It is with inexplicable sadness that the family of Brian K. Austin announce his sudden passing, after a brief illness, on Friday September 9, 2022 in Plano Texas at the age of 51. Born and raised in Pulaski, NY, Brian spent most of his adult life living and working in the restaurant industry in Syracuse, NY until his 2021 move to Broken Bow, OK. Brian was beloved by all that knew and loved him. His quick wit, sarcastic humor and infectious personality drew people to him. He was a loyal friend who went out of his way to let you know he loved you with a big bear hug, a call or group text. If you knew Brian, then you also knew his boundless love for his dogs Cora Rose who pre-deceased him and his baby Samantha Anne. Brian will be lovingly remembered by his mother Anne Allen, his son Brian Austin-Carter, his brothers Barry Austin, Carl Carter, Ryan Mills, Jim Costello, Brad Costello and Chris Nason, his sister Pamela Austin, nephews Kyle Heaton and Dylan Austin, as well as countless friends, classmates, and colleagues. A celebration of his life is being planned for early October in Syracuse.
