Austin Kevin Bembry Jr.

With profound sadness, we announce the passing of Austin Bembry, who left us far too soon on October 26, 2026, at the tender age of 16. Born on October 22, 2010, in Columbus, Ohio, Austin was a bright and spirited young soul whose light shone brightly in the lives of all who knew him.

Austin was the beloved son of Ashley Strain and Austin Bembry, who cherished every moment spent with their remarkable son. He was a dedicated student at Eastmoore Academy, where he was in the 10th grade, and was known for his keen intellect, particularly in the realms of computers and technology. His love for gaming was matched only by his fascination with cars and his gentle affection for animals, which he cared for with a tender heart.

Blessed with an innate ability to solve problems, Austin had a gift for fixing things. Whether it was a complex computer issue or a simple household repair, his family and friends could always rely on him to find a solution. His curiosity and persistence were admired by many, and his talents were a source of inspiration to those around him.

Austin's memory will forever be cherished by his parents, Ashley and Austin, and his siblings, Aaron Bembry, Akeylah Strain, and Aaliyah Glanton. His warmth, humor, and kindness left an indelible mark on their hearts, and his presence will be profoundly missed.

In honoring Austin's life, the family requests that in lieu of flowers, donations be made in his memory to a charity that supports animal welfare or youth technology programs, causes that were close to his heart.

As we gather to celebrate Austin's life, we remember the joy he brought into our world and the love he shared so generously. Though his time with us was short, his impact was immeasurable, and his legacy will live on in the smiles and laughter of all who knew and loved him.
