Tribute to Pat: Help with Final Arrangements

Main fundraiser photo
Help us honor our beloved Pat Austin

It is with heavy hearts we share the sudden passing of Charles Patrick Austin, who left too soon on June 4th, 2025, after multiple seizures and a trip to the hospital. Unfortunately, he left behind no will or written statement to smoothen the process, and we will need a probate lawyer as a result. While we would love nothing more than to honor him with everything we have, money will be very tight. This fundraiser is to help pay for any legalities and give this man the wake he deserves.

Patrick was an influential person in many lives, and though he was brash, he was someone everyone loved. He enjoyed referring to himself as a ‘Manic Mechanic’, and often claimed he could fix anything built by man. A lover of music, cars, tools, and life, Pat touched hearts wherever he went. While we will all miss him dearly, we know he’s in a special place.
