Sorry for your loss, I didn't know Austin very well, but I did write a poem about him in his memory. Austin was nice to have around in class. He could make everybody laugh. But he's in a better place now. And will be watching over all of his family. I wish you all the best. He will be in everyones thought and prayers. And never forgotten.
Rest In Peace Austin.

I had the opportunity to have Austin in my Government class this semester at North High. He added so much energy to the classroom, especially during our last unit of study when he was a campaign manager for a candidate running for election. He was fun to watch as he defended his candidate in a roundtable discussion as the one that would change America! My deepest sympathies go out to your family and all who knew Austin. It was a joy to know him, and a blessing to have him as part of our North High family.

It is with a sad heart that I write this note. Austin was a student of mine at North High school that I got to know very quickly. He was always polite to me, Austin and I got along very well. Know that he made a lasting impression on me as his teacher and many students at North High School. I will continue to pray for your family.

Austin, I only knew you since sometime this summer. For the short time I knew you, I got to know you pretty well. You're an amazing person.. I loved hanging out with you. I loved seeing your smile everyday, and getting your hugs. Your one of the nicest guys, I've ever met.. It sucks that your gone now.. I don't understand why it had to be you.. I'd do anything just to bring you back. We had some good times together, and I cherished them. All I wish for is for you to come back, and be here. But, I know that can't happen :( You're in a better place now, as they say. I'd rather you be here though. I'll never forget you Austin, you'll always be in my heart. There's not been a day that's gone by that you haven't been on my mind these past days. I'll see you again one day.. I love you.
