Tripp William Austin's Obituary
In the arms of his loving parents, Tripp William Austin died on Friday December 7th 2018 at Children’s Medical Center in Dallas.
Tripp was born on December 27th, 2016 in Longview, TX to Zach and Julie Austin. A miracle from our Lord, Tripp loved being outside, picking up sticks, watching the train roll down the railroad tracks, and riding the lawnmower with his dad. He liked to be pushed in the swing by his mother, snuggle with his sisters and brother, and talk about colors. If you were ever around Tripp, you were warmed by his wonderful smile and delighted by those sparkling blue eyes. If you were lucky, he would blow you a kiss goodbye.
In addition to his parents, Tripp is survived by his sisters Allison and Ella, and his brother Brooks. Grandparents Dr. Kenny and Gindy Kimbrough, Steve and Betsy Austin; Great grandmother Marge Dome; aunts and uncles Kristy and Derek McBride, Ginny and Steven Walker, Carrie Austin; cousins Hayden, Garrett, and Zach Walker; Dylan and Laney McBride; Carrie’s children Bruce, Tucker and Paisley; and many other great aunts, uncles, relatives and friends that loved Tripp very much.
The family will receive friends on Monday December 10th, 2018 from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. at Mobberly Baptist Church in the South Foyer in Longview, TX.
A celebration of life will be held on Tuesday December 11th, 2018 at Mobberly Baptist Church at 10:00 a.m. with burial following at Rosewood Park in Longview, TX.
Tripp’s family would like to thank School for Little Children, Julie Ford, the first responders, Dr. Kristi Bagnell, the medical staff of Christus Good Shepherd and Children’s Medical Center of Dallas, who all worked tirelessly to help Tripp.
Tripp’s family is overwhelmed and comforted by the loving support of numerous friends and family during the past few days. While Tripp will be missed and forever remembered, his family finds strength and peace in God’s word and knowing that Tripp is in heaven with his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
