Austin was the only person in the whole city of Madison. That gave me a chance to change my life, simply by just trusting me, a homeless man who made mistakes and giving me employment at Benvenutos and doing all he can to help me to better my situation. Rest in peace, good buddy
I'm terribly sad to hear of Austin's passing. He was my best friend at Lincoln School, and I will remember him and the fun we had as long as I live. Unfortunately I won't be in town to express my condolences in person, but Austin will forever remain dear to my heart.
To his mom, Michelle, and brother Branden, I wish you strength through this difficult time.
Bye Austin.
