Austin was born on February 9, 1997, in Dubuque, Iowa, son of Mark and Jean (Maiers) Gaul. He was a 2015 graduate of Western Dubuque High School in Epworth, Iowa.  Austin was a member of 4-H, and Future Farmers of America. He worked for Kluesner Construction Inc. in Farley, Bergfeld Trucking in Epworth, and also enjoyed working on his family farm.

Austin was a very kind hearted, giving, and hard-working person, who went out of his way to help others.  He would often pick up trucking routes to allow others to have time off with their family.  Austin loved to drive; if it had a steering wheel and a motor, he would drive it.  He especially loved driving his trucks and the farm equipment.   He enjoyed his Dodge Trucks, John Deere Tractors, and listening to hard rock music.

Those left to cherish his memory are his parents, Mark and Jean Gaul of Farley; two brothers, Brady and Carter Gaul both of Farley; paternal grandparents, LeRoy and Mary Jane Gaul of Dyersville; aunts and uncles, Dennis (Trisha) Gaul of Epworth, Sue (Gerardo) Chavez, and Pam Gaul both of Monterey, CA, Mary (Sam) Bran of Solon, Rose (Ed) Bracken of Iowa City, Jan (Doug) Brimeyer of Jackson, WY, and Carol (John) Eubank of Urbandale; and numerous cousins.

He is preceded in death by maternal grandparents, Leon and Harriet Maiers; one uncle, Terry “Flash” Gaul; and one aunt, Karen Gaul.
