Curtis and David are grieving the loss of a friend. They are at the BSA Jamboree and wish they were here to be with the Hillard family and friends. Austin was a gift to all who know him; he is greatly missed.

I really dont have the words to express my sympathy to you all-Austin was a great kid and will be terribly missed. One thing for sure is he has a brand new heart that will last forever now and soon we will see him again. Our hope in Jesus gives us that. I love you all and lots of hugs and love your way.

My last, and one of my favorite memories of Austin was the day he brought his guitar to my class. He would switch between sixties music, country-western, and praise and worship with ease. He was a very talented and personable young man. One of the last things he said to me was, “I’ll see you in AP Chemistry next year.” I will miss having him in my class when school starts. Our prayers are with Austin’s family and friends. Unto God’s gracious mercy and protection we commit you. And the blessing of God Almighty, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, be upon you and remain with you forever.

To the Hillard family,
Austin meant so much to us, he was like a member of our family. He was the best friend Fritz ever had, I can see the loss in his eyes. Austin will be remembered and loved in our family, he has touched our lives in a way that carries on forever. We will see him again, with our heavenly father!
We send much love from our family to yours,
Fritz, Louise, Dani, Fritz II, Ashley, and Heather
