Austin Beatty Obituary | Dec 30, 2024 | Nacogdoches, TX

Austin James Beatty, age 21, of Alto, Texas passed away on December 30th 2024 surrounded by his family after a brave 4 ½ year battle against Osteosarcoma.

Austin was born on April 25th 2003 in Colorado Springs, Colorado. He graduated High School from Springs Studio for Academic Excellence in 2021 and played football at Falcon High School in Colorado. He played positions at corner, safety, and kicker wearing his #19. He loved football and the Denver Broncos was his favorite team. He also loved driving his Corvette and racing autocross.

He moved to Alto, Texas with his family in 2023. He enjoyed fishing, gardening, driving his side by side, and swinging on the porch with his dogs Bubba and Blu. Austin loved his family and we loved him. He enjoyed each day to its fullest with his family. He enjoyed a sweet friendship with his sister KiKi and enjoyed his adventures with her.

Austin had a way of making people smile and he knew how to live in the moment. He always believed “Tough times don’t last but tough people do” and he was one of the toughest people we have ever met. The greatest gift and legacy he leaves us with is to love with all of your heart and live every minute to the fullest.

Austin is survived by his father Eric Beatty, his mother Christine Beatty, and his younger sister Kimberly (KiKi) Beatty; his paternal grandparents James and Chyrle Beatty; his maternal grandparents John and Carol Bartelson; his uncle Jim Bartelson, his uncle John and aunt Delinda Beatty; and cousins Curtis and Christopher Beatty; and many extended family and dear friends who love him.

Austin soul food staple Hoover’s Cooking to close after nearly 30 years

AUSTIN, Texas — Austin’s east side culinary legend Hoover Alexander is retiring after 50 years, closing all services at his iconic restaurant Hoover’s Cooking on May 31.

While the Manor Road soul food spot is ending its sit down dining service, it will still book private events through the summer.

The restaurant blends Alexander’s culinary expertise in southern, Tex-Mex, cajun food and barbecue. The fifth-generation Texan and native Austinite first opened Hoover’s Cooking in 1998. His passion for farm-to-table cooking later led him to open a food trailer focused on fresh food and promoting urban gardens and balanced eating.

Hoover’s is hosting a Juneteenth week bash on June 15 to celebrate Alexander’s legacy.
