Funeral services for Austin Reed Hamm, 28, of Marion will be held at 2:00 p.m., Wednesday, April 21, 2021 at Farrar Funeral Home Chapel with Bro. Aleck Nyegaard officiating.  Interment will follow in Reppond Cemetery, near Marion, under the direction of Farrar Funeral Home in Farmerville.

Austin Reed Hamm was born March 30, 1993 and met Jesus April 14, 2021.  Just as he took his first breath before his time, he took his last breath well before his time.

Austin was a very proud Pipeliner with Local Labor Union 295 since 2010.  He loved what he did for a living and was good at it.  He always gave, as he put it, 110% into everything.  He felt blessed to be able to travel all over the United States.  It didn't matter where he was, he blended in like he had always been there.

If you were ever lucky enough to meet Austin, even just one time, you knew you had a friend for life.  He would always say "A smile can change the world."  He was most famous for his hugs.  Austin never just hugged, he squeezed and you felt his heart and his love.

He will be dearly missed by his parents, Andy & Tammie Reppond, his brother, Jared McColloch, his cousin whom he always claimed was his little sister, Samantha Wilkinson, his best friend that he proudly called his brother, Wesley Roe, Aunt & Uncle Tom & Mary McColloch, Aunt Jennifer McColloch, and of course his dear side kick, dog Bella, along with many more family and friends, too many to count.  He will now be dancing in Heaven with the love of his life, Bridget Tucker.

Pallbearers will be Jared McColloch, Russell Roberson, Wesley Roe, Justin Foster, Levi Pitts and Taylor Perry.

Visitation will be from 5:30 p.m. ~ 8:00 p.m., Tuesday, April 20, 2021 at Farrar Funeral Home Chapel in Farmerville.
