Yesterday afternoon, at the Rundlelawn Diamonds in Calgary, our community came together in a way that words can barely capture. On behalf of Crystal Wyatt (Owen Landine) Sam Wyatt, Cody Wyatt, and Laura Wyatt, the family extends their deepest gratitude to every single person who came out to honour Austin Shields.
Your presence, your compassion, and your shared memories meant more than you may ever know.
A special thank‑you is also extended to Adam Smith — Sunridge Little League Alumni, former DA and UIC, and current District Administrator for District 3. Your support, leadership, and long‑standing connection to the Wyatt family have been instrumental in shaping the legacy that has grown across both the league and the district over the years.
The impact of the Wyatt name has been felt in countless ways — through mentorship, community building, and the spirit of baseball that has touched so many young athletes.
Yesterday, people came HOME.
People came to say goodbye.
But more importantly, family stood together, as family always does — in strength, in love, and in unwavering support, no matter the circumstance.
From those who gathered at the diamond, to the overwhelming number of condolences shared across the District’s Facebook and Instagram pages — collectively nearing 100,000 engagements — the outpouring of love for Austin has been profound. It is a testament to the lives he touched and the community that surrounds the Wyatt family.
Rest in Peace, Austin. May you be at peace, and may you watch over your mother, your family, and your friends. Your memory will continue to live on in every heart you’ve reached and every field you’ve ever stepped on.
In addition we will be asking all Fall Ball Teams (optional) to dedicate the first pitch in Austin’s name and memory
