Support Austin's Final Wish - Donate in his Memory

Donation protected
On September 18th, 2024, our brother Austin Plagge tragically passed away. Austin was the most incredible brother, son, uncle, friend, and someone who could bring a calming presence to any situation. He brought love and joy to everyone who was lucky enough to know him.

Austin loved life in Colorado and felt the most at peace in the mountains. He enjoyed traveling and sightseeing with his beloved dog, Raku.

Austin's true passion was rooted in helping others. He had recently completed his Master's Degree in Business Administration at the University of Colorado so he could pursue a leadership role guiding others on the path to recovery, a mission that was very close to his heart based on his own experience with addiction. In his short time on earth, Austin fought so hard and accomplished so much. We know that he touched the lives of countless people. He always had a way of knowing what was most important in life and loved to share meaningful quotes and words of wisdom.

As Austin's friends and family, we are coming together to create this GoFundMe not only to help with Austin's funeral expenses but to do something that we believe would be Austin's final wish: to help others struggling with addiction. ALL funds will be split between funeral expenses and a charity involved with recovery, specific charity yet to be determined. Thank you for your support during this unthinkable loss and please share your memories of Austin!
