Austin was born June 19, 1992, in Fort Worth to Mike and Karla Weidman. He spent his early years in Minster, Ohio, and moved back to Fort Worth in elementary school. He graduated from W.E. Boswell High School in 2011. After high school, he studied computer science at the University of Texas at Austin. He was passionate about gaming/esports, coding and app development. Augs was a brilliant, quick-witted yet often quiet, independent thinker who loved learning and respected different views. He was kindhearted, generous, gentle and a friend to all who knew him. He had the unique ability to discover and share music that could touch ones soul. Augs left our world far too soon.
He is survived by his parents, Mike and Karla; brothers, John and Taylor; grandparents John and Kathy Thome; aunts and uncles, Kerrie and Larry, Kraig and Letty, and Kurt and Leatha; and a host of family and friends who will miss him dearly.
