Austin Sutton-Rogers Obituary

Austin Bryan Sutton-Rogers was given to us on Nov. 6, 1997 and we entrusted him back our Heavenly Father on April 9, 2014. He was 16 years old.

Austin was a special young man to his family and friends, and the number of lives he was able to positively impact and touch in such a short amount of time with us here is staggering. He is survived by his father Thomas Sutton, his "Honey," Paula McLaney, and countless others who loved him beyond the scope of words.

The family wants to thank everyone all for your thoughts and prayers through this difficult time.

Services will be held at Milligan Assembly of God Sunday, April 13. Visitation for friends and family will begin at 1 p.m., followed by services at 2 p.m. with Rev. Mike White and Rev. Donnie Cadenhead. Burial will follow in the Svea Cemetery. Services were provided by Brackney Funeral Service, Crestview.

The family is accepting flowers and if you'd like to make a donation, they ask that you give in Austin's name to the Jason Foundation for the prevention of youth suicide (www.jasonfoundation.com).

Austin, you were one of my bestfriends. I loved your personality, the fact that you always made sure I was okay when I moved. You were probably the only one who kept in contact with Me. It broke my heart when I find out what happened. I wish I could have been there for you, like you were for me. You always said you could bench me cause I'm no bigger than the weights you use when you wanted to cheer me up. Because of you, Austin, I made it through more than ever. I love you, I miss you. Fly high.

Rusty & Paula,

Just want you both to know, I have Austin's picture on my desk. Today, I wanted to let you both know I think about what you both are going through facing life without him. You both as well as the rest of the family. The song, "I Can Only Imagine" fits this as much as I can to express how you all must feel right now and in the days to come. Just remember, God is our inner peace, and the best friend we can have in these times!! I just wish more folks knew that like you both do!!

I will continue remembering you in my thoughts and prayers everyday!!

God Bless and Hugs from a friend,
Debra Childs Henderson
