Austin was a bright light in the lives of everyone who knew him. Known for his infectious smile and boundless energy, he was the life of the party and a true lover of dancing, laughter, and living life to the fullest. He lived by the words he held close to his heart: “Live more without sorrows.”
A faithful and compassionate friend, Austin was always there for anyone in need—a steady, supportive presence and a kind ear for those going through hard times. His selflessness, quiet strength, and gentle nature touched countless lives. He had the rare gift of truly seeing people, offering not just words of comfort, but a genuine hug that could lift any spirit.
Austin approached life with determination and resilience. A hard worker who never complained about the hand he was dealt, he gave his all in everything he did. He was known for his big heart, his generosity, and his unwavering belief in enjoying life’s moments—big and small.
He loved the outdoors, often found camping under the stars or paddling down a river in a canoe. Those who joined him on these adventures knew the peace and joy he found in nature, and the way he made even simple trips unforgettable.
Beloved son of Marie and Paolo Callea, and Anselem Jackson; loving brother of Brandon, Cole, and Joselyn; dear nephew of Paul; dear great-nephew of Lori and Dale Conlin, and Linda Persinger; adored grandson of Kathy Triplett. Austin is also survived by many cousins, extended family members, and friends.
Austin leaves behind a legacy of kindness, laughter, and love. Though he left this world too soon, his spirit lives on in the many lives he touched.
He will be deeply missed by family, friends, and all who had the honor of knowing him.
