"When peace like a river attendeth my way, When sorrows like sea billows roll,

Whatever my lot, THOU has taught me to say;

it is well, it is well, with my soul,"

The Austin Family officially announces,

the Obsequies for

Deacon John "Tiny" Austin

With tremendous sorrow, we bow to the will of our Heavenly Father as we humbly announced the unforeseen, yet triumphant journey of our beloved,

Deacon John "Tiny" Austin

In the timeless echoes of eternity, amidst the whispers of the celestial realms, the immortal words of Jesus resound; "Jesus said unto him, I am the resurrection and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: and whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this!"

In the morning of June 21, 2024, the angel of silence came, and the celestial clock chimed at the precise hour of 1:30 A. M., the mortal shall transcend the boundaries of morality, embracing the realm of the immortal.

Deacon John "Tiny" Austin's legacy is etched in the tapestry of our souls, as he was not merely a father, churchman, statesman, but he was a beacon of light illuminating the path to righteousness. His presence was a testament to the omnipotence of God's will, a testament that shall endure throughout ages.

In this solemn hour, our hearts unite in fervent prayer for the Austin Family, his beloved wife, son, grandchildren and beloved village of family and friends. May the grace of God, which glowed abundantly through Deacon John "Tiny" Austin, be a balm to our spirits in this time of mourning.
