It is with deep sorrow that JCA mourns the passing of Austin Heyman, a beloved figure and dedicated advocate for the seniors and youth of Montgomery County. Austin's profound impact on our community, from his founding of JCA's Interages to his visionary leadership in shaping senior services and intergenerational programs, leaves an indelible mark on our hearts and minds. His unwavering commitment to public service, exemplified through his extensive career in federal government administration and his instrumental role in county initiatives, will be remembered as a testament to his selflessness and dedication to making our world a better place. His family shared that even through his last days and hours, he remained incredibly engaged with his family, friends, and community โ even testifying virtually last week on behalf of seniors at a Montgomery County Council budget hearing.
