February 11, 1992 – July 2, 2019

With deepest sorrow, we announce that Austin Gleich, age 27 our most beloved son, brother and uncle passed away Tuesday, July 2, 2019.

Those who knew Austin, even just a little lost a shining light in their lives.   He was always up for an adventure but at the same time if business needed to be taken care of he was the guy. His kind gentle heart will be missed by everyone that knew him.

Austin will be missed everyday by his Father, John Gleich; his Mother, Toni (Rob) Thomas; brothers, Casey (Mandy) and Kelly (Korigun); sister, Josha (James); his grandparents, Jim and Dixie Gleich, Ron and Pat Vick; his loving nephews and nieces, Mason, Elliot, Wyatt, Charlie, Camryn and Julieanne; Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, the Foley family and his many, many close friends.

We know Austin is now with his Grandma Julie Ann Gleich and Great Grandma Pearl Griffiths and is loved here on earth as well as heaven.

Donations can be sent to Valley Bank to the Austin Gleich Memorial Fund for the education of his nieces and nephews.

    Austin is someone who was never mean or ill intended. He made every room he walked in to brighter. Im so sorry for the grief that the family is overwhelmed with. Austin is an angel. Been praying for him and i will continue to. I knew Austin roughly for 6 mos and he was such an incredible human being. Like above says this loss even though i only knew him a little over 6 mos made my heart break. I will miss his kind and gentle heart. RIP to a very amazing person.

    I’ll never forget the day you were riding on my handlebars and you fell off and I ran you over. Or any of our more recent interactions and the kindness and encouragement you offered me each and every time. Just weeks ago we made eye contact and offered a polite nod . Never knew that was the last I’d ever see of you. Rest easy buddy.
