Austin was born June 7, 1996, in Houston, TX. Austin was suddenly taken from us on August 1, 2013, in San Antonio, TX. Austin was a junior at Foster High School and a gifted athlete who excelled at any sport he played. His love and heart was for baseball. His dream was to play baseball at Texas State University. Austin started playing baseball at T.W. Davis YMCA and then on the Brazos LL when the family moved to Fulshear. He was a 4-year All Star for Brazos LL. His final year of little league he chose to forfeit his fifth year All Star position to play in Lamar LL. Austin had always wanted to play with his school buddies and felt that was more important than anything else in the world. Austin was still an All Star by making the Lamar Blue-Grey team at Lamar LL. Austin played for Foster HS Sophomore and JV Gold baseball teams. He was so looking forward to being a part of the Foster Varsity team. Select baseball teams Texas Cyclones, South Texas Sliders and the Banditos. He was really proud and honored to be part of the South Texas Sliders 2011 Premier Baseball Incoming Championship Team in Joplin, MO. Fall 2011 he started playing for the Houston Banditos Baseball Club. He loved his Banditos team and new buddies. Austin was on top of the world last year during scout day when club owner Ray Deleon singled him out to have a one-on-one visit with Texas State & Texas A&M scouts. His potential will never be known, but we know he is on GOD'S ALL STAR TEAM flashing that big beautiful smile. Austin's twitter page picture is of a stairway to heaven stating, "One day I want to honestly say I MADE IT". You made it sweet boy!
