Austin Xavier Mahon

Austin Xavier Mahon, formerly of Hingham and Winchester, passed away peacefully on March 7 at the age of 66 at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, surrounded by his family after a courageous one-year battle with kidney cancer.

Austin built a successful career in the medical field, first working with cardiac devices and later recruiting top medical professionals for hospitals across the country. Above all, he was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, and brother whose greatest joy was spending time with his family. He loved the beach, basking in the sun, enjoying the occasional cigar, following the New York Yankees, and gathering with loved ones. Known for his quick wit and playful pranks, Austin had a legendary sense of humor and delighted in making others laugh. To his grandchildren, he was lovingly known as “Ace.”

He is survived by his beloved wife of 22 years, Kerry; his five children, Carter, Aimee, Emma, Meghan, and Hudson; six grandchildren; and his brothers, Tim, John, and Colin. He was predeceased by his parents, Ann and John.
