Obituary
Austin H. Hellman, 24, of Tiskilwa,
passed away on Sunday, December 22, 2019 from
injuries sustained in an auto accident.
He was born on February 26, 1995 in Corning, NY, to
Linn and Lorita (Shirley) Hellman. Austin attended
Princeton schools and graduated from Princeton High
School in 2013. He then moved on to Lincoln College,
where he was a member of the golf team, graduating
in 2015.
Austin was a bright light to those his life touched,
with a giving and humble heart, infectious smile,
and generosity of spirit that set him apart in our
world. That light grew even brighter from the day he
met the love of his life, Libbie Wamhoff. Together,
they built a home and life that radiated his best
qualities. He had a passion for the outdoors, with
time spent on the water, in the woods, and in the
duck blind serving as the backdrop for many favorite
memories with his family and best friends. His
commitment to a job well done was on display in any
task he undertook, whether for a friend, his family,
on the job at C&C Electric, or for himself (if he
managed to get to those…everyone else usually came
first). He was everything you could want in a son,
brother, partner, and friend.
He is survived by his parents, Linn and Lorita
Hellman, of Princeton; his brother, Adam Hellman, of
Cape Girardeau, MO; and his girlfriend and partner
in life, Libbie Wamhoff, of Tiskilwa. He also leaves
his maternal grandparents, James and Joyce Shirley,
of Emden; paternal grandmother, Loretta Hellman, of
Emden; many loving aunts, uncles, and cousins,
several dear friends, and his most loyal and
inexhaustible companion, his red heeler, Maggie.
Austin is preceded in death by his paternal
grandfather, Norman Hellman, and uncle and aunt,
Gary and Marla Shirley. |
Memorials may be directed to the Princeton
Park District or the Evangelical Covenant Church in
Princeton in Austins honor.
A visitation will be held Friday, January 3, 2019 from 4:00
p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at the Evangelical Covenant Church in
Princeton.
Services for Austin will be held on Saturday, January 4,
2019 at 10:30 a.m. at the Evangelical Covenant Church in
Princeton, officiated by Pastor Derek Boggs. There will be
an additional hour of visitation preceding the service,
beginning at 9:30 a.m. at the church the day of Austin
services.
