Fine, I'll refer to him as Austin. Austin r.i.p.

I'm still sad about this. He wasn't constantly on the BB but when he was he was always an upbeat and friendly young man. I think we all got a sense of his personality. I keep thinking of the family and what they must be going through.

My GOD! I haven't been on here for quite some time. Just signed on today and I find this sad and horrible news. I just can't believe it!!!!

Austin and I shared a passion for the game of football and talked about it whenever we could.

He was a gentle giant. Such a great person.

This is really a tragedy. Very very sad.

Just seen this. Horrendous news.....


RIP Austin

One by one, our old friends are gone...but they aint old!

Plaw went before his time, and Austin was way too young!

This is so so sad. I'll always remember his joyful spirit around here.

JG - can you please disable the ratings for both this and plaw's thread? one has 3 stars and the other has 4, and it's just disgusting to see these stars appear next to these threads.

I disabled it altogether - didn't really serve much purpose...

Thanx, and I agree, the whole thing was pointless. Fits more for a less mature forum.

RIP , Austin thoughts and prayers go out to the family.

I was only wondering about the cause of his death, probably just as anyone else. Has anything about it come out yet? I did not meant any disrespect.

Austin's birthday would've been today... almost 3 years after his tragic death. Man.....

What a horrible and tragic end. As a mom, I think often of his parents and hope they are finding a way to cope.

Wow, 3 years already? I was so shocked when I heard that news. He was always such a polite young man, friendly to everyone. What a tragedy. Seeing the slide show, was very touching. Looked like a very nice family. RIP Austin

Its crazy how life goes on after the loss of a loved one(speaking from experience) god rest your soul austin.

I ran in the Cleveland Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving. During the race, I saw a couple of people wearing shirts that said "Team Austin Bice." Does anybody know where he was from? In the beginning of this thread I saw he passed away in Spain. And I realize it's not a completely uncommon name. If nothing else, it made me think of the BB's Austin Bice and hoping that he is at peace.

Goombah,

I think he was here in CA. San Diego I believe. I remember him well. He was always respectful and friendly. Nice kid!!

Thanks TIS! I kind of figured it was a coincidence.

Hope you and your family had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Maybe not a coincidence. If you go to http://www.austinbice.com/ (which has been mentioned a few times in this thread, years ago), it's about the 2012 Oceanside Turkey Trot. Is that the same thing? If so, too bad the site hasn't been updated (and, has been stripped of everything but that).....

How Sad, so young.

RIP

That is a fear parents have when their kids travel abroad.

When my youngest daughter had a chance to live in Germany and go their to school for a semester.

I used her credit card to track her. She was living with a family who taught in the school. I had someone do a check on that family. I had that person watch over her. That is my daughter the communist . I taught them all I have 4 kids how to defend themselves.

The worst thing I can think of is out living your kids.

When my oldest went to college and that was here in the U.S. I tracked him through his credit card. Before he went I went to the west village I bought him condoms. I told the gay guy I want to buy condoms that were like a suit of armor

I hope at the funeral when they talk about their son. They talk about the good times they had with him and not about his death.

When I talk about people who are gone I talk about the good times we had and not about their death or how they died.
