I never knew Aaron, but from what I've read about him he was an awesome guy. I live at King and Spadina and walk through that intersection every day. I was there shortly after the accident happened early friday, and just wanted to express my sympathy for losing such a great person. Although I never knew him, every time I walk through that intersection I think of him now, and all the great friends and family he had who will miss him. My condolences to friends and family during this sad time.

Aaron was a bright star in the music scene. Such a talented and dedicated musician with an incredible amount of potential. I have shared a stage with Aaron numerous times over the past eight years or so, he had a larger than life personality behind the kit and great enthusiasm and appreciation toward fellow musicians. Aaron was someone very kind and special, who always had a way to make me feel like I was somebody special too. He was never one to just come up and say "hey", he always made a grand entrance. I will miss hearing him holler at me from across the room or across the street. Aaron had such a glowing presence, he will be greatly missed.
I am so sorry, Jyll and Carole, for your loss.
Sincerely, Sarah

It was late friday night when we saw a hitch hiker looking for a ride home.. I thought he looked like a traveler and it ended up that he was from Germany. Being the travel friendly people we are and looking to extend our Torontoian hand we picked him up. We got into an eye opening conversation about Aaron right away... Our new German friend had a heavy heart, it turns out he was just coming from a gathering with many of Aarons friends. Myself and my two friends didnt know Aaron at all but by coincidence we gave this nice Germany man a ride home and hope we helped his healing in one way or another.
My heart goes out to all his friends and family. Aarons life was stolen from him and i hope that even though it is a dark time that you can see past and remember him in a better light.

Ill always have memories of Beamish when we were kids in middle school, and all the mischief we would get into. We drifted over the years, but I always held Beamish in high regard, and would laugh when I thought about him and the funny things that would seemingly endlessly be coming out of his mouth. I still really can't believe what happened, and like Peter I will be thinking of Beamish for a long time to come. Carol, you're such a wonderful lady , and I can't imagine what you are going through. My heart goes out to you and everyone who Aaron's life touched.

For dear Jyll: I am so deeply saddened to know that you have lost your partner. What a terrible shock and loss for you, and for Aaron's family and friends. I never met Aaron but I'm sure you brought a lot of love and happiness into his life.
I send you my love and sympathy.

I didn't know Aaron well ... We recently met at SPiN. But even the first night we met, I put in a commendation to his manager. Still, he wasn't just sweet and gracious that night. Every time I saw Aaron, he was beaming and kind. I spoke with him the night before, and am in disbelief now. I may not share many memories of Aaron, but he's a very memorable guy. Such a tragedy. I'm sorry for your loss.

Carole ,my thought and prayers are with you.I will all remember Aaron on Roxborough! john gillies

I didn't know Aaron; I saw the notice in the paper. I offer my sincere condolence
to your family. Rest eternal grant to him O Lord and may perpetual light shine upon him, Amen.

In the short time I have known Aaron he made a huge impact on my life. He had the profound ability to brighten up any room he walked into. He went out of his way to be kind, generous and warm to everyone he met - and has inspired me to be more like this in my own life. There was something truly special and different about him and I wish I had gotten the chance to know him better. He will be missed. My thoughts are with his family and girlfriend.

Aaron was my first friend at my new school. We went to high school together and I would have sleepovers at his place when we were young. It's still tough to try to fathom the events unfolding. I'm going to be thinking about Aaron for a long, long time.

Dear Carole
I remember with great affection the times we spent together so long ago. Aaron was the catalyst that united us then. He was bright, energetic, imaginative and a source of such great pride and love. Yours was a relationship that Janice and I always regarded as perfect. I am so very sorry and so saddened by his loss.
