Not a day goes by that we don't remember "Bear". He will always be in our hearts until we see him again, then there will be great joy for all of us!

Joe, Roxanne and family:
Just a word to let you know your family has been in our prayers over the last year.  I know losing Austin must have been hard.    I still remember him and your other boys from Cadets.  Just pray that God gives you peace as you continue on.
Sincerely:   Bernie and Carol Gabrielse

My memory of Austin, is seeing him every weekend at Flos. I always had a ton of respect for Austin, as he was always a kind person, hard working, and quick to reccomend his favorite items. Every visit; I would always look forward to seeing him, working with his family and taking care of those around him.  When I would drive home with my family after, we would often talk about Austin, and how well mannered he was. He seemed to always make a good impression.

Austin introduced me to Spicy Pickles, I know its not the most grandeous memory, but those pickles always remind me of him and his stories of when he would make them at Christmas time. Austin was truly a gentle soul, he will be greatly missed.

When I was in the hospital in 1st grade during Christmas time, Austin had an idea to give me a small Christmas tree with lights and ornaments from him and the class. I had it set up in my hospital room at Childrens Hospital LA. During Christmas each year I would still take it out & put it by my bed. It made my Christmas better and it made me feel good that he and my classmates were thinking of me. It was very thoughtful and kind of him & showed how giving and selfless Austin was. 

Watching Austin grow up I always saw a kid who was kind, funny and caring. He always took the time to say hello to me and showed the utmost respect for adults. You have many reasons to be proud of him. He is so missed. 

Though I’ve known Austin since he was born, my only memories in my youth were of opening Christmas presents with him and his brothers. When I got older, I had asked Roxanne if the boys would be able to come over and care for our 2 dogs and pig while we were on vacations. Roxanne would always exclaim how excited he and Logan were to do it. She would send me pictures of Austin rolling around with the dogs and cuddling them. I swear he gave them more love than we did! It always made me smile to get those pictures and know not only were our animals in good hands, but Austin was having fun as well. Though I didn’t get to interact with him much as we got older (only through those pictures and small conversations at Flo’s), anyone could see that he was a truly sweet and gentle soul.  

Hi I was a co-worker and friend of Austin.  I just wanted to reach out and tell you how sorry I am for your loss.  I worked with Austin every Monday we were on the same crew and then during the week I would see him on the ramp.  I can’t tell you why but I was drawn to him...he just had this gentleness about him, I don’t know but I would go out of my way to chat with him and we became buddies, at least on Monday’s.  He was such a sweet gentle respectful young man and I just remember him always happy.  I was there that Monday like I said we worked together and the last words that we said to each other will stay with me forever.  I’m sorry if this is too much. I’ve thought a lot about contacting you and as a mother I just felt like I had to.  I just wanted to let you know that the whole ramp felt his loss that day.  We all have been and still are grieving him.  Everyone loved him.  He was the sweetest.  He will forever live in my memories.  I just wanted you to know in case no one reached out that we all think about him as well, and in that short time he touched all of us in some way.  Thank you for reading this and I hope your pain eases with time ❤️. Take care.   - Johanna Keeney Ramirez

My memories of Austin started with him and his brother EJ weather it was one hitting the other with a golf club in the face or one getting pushed into the wall at the doctors resulting from broken bones. There was always some excitement going on with the family.  He spent a lot of time with his cousin Ysabel that he loved dearly. As he got older and started to work, one job being Flo’s, I would get to come and see him. Hearing him call me Uncle Roger made my day or maybe it was also the fact that it was like a family reunion when I came in. (Getting to see most of my family all in one shot) my heart breaks daily to see his parents, grandparents and siblings go through all the pain and to know that I’ll never hear the words uncle Roger from him again. I Love You Austin, your Uncle Roger 

I remember  a long time ago when he was a little tiny guy and in my class. He was a curious rambunctous normal little boy and I would have try to guide his attention to better options but sometimes he would get a time out. Momma would come get him after school and ask him if they get to go to Target and get a  dinosaur?  or monster truck ?  If he had a good day😬🤗 
I loved having Austin in my class. He is treasure in my memory. 
Love you Roxanne, ♥️

Austin, 
Even though outside of Flo's and the airport we didn't get too much of a chance to know and talk with you, we always felt close to you just seeing the magnificence of you standing tall walking through those doors at Flo's and knowing your a member of the loving Stache family who we have grown to Love all these years!  Brent always enjoyed seeing and talking with you and your Dad when he would see you at your hangar across from ours, he would say it's nice to converse with intelligence, I hope that doesn't sound too arrogant, but that's the way he felt.  Your forever in our hearts Austin! Love, Brent and Connie George

I've struggled trying to find a memory to share, I was there when you were born, and I've loved you all your life, but I left when you were young, and we only had moments here and there throughout your life, then I watched the video,  and I realized I knew 90% of those photos,  most because my daughter was in them. It was then I realized my best memories are all the memories you made with Bell, how excited she was everytime she came home telling me how much she enjoyed her visits.  Austin, you were everything to my daughter. her cousin, her brother, and her best friend. My heart broke the day my daughter called me in tears telling me we lost you, and it has broken a little more each time my daughter needed me to help her find the strength to be there for her wonderful family.  I don't have one memory to share, I was proud no matter how much time passed between our visits. You always introduced me as you aunt.  But if I had to pick a memory,  it would be when I let Bell surprise you for your birthday at the beach, I think that was the moment I realized how much you meant to her, the smile on both your faces in the pictures she sent me said it all!! 

