My deepest sympathy to Aaron's family, he was a very special, funny guy who i enjoyed the pleasure of knowing. He's going to definitely be missed by myself and a lot of other people because he was a true blue friend to all who knew him. The bible says "a good name is better than good oil" and Aaron surely had a great name because he had a big heart!!!!! I'll miss u my friend
