Austin was born in Tampa to Charles and Brenda Paul on June 29, 1996. Growing up he loved sports, especially basketball and soccer and played on several soccer teams. He attended Sickles High School and graduated from Florida State University with a BS in Hospitality and Tourism. He relocated to Dallas, Texas for a hotel management program in 2019, and returned to Tampa during the pandemic, where he sold insurance. Austin loved traveling and was fortunate to have visited many places in his short life. Most recently he was able to go to Colorado and the Dominican Republic with his closest friends, some of whom he has known since childhood.
Austin is preceded in death by his grandparents, Charles H. Paul, Josephine Paul and Gary Lockie. He is survived by his parents, Charles and Brenda Paul, his grandmother, Sandra Johnson, his aunts, Laurie Paul and Karen Jo Alexander, his uncle, Brian Lockie and many cousins.
