The Lord is my Sheperd;
There is nothing I shall want
He makes me lie down in green pastures;
He leads me beside the still waters.

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.
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
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.
