Austin J. Buck of Jacksonville passed away on January 13, 2019.  He was 19 years old.  Austin was born February 9, 1999 to Lori (Buck) Everett and Adam Buck.

Austin will be remembered for his deep love of his family, how he cherished his friends, his obsession with Batman, his wonderful Joker impressions, that he drew and wrote like a creative genius, his "punny" jokes, that he never turned down a hug, and was always kind to everyone. He will be remembered for all that he shared with us, taught us and showed us.  He was but one man, but he made a huge impact.  His lessons will live within our hearts forever.

"A hero can be anyone, even a man doing something as simple and reassuring as putting a coat on a young boy's shoulders..." -Batman

In Lieu of flowers we would love for you to donate to a very special organization that we know would mean so much to Austin. Austin went to Lighthouse Christian School and his principal Ms. Robin Schrodel and Austin had a special connection.  With her support he was able to learn and grow in an environment that encouraged and supported his shy personality and his creative mind. She is creating an art studio called Limitless , a non profit dedicated to promoting the talents of individuals with disabilities and special challenges through the arts.  She featuring Austin's work in the future and I know that he would be excited to support her and all that Limitless stands for.
