2001 – 2018

Austin Joseph Gallagher left us on April 17, 2018, in Kamloops, BC, at the young age of 17.

He is survived by his Mother, Kym Gallagher, his Siblings; Curtis Bowerbank, Alyssa Bowerbank & Cierra Gallagher. He is also survived by many family members; Grandparents, Aunts & Uncles, Cousins etc.

Austin was born in Langley, BC on March 8, 2001. Since August of 2003, he resided and grew up to be an amazing young man, in Kamloops, BC. Austin experienced a few different schools from Grade 3-11, and is well known throughout the city by many people. Austin has touched people’s lives wherever he went and therefore; has touched the lives of so many.

Austin’s most cherished times, were during the Summer Season, when he could spend his time at Gardom Lake Bible Camp. He has had a lot of great moments there over the last 6 years, with his younger Sister, Cierra. Austin spent 3 weeks last summer, as a Junior Staff member, at Gardom Lake and made some awesome memories. He was looking forward to attending again this Summer for his 7th year.

Austin’s Mom always enjoyed listening to the excitement in his voice as he replayed the events of his weeks at camp. She would like to express her gratitude to all the staff and campers at the camp for giving Austin the chance to experience and for helping him to continue growing in his relationship with God.

Austin was a bright and gifted young man, that had so much untapped potential to make a difference in this world. His family can only hope that while he was here, he was able to make a difference in the lives that he touched. The Journey that Austin had barely begun, ended far to soon. He will forever be missed and carried in the hearts of those who knew him.

A Bible verse that was important to Austin:

1 Corinthians 1:25-

For the foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than human strength.

*In lieu of flowers, an account will be set up for donations to Gardom Lake Bible Camp, as this would have been Austin’s wishes. There will also be a place on site to donate in person. https://registration.gardomlake.ca/secure/cr_front_donation.taf
