Austin Hunsaker

Austin was just 18 years old when he accidentally shot and killed himself while under the influence of a mind-altering drug. His death has turned our lives upside down. We have never known such grief. It is almost unbearable at times. The manner of his death is in NO way a reflection of who Austin was. He was the most caring, giving, loving son, nephew, grandson and friend. He was always there with a smile and a hug. Always there to lend a hand or make goofy faces to cheer someone up.

I want to say how sorry I am for the loss of your son Austin. I too lost my son Austin. Austin was 22, addicted to meth and shot himself before being apprehended in a car jacking in Phoenix. August 24, 2006. It is so very hard. The pain is tremendous. May God take our Austins and wrap them into love and so much power to give us left behind the strength to deal with the loss of them. I miss him so much.
