William Henry Walker 'Pete' Austin

October 5, 1948 - March 3, 2019

William 'Pete' Austin, age 70, passed away Sunday, March 3, 2019. He was born October 5, 1948 in Atlanta, GA to Mildred and Henry Austin. He married his best friend and love Mary Lynn Sutton in 1985, overlooking the beach where he fished so often growing up in Daytona Beach. Pete had a laugh that warmed every heart, and was never at a loss for stories to tell. His blog 'CanUCanIt' told of family, food and friendship, all near and dear to his heart. A former sportswriter, he enjoyed NASCAR, Florida Gators and Atlanta Braves. For many years Pete was a medical technologist in hospitals in both Florida and Georgia. He hoped to be a doctor, but gave it up to care for his parents. He lived 1 Thessalonians 5:11, encouraging others and building them up. A Sunday school teacher and Gideon, Pete lived his faith with a smile. Pete is survived by his brother and wife, Steve and Sherrie Austin, their two daughters and their spouses, Stephenie and Michael Dukes and Stacie and Matt Savage; stepson, Michael Allman and stepdaughter and husband, Kelly and Matthew Sharkey; grandchildren, Brandon, Christopher, Ashley and Kyle Hendrick, Daniel Sharkey, plus a great grandson, Xander Hendrick and mother-in-law, Irene Sobczak Sutton. Please join us in celebrating his life Wednesday March 6, 6-9pm, Scot Ward Funeral, 699 American Legion, Conyers, GA. In lieu of flowers, contributions to the family to help cover funeral expenses are appreciated. Condolences may be submitted on-line at www.scotward.com. Scot Ward Funeral Services, 699 American Legion Road, Conyers, GA 30012, 770-483-7216.
