Austin Stubby was one of the funniest people I have ever met.He could always bring a smile to anyone’s face no matter what mood they were in.He was smart,gifted,talented, and had a lot going for him.Austin you have touched the lives of so many and I promise you that you left a legacy of people who deeply cared for you behind.I just hope you are looking down on us all in God’s palm.May we see you heaven. And to his parents I will be praying for you guys throughout this rough time and then some.If you need anything do not hesitate at all to ask.
I will always remember how he could tell a joke or be sarcastic while keeping a straight face. I will always think of him as a protector. I knew when Christian was with him he would always be safe; on the field and off if something happened to one of his friendshe always made sure it didn’t happen again. He was a very loyal friend. He may have been hard to get to know didn’t let a lot of people get to close but for those of us who did it was time well spent. You see some people make friends easy and some people are worth making friends with Stubby was the latter and well worth the time to get to know him. As time goes by and people move on always feel free to email with anything I can do for the family. I know the difficult times are ahead for them, they will always be in my thoughts and prayers. Austin made a huge impact on a lot of people.

Each had their story to tell about times when he touched their hearts or stood up for them when needed! Your family has our memories and prayers forever!….Kevin Dunham and family!

Austin, you have been gone a long time now. I just wanted to tell you what a good kid I always thought you were. I was there with your dad the day he heard that you were coming in this world. I was also there when he was trying to think of a name for you. Your dad misses you something awful and so do I. I just never got a chance to tell you how proud I am to have known you and it was an honor being a small part of your life kid. I love you man. RIP Austin Blaise Stubby.
