'I could die doing what I love, but I could also die never having really lived.  To me, that would have been a far greater tragedy.'  - Jay Austin


Jay really lived .. up until the very moment he was intentionally brutally murdered in a terrorist attack while cycling the world.  

Jay lost his life simply because he was an American.


May 1st, 1989 - July 29th, 2018
