With heavy hearts and immeasurable sorrow, we announce the passing of Austin Gibbons — a beloved son, a cherished brother, a loyal friend, and a radiant soul whose presence left a lasting imprint on everyone fortunate enough to know him.
Austin’s life, though tragically cut short, was a powerful testament to compassion, resilience, and love. He had a heart that beat with kindness, a spirit full of energy and joy, and a smile that could brighten even the darkest days. His laughter was contagious, his words thoughtful, and his presence — simply unforgettable.
Whether he was lifting someone up, sharing an inside joke, or offering his unwavering support, Austin had a unique gift for making people feel seen, valued, and truly loved. He never let anyone walk alone — not in their sorrow, nor in their triumphs. He was there for birthdays, for broken hearts, for silly moments and serious talks. He was the kind of person who made life feel bigger and better just by being in it.
To his family, Austin was a cornerstone — a loving son whose devotion never wavered, a sibling who protected, joked with, and cared deeply for his brothers and sisters. To his friends, he was family — loyal to the core, fiercely supportive, and always ready to show up when it mattered most.
His passions, whether they lay in music, sports, or simply the joy of being outdoors, were fueled by his zest for life and his desire to experience the world with open arms. Austin’s light shone brightly, and even now, that light will continue to live on — in every memory, every story, and every heart he touched.
As we mourn his loss, we also celebrate the profound impact of his life. Austin taught us to love harder, laugh louder, and be present with one another. Though we are left with grief too deep for words, we are also left with the gift of having known him — and that is something we will carry with us forever.
To know Austin Gibbons was to love him, and to lose him is a heartbreak we will carry always.
Please keep his family and friends in your thoughts and prayers as we navigate this unimaginable loss. Details of a memorial service and opportunities to honor Austin’s legacy will be shared in the coming days.
Rest peacefully, Austin. Your light lives on in us all.
