I knew Aaron in our teens in a program called Upward Bound. He was very close to a guy named Jalil. I was in his circle and thought he was the funniest person I had ever met. Once he stole the remote for a VCR we would watch in class and use it sparingly (like just hitting rewind) which infuriated the teacher. He wouldn't over-do it, but we (the students) all knew and would roll as the teacher couldn't figure out the broken machine. He could sometimes find the perfect word in otherwise boring situations, like referring to a counselor (when not in her presence) by her toes, or once getting pummeled on the basketball courts and proclaiming "too much girth!" In his hilarious voice he would do. We took french together and for the final musical presentation we sang so loud and out of tune that the poor teacher tried to turn up the music to drown us out, which of course we just sang louder. I really wish I would have kept in touch with him and am devastated to hear that he left us so soon. Rest in peace man, you made the world better.

Aaron was a great person and though it has been 5 years, I think of him from time to time and wonder what he would be doing now. Probably still taking care of his brothers in Iraq. Thats just how Aaron was. To his family: God Bless you and keep you.

For Aaron's Parents,
I just came across the remembrance for Aaron in yesterday's paper. I did not know him, but reading about him here makes me wish I had. He sounds like a wonderful person with great energy.
I'm one of those folks who loves to celebrate birthdays (still, with my 45th soon approaching) and I love that Aaron's was remembered yesterday. Since it just caught my eye this morning, I will be carrying on the birthday celebration for him today. I'll add him to my "birthday book" and celebrate him each year from now on.
The world was lucky to have him here and the folks who had the pleasure to know him were truly blessed, indeed. He will be celebrated and remembered.

To Mr and Mrs Kent,
I know it has been over three years since Aaron passed and I am sure the pain still remains. I did not know of this web site back then or I would have written sooner.
I did not know Aaron but have some dear friends who had the privledge. I recently went to my friends retirement in Camp Lejune and then to his home. On the wall of his annex is a piture of Aaron and his stepson together in Afganistan. I sat and listen to some stories of him, I am sure he was a great man. I guess I am writing now to let you know that people do remember him and think of him often. A flag was raised in his honor at Camp Lejune on the anniversary of his death. I have read the previous entries and I hope that you find some comfort, in that people who you do not know or will ever meet thought so much of Aaron, to let you know how much they thought of him. Warriors and people in the military have strong personal bonds that death can not break. I hope you find peace. I will keep Aaron and you in my thoughts.
Respectfully,
Brad

Holding you all in my thoughts and prayers today.
The Wind on The Downs
“I like to think of you as brown and tall,
As strong and living as you used to be,
In khaki tunic, Sam Brown belt and all,
And standing there and laughing down at me.
Because they tell me, dear, that you are dead,
Because I can no longer see your face,
You have not died, it is not true, instead
You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe;
I hear you laughing as you used to do,
Yet loving all the things I think of you;
And knowing you are happy, should I grieve?
You follow and are watchful where I go.”
(Written by Marian Allen during World War l )
Two lines that I wish you to keep near your heart…….
“You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe”
I did not know Aaron, but I am remembering on
this day he gave his all.
He is my hero.
Rest in peace ~ Devil Doc

There is nothing that I can say or do to take away the pain or bring you peace in your time of sorrow, but I will offer you and your family my heart felt condolences. I also offer you my prayers that in time the pain will easy and the memories of your HERO will carry you through each day and night. I want to thank your HERO, for his/her selfless act of becoming a member of the armed forces, his/her willingness to defend the United States of America, all that we hold sacred and for the sacrifice that will forever be etched in the memories of all those who knew him/her. Though tears can never bring him/her back, we hope that our tears express our gratitude for the sacrifice that he/she made and our sorrow at his/her passing. I believe for every fallen HERO there is a star shining brightly up above to remind us of the precious gift we were given.
Your mission on earth is complete and you are now a member of GOD’s Heavenly armed forces. Stand down brave warrior and take your rightful place in Heaven with all the HEROES who have passed before.
I made a special promise to LE RON A. WILSON, a dear family friend who joined the Army with three other friends, one of whom is my son (Le Ron was killed in action on 07/06/07 at the age of 18) on the day he was laid to rest as I touched his coffin, that I would never forget him nor would I forget those that gave their lives for our country before him, with him and after him and so when I came across www.legacy.com, I thought what a great way to keep my promise to Le Ron, so I will continue to leave tributes in each guest book until the day there is no longer the need to leave these tributes to a FALLEN HERO.
REST IN PEACE, HERO, YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN!!

