Austin L. Hill, age 26, passed away unexpectedly, Saturday, April 1, 2023.

Austin was born in Southfield, MI, on September 23, 1996.

Austin had a sense of creativity that matched his personality. He was passionate about skating and doodling, sharing those talents freely by participating in skate camps for youth and doodling with his nieces and nephews during family gatherings. Austin referred to his doodles as "Weirdos", believing that it was the weirdness in a person that made them unique and interesting. He was accepting of everyone and understood that people are more than what you see on the outside. Although his outside was most often covered in his preferred well-worn t-shirt, khakis, and a pair of skate shoes, he was full of love for his family and friends on the inside.

Austin was the beloved son of Beth and the late John Hill; cherished brother of Nevin Hill (Jennifer), Justin Hill (Angela), Brian Hill (Katie), Emily Morris (James), and Alysse Hill (Joshua); and dearest uncle to many nieces and nephews.

A funeral service for Austin will be held Thursday, April 6, at 7 pm at the funeral home, where the Hill family will greet friends beginning at 5 pm.
