Brunkhorst

Austin Roy Brunkhorst, born January 20, 2021, passed away on Wednesday, April 28, 2021.

Austin is survived by his loving parents, Jacob and Samantha Brunkhorst; his sister, Hadley Brunkhorst; grandparents, Kevin and Julie Brunkhorst and Gary and Susan Dunakey; great grandparents, Roy and Estelle Brunkhorst, Carol Cates and Barbara Harvey. He was nephew to Ryan and Courtney Brunkhorst, Violet Brunkhorst, and Zachary Dunakey.

Although he was only with his family for a short time, he was loved by all and will forever hold a special place in our hearts. He was learning to recognize the faces of people he knew. He also was developing a cute dimpled grin, that would have gotten him out of all kinds of mischief as he grew up. We will forever ask why he was taken from this earth so soon. We will keep him with us always, knowing that he was loved and cherished each and everyday of his life.

Funeral arrangements for Austin are through Martin Funeral Home in Warrenton, MO. He will be laid to rest in a private ceremony in Holstein, MO., at the Immanuel United Church of Christ. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions can be made to the Brunkhorst family, c/o Martin Funeral Home, 510 East Main Street, Warrenton, MO 63383, to support the family expenses during this trying time. A GoFundMe page has also been set up in Austin's name.