To All Parents
“I’ll lend you for a little time a child of Mine,” He said.
“For you to love the While he lives and mourn for when he’s dead.
It may be six or seven years, or 22 or three,
But will you, till I call him back, take care of him for me?
He’ll bring his charms to gladden you, and shall his stay be brief.
You’ll have his lovely memories as solace and relief.
“I cannot promise he will stay, since all from earth return,
But there are some lessons taught down there I want this child to learn.
I’ve looked the wide world over in my search for teachers true
And from the throngs that crowd life’s lanes I have selected you.
Now will you give him all your love, nor think the labor vain,
Nor hate Me when I come to take him back again?”
For all the joy Thy child shall bring, the risk of grief we’ll run.
We’ll shelter him with tenderness, we’ll love him while we may
And for the happiness we’ve known forever grateful stay;
But shall the angels call for him much sooner than we’ve planned.
We’ll brave the bitter grief that comes and try to understand.”

To the Family and Friends of this Soldier:
I will stand in grief with this soldier's family to honor him. For every fallen HERO there is a bright star that shines in the evening sky to remind us of the cherished gift we were given – even if for too short a time.
My heart breaks again as I sign yet another guest book of another courageous young soldier who gave their life so selflessly. I wish I never found myself in a position to have to sign another guestbook for the rest of my life, but I promised Brent that neither he nor any like him would be forgotten and so I will continue until the day there is no longer the need.
We lost our son SFC Brent A. Adams on 12/1/05 and it seems like yesterday. I wish so badly there were things I could say to you right now to make the pain you are feeling go away, but I know first hand there simply are no words that will bring you the comfort and peace your heart aches for. Just know that you are not alone. My heart, thoughts, and prayers are with you all as you go through this tragedy moment by moment and as you mourn this loss.
We don't know each other, will probably never meet, but will forever be united in the loss of our Heroes. We have, unfortunately joined a group none of us wanted to join, an ever-growing group of families in this situation. May God grant you peace and strength to get through this and be able once again to smile at a memory rather than have only the tears that flow so easily now. To be so proud of your loved one and so saddened at the same time is a mix of emotions very difficult to deal with as our hearts both burst with pride and pain together.
I am sorry that I never knew your soldier personally. While they can never be replaced, neither will they ever be forgotten. You must trust that sometime, someday the loving memories you have will help to sustain you and help you go on. This courageous soldier will forever be your Angel watching over you all for the rest of your lives. It's what brings me some measure of peace and comfort and I hope it will you as well.
To his family and friends in pain, I offer this comfort: When you find yourself in that dark sorrowful place, think not only of how you will miss him, but instead recall the years, days, hours and minutes gifted to you by his presence. The one thing that cannot be taken from you is your wonderful memories that now will mean more than ever.
If you ever want to talk, I'm only an e:mail away and would love for you to tell me more about your Hero.
God Bless this soldier and family who gave all and God Bless legacy.com for setting up this site where families can so quickly share their condolences and prayers with others like themselves.

Please know that you are my hero and you will NEVER be forgotten.
I send each of you a hug from the most inner part of my heart.

To the Kent family:
My name is HM3 Lee and I am grateful that I met such a unique individual. I was in 1/6 with your son. Aaron and I were roommates for a couple of months and as I sit here typing this, all I can do is smile and laugh to myself. Your son was a very funny man. There were times he use to wake me up at 2AM asking if I wanted a fish sanwich. Other times he made me watch his old high school football games and his high school news reports(haha, I never knew he had soo much hair). He would always talk about his family and how he loved that hot tub you have ;). I remember he use to always show me that picture of his sister's kid and how proud he was to be an uncle. Every weekend would be an adventure for him. I remember the most funniest stories about taxi cabs and other things(=P). I know that he had a very loving home and a great family that supported him. I have so many stories about that man, that still to this day make me smile.
I wished that I could of attended the funeral with the other Corpsman that were there. I still think about Aaron alot and well when I do I laugh because thats what he did, he would cheer people up. No matter what we were doing he had a natural talent of putting a smile on people's faces.
I apologize for not getting a hold of you sooner, but I just didn't know what to say. Aaron was one of a kind and I am grateful that I did get to meet your beloved son.
Respectfully,

I am very sorry to hear of this loss. My husband was a machine gunner in 1/6 Weapons Company. My husband and I spent many nights hanging out with Aaron. When my Husband had his 23rd birthday, Aaron was the only one here (he did not go on leave) and he spent my husband birthday with him. I will never forget that night. It was a very excited night as they all were when he was around. Aaron was a very kind hearted man and a great friend. He was also so funny and he was a great joy to be around. My husband and I enjoyed the time that we spent with him. He was not only a great friend of my husband but of mine too. He is going to be missed by many and a lot of hearts are sad.

