Austin loved life. He love people. He was the center of attention. He could always make people laugh. If you were without he would do anything to help you.

Tell Us About Their Struggles With Addiction:

He started smoking weed at 16. Went to rehab and jail and started doing meth. He started using heroin, and overdosed several times. Now matter how many times he tried to stop using, heroin had a hold on him.

What Made Them Smile?

He loved his family. He loved spending time outdoors. Going to the river. Hanging out with his friends. He was an amazing cook. He went out of his way to make people happy.

What Do You Miss the Most About Them?

Everything! He warmed so many people's lives. When he walked in the room the whole room would light up. I just miss my son.

If You Had a Chance to Say One More Thing to Your Angel What Would It Be?

That I miss him and I love him. I'm sorry I couldn't take his pain away, and I'm sorry I couldn't save him.
