A heartbroken community gathered this weekend to mourn the death of Austin Metcalf, a 17-year-old athlete and outspoken Christian whose life was tragically cut short during a stabbing at a local track meet.
Over the course of the memorial, Metcalf’s closest friends and family gave tributes, which painted a vivid portrait of a teen who illuminated lives with his infectious laugh, fierce loyalty, and relentless drive. From his spiritual growth to his role as a supportive friend, Austin’s impact was undeniable, with speakers urging attendees to “live like Austin” by spreading love and perseverance.
Austin’s mother, Megan Metcalf, shared a deeply personal reflection about learning she was expecting twin brothers Austin and Hunter. “The day that I found out I was having twins, I stayed in bed for the rest of the day because I was scared to death that my life was going to change, but it changed in such a blessing to have my boys by my side,” she said, her voice trembling with grief. “For now, instead of you walking beside me, I will accept you being above me, and I love you, my big baby.” More Here
