Aw, that is so nice that they sent in the letter and video to remember him. He seemed like a wonderful young man, it's such a shame.

What a wonderful thing for his family to be able to see what magic he created for so many others. Prayers go out to them in this sad time, as well as to all in the Disney Family who this has affected!

That was a good video. He seemed like a very intelligent person. It is very sad. I hope Disney does not forget his family.

OMG! He looks just like my brother in law did at that age! It took my breath away when I saw him. It was a lil creepy from that perspective, but he sure made lots of magic for that family.

Thanks for the link. I read the story yesterday, which is copied/pasted and posted, but didn't see the video. It was touching and something I'm sure this family will treasure.
My thoughts and prayers are with Austin's family, friends and co-workers.

Oh my goodness, that is such a sad thing. I know his family is just devastated over the accident - he seemed like such a fine young man.
