Austin Brown, age 18, joined his Lord and Savior in Heaven July 21, 2019.
Austin loved helping people — be it serving on missions with his church, helping with the Hamilton Swim & Dive Team, or lending a hand to anyone in need.
Austin was a hard worker — he was never afraid to put his back & muscle into anything to help out.
Austin had no fear — whether it was diving from a cliff in Lake Superior, or jumping 30' into the Kalamazoo River, he never backed down.
Austin loved to read — anywhere and anytime.
Austin was a 3-year All State Diver with Hamilton High School, and was set and ready to join the WSU Swim & Dive team as a Warrior.
