imported-begin##Rebecca Glassy##imported-end##
Austin was a bright beacon, whenever he entered a room everyone was uplifted. Sometimes in life we meet people who can change the mood by entering a room and Austin was one of those wonderful people. He was a good friend to not only my son but to many. He has left an indelible mark on DeVonte's life and DeVonte is a better person for having know Austin. We have been holding you in our thoughts and prayers and will continue to hold you in our hearts.##imported-begin##Joe and Valen Diaz##imported-end##
Hi. I'm Lexi, and I sat with Austin at lunch everyday for the last school year. I'll keep it short, but Austin will be missed very much. His laughter and sense of humor kept the lunch group on our toes. Thank you for the gift that CHS had everyday that Austin was there.##imported-begin##Lexi Ary##imported-end##
We were devastated to hear the news and are so sorry for your loss. Austin was a great friend to Ian and we will always remember his charisma and that SMILE! Our thoughts and prayers are with everyone who was touched by him. We'll never forget you, Austin.##imported-begin##Jill Clogston##imported-end##
I am so sorry about Austin. We were good friends in 6th grade. He was a good friend and always had a smile on his face. He will be missed by all. It is hard to believe he is gone.##imported-begin##Ian Clogston##imported-end##
