Austin was a retired educator. He was a member of the Magoffin County Historical Society, a basketball coach for the John T. Arnett Rebels for many years, and a car enthusiast. Alongside his passion and dedication to raising his family and teaching, Austin thoroughly enjoyed farming his tobacco field and tending to his many animals, especially his horses and his cat Callie. Austin enjoyed working with his wife Connie on countless projects for the Magoffin County Historical Society. With his endless knowledge, he was a Jack of all trades; a "fixer" of all things; but most of all he was a loving husband, father, poppy, brother, and friend to all.
