Beau Austin

Our Dear Son Beau, lost his battle in life. My peace is knowing that Beau is where he’s been wanting to go since a toddler. HEAVEN… His soul was never at peace here on earth. He had been fighting mental and physical pain since a child. A friend told me a couple of years ago that Beaus only peace was going to be in heaven. I realized I had to keep loving him and let God do his work and I was maybe being selfish by trying to keep him here. That really hit hard. I knew that I had to let God do his work and heal him. Even if healing was leaving us. The pain I witnessed I don’t wish anyone to live in. So at this moment I celebrate his life knowing he is at peace for the first time in his life. Beau was an old soul, so full of wisdom, love, he had it all and yet he didn’t. God took a young man out of his pain. That big heart and smile is watching over us now.

Beau Austin died at the age of 34 on January 23, 2020 in Memphis, TN. He leaves behind parents, Rhonda and Al (Kat) Austin. He was preceded in death by his grandmother and grandpa, Mary (Gran) and Jimmy Hodges. He leaves behind with so much love in his heart for his two sons, Logan Young and Braeden Austin; Ancil and Wanda Austin (grandparents); Scarlett Riesselman (sister); and Misty Johnson (girlfriend).
