My prayers are with the entire family as we know you will miss him severely. I had the opportunity to work with Aaron when he was working in the Oak Cliff area of Dallas. He was a fine officer and friend

I was privileged to work with Aaron when we were assigned to the Special Enforcement (Holloway's Raiders) and he was a fine policeman and good friend. He was an outstanding pilot in Helicopter and was always helpful if we needed air support on crime problems. My prayers are with his family during this time of difficulty .
