  4. CandleImagePlease know that my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this challenging time.

  5. CandleImageI have many many wonderful memories of Austin. He was a kind, patient and quiet soul.
    He always worked hard and when done working in the hot Texas sun all day with my son Quatro doing landscaping work Austin would come back to my place where he was staying at the time and ask me if I needed any help doing anything. That would astound me. The contractor at the time remodeling my home told me he wished he could find workers like Austin. Everyone liked Austin, he had a very easy going temperament.
    I’m sad that I’m writing this and speaking of him in the past however I know that he’s in a better place now.
    I am blessed to have been close to Austin for a short period of time and I will always smile when I think of Austin Wheeler.
    My heartfelt sorrow goes out to the entire Aranda family and extended family.

  6. CandleImageIn the years that Austin worked for me he became much more than just an employee. He’d become a part of our family. With his polite manners and kind heart, his willingness to help without question, he endeared himself to us and our customers alike. In many ways, In my heart, I will forever think of him as the son I never had.

    Austin had a passion for art and was quite talented. He was very good with animals, too. He especially took to Sparky, our very old dog. He was a friend to everyone he met. He was willing to share as little or as much as he had with anyone in need.

    Ultimately Austins greatest legacy is the two beautiful daughters he leaves behind, Haylee and Alexis Aranda. remember them in your prayers.

    Austin and I were good friends. I’ll never forget you, buddy. Ken

    • CandleImageMy dear sweet friend Austin I will miss you so very much. Austin was my good friend and would ride along with me while I did Uber Eats in the evenings and through the night to make me feel safe. We always had had such a good time talking.

Austin was a very good friend of mine. I will always be thinking of you and miss you tremendously. Love you Austin! Until we meet again in Heaven my dear friend… April

  7. CandleImageI still remember cute, little baby Austin in his playpen and how my sister, Alison would dress him so cute and perfect for the day. He was very in tune to others even as a young child. And so sweet. When he was in his teens, he stayed with us, for awhile and said he felt a lot of peace, from God’s light on him. I miss him and I hope and pray for everyone touched by Austin and his sudden passing to be comforted by God’s presence. That Austin is at rest till the return of Our Lord Savior. Jesus Christ, God Our Father’s only begotten Son. And, I know like I know know, God has Austin.

  8. My sincere and heartfelt condolences to Sal, Hannah, Haley and Alexis and all of those who loved him and are feeling the heartache of this loss. May his peace bring each of you some peace and may his memory always be a blessing.
    Hilary
