      Austin you were the most amiable and gentle person that has ever crossed paths with me. When you would come over to see me you always made me feel safe and happy.  You were a light beaming down in a  dark time in my life and I could never thank you enough for the joy you would bring me.
I am praying for your family because I know their hearts ache for you. I hope one day I can let you know how much of a difference you made in my life and how much I regret not telling you while you were here. 
The month of love in the year of clear vision.  Austin wanted his family and friends to clearly see his love,  I saw it.
rest easy sweet angel.

Austin had a good sense of humor, always polite . Always with a smile.

To see that you past on Facebook completely made my jaw drop. Though I haven’t seen him since high school , I had been going through a tough time recently & you were checking up on me. & told me over time things would get better to not give up. you kept telling me I had been glowing & i look so happy. & I loved getting those little messages. 
I’ll never forget those uplifting days you gave me. thank you so much. & watch over all of us until we meet again. 
Rest In Paradise Sweet Angel


Since I am a relatively new addition to the Woods friends, I know Michelle the best and can only say that she is the most devoted mother and wife any family could ask for and so hard working.
My heart aches for the whole family, but just know we are all here for you.
Love,
Mardi Lutz

Rest in paradise Austin! 
High School wouldn’t have been the same without you! I pray that you’ll always look down on the whole class of 2015!!! Keep each of us safe! You and I would argue so much because you always had something to say haha but you were  such a funny person and definitely had a great heart!!  You always kept everyone smiling!! God gained I know for a fact a beautiful soul!! Forever inside our hearts AUSTIN! Jasmine Vega and I will be paying our respects Friday! God bless your whole family and those you were super close with!! My condolences to each and everyone of your family!!! 

I’ve known you since middle school and you’ve always been nice to me never were you once mean to me. I was really shy throughout school and didn’t have many friends and you were the few people who treated me like I was a human being in highschool.  you were always nice to me. The last time I talked to you was 2 weeks ago. You gave me advice on a situation that made me feel really bad about myself and you made me feel a lot better and let me know it wasn’t my fault, even though I blamed myself. Thank you for that you don’t know how much that meant and eased my soul, Your beautiful soul is resting peacefully  🕊.

You always had me laughing n happy ily austin ... Rest in peace .

Austin, my love.

I still can’t believe that you are gone,.... I remember being in Ms. Stewart’s class and you will always get her upset and then make her laugh. She could never be mad at you. That class was soo much fun, the class was my favorite to go too. YOU, YOU made that class whole. All the pranks and jokes you would say and do. Austin my love you are loved and I know sometimes you felt like people didn’t understand you, but I did. I understood how great of a person you were, how you wanted to change to this man you were becoming, how you care for others and how much you valued being with people and making them happy. Austin my love please watch over everyone because it’s sooo hard to grasp the fact that we won’t get to have other memories or conversations with you anymore. But you will be in our hearts forever. I love you and know you are truly missed. 💕😘

Austin , my sweet woodster, my best friend . I can’t even comprehend why , why god chose you . My heart is absolutely broken. Where do i begin. From loving my family like it was yours to bringing me strawberry lemonades you were truly the best friend i could of ever asked for . Our friendship started a long long time ago and only grew from there . You never let me down . You always made me feel better weather i was dealing with anxiety , the loss of my dad or just in a bad mood you made it better . Your one of the only people who knew the things i had to go through and you never left my side. I don’t even know how I’m supposed to do certain things anymore without you . Who’s gunna pull in my drive way and rev there engine who’s gunna walk through my door and make a scene who’s gunna call me and ask me if i need anything from the store you did it all . You were so selfless. You knew me better then i know myself you and Chris were my boys i can’t even begin to explain how heart broken we all are . Feb 8th i went to chillis with you and we went back to your house , we blasted Our fav songs we had a few drinks and then you decided to  wax your truck we laughed so hard  . The smiles and laughs we shared that night were effortless if i would have known then what i know now i would have hugged you so much longer i would have told you how much i love you and how important you are to me . You were a true blessing to me my son and Chris and i won’t let it go . I’m so sorry bub . I love you austin . I truly love you.

Austin was such a kind person and he made a big impact on people’s lives without even realizing it. I will forever cherish the memories I have of him whether it be from the silly jokes he would say in class to get on the teachers nerve to him asking how I was doing because he knew things weren’t going easy for me at the time to after graduating taking his time to check in and see how I was doing. Austin was truly taken from us too soon. He will forever be remembered, missed, and loved. 

Austin, you were the epitome of a gentleman. You treated my daughter with the utmost respect and you always greeted us, her parents with the same.  You always had a smile every time you came through our door, we will miss your happy soul, your great outlook on life, and the way you treated others.

I didn't know you well, but I will never forget the first time I met you, you were just a baby and I was walking out of the Winn Dixie at Goldenrod and Lake Underhill when I saw your dad walking in. I said hi and asked who is this little guy, he replied my son Austin and I said well this is my son Austen who was 2 at the time. We had a good laugh and went about our business. May you rest in peace sweetheart, it's obvious you were a ray of sunshine to everyone!

 To say Austin was an uplifting person to be around would be an understatement. His spirit and energy always filled every room he entered, and you were quickly displayed with how big of a heart the man had when you got to know him. If someone needed a friend he was always there. He was attentive to the people he cared for, would pay attention to the little things about each person in his life; the things that really mattered at the end of the day. 
If you needed a good laugh, that's all you would get when being in Austin's presence; cause he was always joking around making you smile. Everytime you hung out with him, was a good time. I feel thankful to have the memories I do with this great soul, and am greatful for the things being his friend has taught me. 


I will forever miss your perspective and insight, your jokes, and mainly, I'm gonna miss having you for a friend...  
Rest in paradise Woody, I know you're tearin' up them dirt roads on the outskirts of heaven. 

- love you buddy,  Annie Bates

I will never forget how uplifting you were, whenever anybody was down you were there to put a smile on their face. I’m going to miss you little cousin, I love you x10... 

There are so many memories but yet not enough. Your smile lit up the world and your hugs were the best. I will miss you my nephew, my friend. Watch over your family. We were all so blessed for the time we had with you....fly high bud. Love Aunt Marlaina

Prayers, love and hugs from the Garlanger's. 
Linda, Vernon Sr., Vernon Jr, Victor and families.
