I have not seen Aaron in over 12 years, but remember him as peaceful and full of joy. Very sorry to have heard the news, and yet happy to see he lived an adventurous life through which his spirit touched so many. - Love and Respect

Aaron was a very special person
I regret that I had not seen or spoken to Aaron in over 5 years but will remember him fondly as a good friend and Fraternity brother. I will never forget when I first met Aaron... He strolled into Mrs McFall's 9th grade English Class at Gainesville High as the "new kid" from Iowa. We sat in alphabetical order back then so he was placed in the desk directly in front of me (Barnard,Booth...) We proceeded to hit it off and cause poor Mrs. McFall much grief throughout the year. Aaron was a very special person and will be greatly missed by all.

We send our love and care
John and Nathan, We send our love and care. May you be comforted, sometimes lifted, always surrounded by the knowledge of God's and Aaron's love returned to you in the healing presence and prayers of others. We're playing Joe Crookston on the CD for you John, and sending up our own prayerful tears over Aaron's death.

He was so special and loved
Our thoughts and prayers are with Rebecca, Terry and their entire family. I read all the wonderful achievements in Aaron's life and can see why he was so special and loved. I will miss meeting him in person and will look forward to sharing his wonderful memories with his family.

The Gift Of Family
Our love, prayers, and sympathy to John, Becky, and Nathan. The gift of family is so very special. The gift of love that you all gave to Aaron he obviously passed on to others. GOD IS LOVE and is with you all always. Jesus said, "I go to prepare a place for you, that where I am there you may be also." God's promises are true. God's love and peace are real. We love you all and remember you in prayer.
Prov. 17:17

A Special Day
Our hearts are broken. But we will look to Aaron's beautiful life for guidance and healing. Aaron married my husband Mike and I on May 30, 2003. It was a special day and we will never forget him for this gift. Be free, be strong and be you, Aaron. Forever our "anam cara."

He was always very positive
Aaron and I worked together at Labcon. He was always very positive. I would miss him when he went on vacation. But I looked forward to his stories and adventures when he came back. If he
was gone to long, I had to give him a big hug. He was gone a month once when he went to Costa Rica. He would tell me about his friends getting married and starting their families. This was awesome to him. I loved to watch him walk as he had such a stately manner about his walk and the way he held himself. He was more than a co-worker to me. He was family. I love you Aaron.

There will never be another like him...
A few years ago my husband and I were in San Fran for a wedding which Aaron was officiating (his first time). We stayed in his house in his room which he gave up for us. This was Aaron. He didn't just tell us the best places to go for food according to our dietary restrictions, better yet he took us there. He practiced his "speech" to wed his friends to his two other jet-lagged friends. I will never forget his fear and excitement and adrenaline over wanting to be the best he could be, yet wanting to make sure we were up for listening and helping him get through it. I will miss him.
His cheeks always flushed with happiness to me.
There will never be another like him...

Querido Amigo
Querido Amigo,
I always considered you much more than a business relationship. You were well known in our company for your warmth and sympathy. We always referred to you as a very special person (actually, our favorite contact!!!) and we are feeling very sad that you are not with us any more.
I pray that your family and friends receive comfort to their grief.
Descansa en paz, Aaron.
PS. I will miss so much our jokes about your spanish and my english!

1 Hour After Meeting Him I Knew He Would Be A Friend
First he was a customer, but all of about 1 hour after meeting him I knew he would be a friend. Aaron was one of those few people you meet in life that you just want to be around; to try and absorb some of the positive energy they give off. Sometimes it seems rare to meet them and even sadder to lose them. He left us all better people for knowing him.
