Aaron was a person who always greeted you with a smile. He was always willing to lend a hand to those in need of help. A person you could depend upon in hard times as well as the good ones. He will be missed, However, he will never be forgotten by the people he came in touch with. All of us should be so blessed to have a friend such as Aaron. It was my honor to have known you my friend. Best wishies to his family during this difficult time.
