Jeff Metcalf described Austin as an honor student, a natural leader, and a talented athlete.
In addition to track and field, he was a linebacker on the Memorial High School football team.
“Austin was a leader. He led the football team. He was voted team MVP by his players and coaches,” he said. “He played inside. His brother plays outside. Football was his pride and joy. He was working on track and field to increase his speed.”
The three went hunting together this past weekend, something they loved to do together, and the twin brothers had grown up doing with their dad.
“I’m so fortunate to be able to spend that weekend, not knowing it was the last weekend I’ll ever spend with him,” Metcalf said. “I was able to watch and be blessed, so much, to have such, both my sons are amazing. My other son is just crushed. I feel for him now, he won’t be the same. None of us will.”
Based on the number of people who showed up at the hospital, Metcalf knows his son touched people’s lives.