Kellie and Austin first met in preschool at OC. We will always remember him as  such a sweet and polite boy and then as a young man in high school with so much potential. Our thoughts and prayers will continue to be with you.  

Dear Austin. 
I’m excited for you as you begin your new afterlife with our Lord and family and friends that you’ve been longing to reunite with. I’m asking that you remember that your sweet mama is hurting.   Today is her birthday, and All she wants is you. Come down to her as a butterfly flitting over her head. Or a white dove in her yard. Or a song on the radio. Or stare deep into her face through your puppy’s eyes. She’ll know it’s you. She’d recognize you anywhere. 

We were in Chino for three months in Summer of 2006. The whole Stache family were helpful and very friendly. We loved visiting them and enjoying the back yard swimming pool and awesome burgers! We are sad about the loss of Austin and we pray that the Lord may give you His peace. We send you our love. From the Holtslag family in New Zealand. 

Praying for you Roxanne and your family continuously. 
I remember sitting next to Austin, you and your family at OC's spaghetti bingo dinner; Austin had so much joy. My son has said how Austin was always so nice to everyone. 🙏🏼 ❤Thank you for sharing your precious son Austin with us, whom one day you will be able to  hold again💔🕊💝❤

Austin was an amazing man. He always smiled and was very polite. Although Dao and I only saw him a few times, we enjoyed conversing with Austin. Dao and Austin would talk sports. We would talk about life events. We would always get updates from Mom when we would  make it over to Chino.  Austin may you rest in peace. 

I can remember billy and I talking to Roxanne many many years ago about Austin teams since I’m from New England  he love the Patriots and Red Sox which is very unusual to find someone out here I told her next time I see him I’m sure to give him a Hi Five love you Austin


 I specifically remember Austin’s kindness and compassion toward others. He always had a smile on his face and a kind word for the people around him. ❤️


Our deepest condolences to all of Austin’s loved ones. You’re in our prayers during this difficult time. We didn’t know Austin but we frequent Flos’s and we often saw  Austin wearing his Patriot’s jersey, my husband and I both work for UPS and my husband asked his local hub to lower their flag when he heard of the accident.  🙏🙏

For this I really don’t know what to say there’s not just one memory that stands out it’s a whole lifetime of memories spent with my little brother. Yes  we bicker and fought but that really doesn’t matter because at the end of the day you are my little brother no matter what you had my back. I wish you were here bear we all miss you very much eventually we will see each other again. Blue skies forever, I love you bear 

Austin was always so active as a toddler. From the moment he could walk, he was running. I remember shopping with you guys and every time we turned around, Austin was off somewhere else. Take your eyes off of him for a second, and he was gone.  He was a free spirit and loved to explore his world. He always had so much joy in him. 

I loved going into Flo‘s when Austin was there. He would be wearing his Patriots jersey. Me being a loyal fan of another team, I would tell EJ to go up to him and say something about his Patriots. Then the smack talking would start. Lol One thing I loved and respected about Austin was that he was true and loyal to his sports teams, the same way he was to his family and friends.You will be missed my friend. Be smiling from above when the Lakers win it all this year.

Hey Big Aust. You were my very first friend at Ontario Christian, and you were also my best friend. We spent all of our time together, and even had a lot of the same classes all through highschool. I remember us being on the gridiron, playing football together. The monotonous practices, but coach always put us together because he knew how close we were, and how great we were as a team. I remember him calling us "The Dynamic Duo", and I guess that proved true for a lot more than just sports. We used to do so many stupid things in class, make stupid jokes, walk over to Taco Bell or In-N-Out after school all the time and just talk about whatever we wanted to. We didn't really fit in anywhere, and that's why we were such great friends. I'll miss you a lot. We went through a lot together, and I'll never forget the memories we've shared. You were my brother, and I'll never forget you. Ever. 

Austin, 
As one of the only true friends I ever had growing up all the way through elementary school, I cannot express how grateful I am for you. Even though we drifted apart through life, I’m glad we got to connect again before your passing. As a brother of mine from beginning to end I love you man and won’t ever forget the memories we had together. I still remember shooting around after school with your over-pumped  tire basketball. We’d always stay too late playing and it would make us both late for the bus. I’ll never forget the crazy awesome sound effects you loved to show me every time you discovered you could make a new one. I loved playing on our gameboys at school inside the classroom when it was raining during recess. I would have never guessed that would be such a cherished memory, but you made it one for me anyways. And I can’t ever forget the times you loved rubbing the Patriots in my face and standing up for them. The loyalty you had for all your friends, including me, and your big heart easily made you one of the coolest guys I could have asked for in a friend.  You and your family are in my prayers buddy. Love ya Stache.

I met Austin at UPS. I was on his crew.  Every morning we would talk about the Lakers.  He had just purchased a new rain jacket to prepare for the upcoming rain. He loved  his  Rincon jeep and the Patriots.  We would talk about how lazy some people were at work.  I would  joke with him about how tall he was he could barely fit in the pits of the plane. He was a great person and a great friend. I am so honored to be a part of his life.  I still hear his laugh and see his face in my thought. I miss you Austin.
