August Francis Teirumniks

August "Augie" Francis Teirumniks passed away suddenly on August 24, 2025 in Orlando, FL. He was born in Indianapolis, IN on September 27, 1977. Augie is predeceased by his father, August, and survived by his loving mother, Mary, his sister, Christina, and his dog, Fluffybutt.

Augie was athletic in his youth, mastering the skateboard, playing basketball, and competing with his high school track team as a pole vaulter. He spent his less active time enjoying comic books, mystery novels, and perhaps surprisingly, an occasional Shakespeare work. He was especially drawn to the graphic novel, "The Crow," an image from which became his first tattoo when he turned 18.

Augie earned a bachelor's degree in Criminal Justice from Indiana University. He ultimately pursued a love of machines, obtaining a pilot's license and a mechanic's license. He lived in Japan for a short time studying the language and the fine art of drifting in fancy Japanese sports cars.

Augie was always a thrill seeker. He was an avid skydiver and base jumper. When asked why he would jump out of perfectly good airplanes, always replied "there's no such thing as a perfectly good airplane." He was a licensed parachute and reserve parachute packer, working for many years at various skydiving drop zones.

A Memorial Gathering for Augie will be held on Tuesday, September 16, 2025, from 2:30 to 4:30, at Flanner Buchanan - Oaklawn Memorial Gardens, 9700 Allisonville Road, Indianapolis, IN 46250.
