It is with a heavy heart to announce the unexpected passing of our beloved son and brother, Austin William Stone on January 12, 2017. Born April 20, 1993 he was a 3rd generation Florida native and lifelong resident of Chuluota, FL. His strong spirit and infectious smile will be greatly missed.
Austin was a talented athlete and outdoorsman. He was an Oviedo Lions football player from the age of 5 until his high school graduation in 2011 from Oviedo High School. Starting off as a lineman, he later became a leading fullback. His talent truly shined on the field. He graduated from Seminole State College with an HVAC certification in 2013. Austin had always aspired to be just like his dad since a young boy and had recently joined his father's business as a foreman in the aluminum/screening industry within the last few years. He enjoyed hunting and fishing with his two brothers, Dad, numerous cousins, and friends. Always a competitive spirit, he usually came home with a good "fish story" or two. Quick witted and a prankster, he loved being among family and friends. At a very young age, Austin developed a soft spot for those less fortunate and was quick to lend a helping hand. In death, he was able to bring life to others as an organ donor.
He is survived by his father and mother Christopher and Christine, brothers Matthew and Hunter, maternal great grandparents Francis X Heidrich, Sr and Rachel, maternal grandparents Francis X Heidrich, Jr, Kenneth and Marcia Emerson, an abundance of aunts, uncles and cousins.
Please join us in celebrating his life 11:00am, January 28, 2017 at Most Precious Blood Catholic Church, 113 Lockwood Blvd, Oviedo, FL 32765.