To Aarons parents from another parent. My 18 year old son wants to be a Navy Corpsman assigned to his beloved Marines. When I read about Aaron and saw the pictures in his tribute, I was shocked as he sounds and looks a lot like my son. I only say this to let you know as a father how touched I was reading about Aaron and how fearful I am for my son. It makes my heart ache to see our best standing up for the rest of us. I want badly to be able to say something meaningful but know that is impossible and sound presumptuous . I hope that the fact that I care deeply is enough. Deep personal regards for Aaron and his parents.

Hello,
My name is HM3 Rubio; I was Kent's Senior Corpsman in Weapons Company for about 18 months and was his friend when he first came to 1/6. I Selected Aaron to come to my company out of few other Corpsman from our BAS. We grew pretty close over the time spent we would always go party out in J'Ville(Not fun), but Aaron always made it interesting. We had a "Libo" group set and it was all the "Boy's" Aaron myself and a few of our Marines. Crazy, Crazy times thank's to Aaron, We had fun traveling together especially in Spain and Malta. I was deeply hurt when the boy's all called and told me what happened, I know your loss causes you deep pain but know that Aaron effected all who knew him. All the boy's cried with you from California to Iraq we will always remember the times we've shared together from Living it up in Spain to suffering in Afghanistan, Aaron will always be Our friend and "Doc" to his Marines. On behalf of all those who cannot get a a chance to write; I want to say Rest in Peace brother you will always be in our hearts...

Hello
My son is in the 1/6 and H&S Co. I just wanted you know how sorry we were to hear about your son. It has to be a terible thing for any parent to go thourgh. I would give anything to bring them back. I just try to remember how great and proud we are for what they are doing and have done for us. My son had a best friend that was in the humvee your son was in. I know it really upset all of soldiers when this happened. I will have you in my prayers daily. I wish I could take some of the pain away that you are feeling. The marines were so lucky to have your son there to help any of the injured. We are very appreciative and give you all of are sympathy.

My heart goes out to you in your time of hardship. My son Cpl Michael Donnell who served with Aaron last year on the USS Wasp was a friend of his and said he was a great person. He took it very hard. You raised a son who
helped many and was an outstanding
young man. You should be very proud of him and yourselves for making him what he grew into! May God give you the peace and understanding to make it through this very difficult time. I look forward to meeting you when the troops return. God bless you.

I am so sorry that Aaron has passed away and his family and friends are trying to fill the emptiness they feel in their heart. This is always so hard. Aaron sounded like he was valued and respected by the Marines he was taking care of. I know that he did important work last year in Afghanistan. I am sure he was going to continue to do important work in Iraq. I will continue to pray for Aaron's family and for his Marines that he left in Iraq. -Proud Marine Mom

To the Kent family:
As a retired Hospital Corpsman who served with the Marines in Vietnam, I know all to well the duties and responsibilities your son had. The members of the Marine unit he was assigned to trusted their lives to your son and they knew that "doc" would take care of them. I am certain he served them well and they too are saddened by his death. While much is said about the war and all the death and destruction, little is said about those whose only duty is to tend to the sick and injured. The grief and sorrow you feel is shared by many of us who served before Aaron. I hope that you can take some comfort in knowing that your son guarded the sanctity of life and was not in the role of taking life. That prior to his death, his actions of tending to the wounded undoubtedly prevented other parents from experiencing a similar loss. God Bless You.

I grew up across the street from Aaron and Mitchell when they lived on Winchell St. Aaron was my little buddy when I was young. I regret not keeping in touch and not knowing Aaron as an adult. He was a cool little kid and from what I heard an even better adult. I will always miss you Aaron, and you will always have a place in my heart. Thanks for everything you did for everyone of us who ever met you. You were definitly something special. REST IN PEACE AARON KENT. We will never forget you.

To the Kent Family,
My deepest regards to all of you. Aaron was a classmate with me at RHS. Like everyone said at his services, Aaron had a gift of making people laugh and I too had the honor to be one of the ones Aaron made laugh. Aaron, you will be missed very much. May you rest in peace.

To the family of Doc Kent... Know that Marines around the world regard their Corpsmen with the greatest respect and honor. Our Corpsmen give thier lives so that we may live and survive, they repair our bodies when injured, they seek out measures to bring us to recovery when we are ill, they give and continue to give as does Doc Kent, even now he brings us healing... thank you!

I am sorry to hear about Aaron. We all look forward to the time when death will be no more. (Rev 21:4) I look forward to seeing Aaron in the resurrection. May the God of comfort bring peace and comfort to your family in this time of need.
