Austin Pettit

WFIT mourns the loss of local music legend Austin Pettit who passed away quietly with his family by his side on January 24.

Honoring the wishes of the Austin Pettit Family, there will be a CELEBRATION OF LIFE in memory of legendary guitarist Austin Pettit on Saturday, February 7th, from 1-5pm at the Cocoa Beach Country Club Pavilion (off Minutemen Cowy). Please bring your coolers, BYOB. Food available. The Groove Shoes, the last of many great bands Austin played with, will perform and feature some special guests. At 5:47 (sunset) the family will gather on the beach for a prayer.

In lieu of flowers donations may be made to Earth Awareness to buy guitars for elementary schools. This was Austin's wish. www.earthawareness.org
