Austin Allan Giudici of King City, CA, passed away on Sunday, July 31, 2016. Austin was born in Monterey, CA on September 26, 1994, raised in King City and was 21 years young.

Even as a young child, Austin could always be counted on to be there to lend a helping hand. Austin had a knack for anticipating when others needed help with anything, often offering before ever being asked. His was a gentle and generous heart - very loving, caring and giving - a gift he learned from his mother. He also had such a beautiful and loving soul and was a true protector and peacemaker. His presence brought a sense of peace and joy to those around him.

Austin was extremely respectful, polite and well-mannered, very intelligent, an avid video game player, loved the outdoors and hanging out with friends. He had very special memories hunting together with family and close friends at the family's ranch, camping and boating at San Antonio Lake and Nacimiento Lake and spending time at his grandparent's home in Arkansas. Austin had a gift and special connection with animals, especially his dogs Porky, Rascal and Little Rascal JR. He was a huge San Francisco 49er and Giants fan and loved to attend their games at Candlestick Park and, more recently, Levi Stadium and AT&T Park. He also loved to BBQ using his special basting sauce he learned to make from his Papa Allan. His friends and family could always count on him to have a jar of basting on-hand and BBQ for them.

Austin was a devoted son, grandson, brother, uncle, cousin, nephew, friend and loved one. He loved his family and friends with every ounce of his being and they loved him. He especially enjoyed spending time together with his older sister, Aubree, and his two nieces and his nephew. Austin had a childlike kindness and gave the best hugs. His friends and family will always cherish the time they spent together and special memories they made with him. Knowing he received Christ into his heart, we all look forward to when we will see him again in spirit for eternity.

Austin is survived by his mother, Stephanie Scarborough Giudici, his father and stepmother, James and Adriana Giudici, grandparents Oris and Carol Scarborough, his sisters Aubree and Paulette, his brothers Zachery, Francisco and Blake, his nieces Teagan and Anaiya, his nephew Jasiah, their father Dustin and numerous aunts, uncles, cousins and extended family. He was preceded in death by his paternal grandparents, Allan (Papa) and Mary Jane (Nana) Giudici.
