Cherished baby boy Koda Andrew Austin was born and passed into the loving arms of Jesus on January 3, 2025.

A Million Times

You never said I'm leaving

You never said good-bye

You were gone before I knew it

And only God knew why

A million times we've needed you,

A million times we've cried.

If love alone could've saved you,

You never would have died.

In life we loved you dearly,

In death we love you still.

In our hearts you hold a place,

No one else will ever fill.

It broke our hearts to lose you,

But you didn't go alone.

Part of us went with you,

The day God took you home.

Those left behind are Koda's loving parents, Xena and Andante Austin of Hereford, Texas; maternal grandparents Rosie and Chris Trusty of Princeton, Texas; paternal grandmother Chandra Brown of Hereford, Texas; maternal great grandparents Linda and Freddy Contreraz of Hereford, Texas, Gina Yeman and Mark of Maud, Texas, and Thomas Trusty of Irving, Texas; paternal great grandfather Leo Brown Sr. of Hereford, Texas; aunts and uncles, Paul Tovar Jr. (Daisy) of Amarillo, Texas; Santanna Tovar (Stephanie) of Hereford, Texas; Joshua Tovar (Jasmine) of Princeton, Texas; Christopher Trusty, Jr. of Princeton, Texas; and Xavier Lewis of Clovis, New Mexico.

Koda has joined his grandmother Felictima Brown, grandfather Paul Tovar, Sr., and uncle Zachariah Trusty in heaven.
