We were two peas in a pod! Always planning ways to scare Yaya and your mom. I'll keep the memories of us running through Spain and only knowing which direction to go because we saw your mom on the bus to beat her back to the apartment. I'll forever treasure being able to tap you out at your BMT ceremony and the biggest hug you've ever given. Love you always, Aunt Stephanie

It was my pleasure and privilege to have known Austin. I met Austin when he was a little guy and would stay the night with my son. Him and Jimbo was born on the exact same day, so we got to share a few birthdays together and a lot of good times. He was a noticeably sharp and witty for a little guy and grew to be even sharper young man. He did what a lot of other folks don't have the courage to do and raise his right hand and join our nations military. I am extremely proud to have known such a smart, sharp, and selfless young man. I will miss him! Jimmy
