Aaron was a visiting Angel who was called back home. Every life has a purpose and Aaron touched the lives of many with his gentle spirit of love. He is surely bound up in the arms of our loving G-d. Miss by all of his family.

Chris, Rick, family and friends of Aaron we were so sorry to hear of your loss. We had the pleasure of living next door to Aaron and his mom when Aaron was a young boy. My son and him played together daily, and his mother and myself were good friends as well. Unfortunately when we moved away we also lost contact with Chris and Aaron. Our deepest sympathies go out to his family and friends. Robin & Jake.

To Aaron and his family: I am so sad and sorry to hear of your loss. I give my deepest condolences and look back on the days I knew Aaron. He was a great classmate and friend to us all during the short time I knew him. I met Aaron back in Mrs. Hamilton's homeroom class in the 6th grade at Woodward Park Middle School up until Freshman year at Northland High. I was always laughing at his jokes and could always count on a good sense of humor during class. Especially with his most honest and up front but hilarious answers! He always knew how to make people smile and was helpful and friendly to everyone. Heaven welcomed a brighter piece of sunshine and as we look back, we will always remember and laugh at the days knowing Aaron.

We love you Aaron

Dear Family, my sincerest sympathy is extended to you on this hard day. I have known Aaron since middle school. We have shared memories, laughs, football games and countless hours with friends together. He was a great person, charming and witty. He always knew how to make us laugh. Calculus was fun because of him. Please know that he will not be forgotten. He holds a special place in many of the Northland students and he will be greatly missed. Stay strong and know that he is watching us today, with that same warm smile today.

Chris, and family..May GOD bless and watch over you as you heal. Though far too young, Aaron is in a better place. He is with the LORD, whole and lovingly watching over his loved ones (mommy!) those gorgeous eyes. He will be your angel and strength.

Dear Aaron,
Your place and importance in this generation will not be overlooked and you will never be forgotten. Your mission here and the many lives you touched will resonate always. You touched our hearts and lives as an infant, a toddler, and on into your early grade school days. Being with you was always special. Your spirit was joyful and you touched everyone with your endearing ways. Your mother’s and father’s hearts are now broken but you have left them with beautiful memories of you. Memories that they can always be proud of and will cherish in their hearts. You will be able to watch all who love you from on high as we struggle through life missing you. As brief as it was, thank you for being in our life.
With heartfelt sympathy to your parents, grandparents, and all your family and friends,
Great Aunt Harriet & Great Uncle Les

Lifes poem:
I'd like the memory of me
to be a happy one,
I'd like to leave an afterglow
of smiles when life is done.
I'd like to leave and echo
whispering down the ways,
Of happy times and laughing
times and bright and sunny days.
I'd like the tears of those who
grieve, to dry before the sun
Of happy memories that I leave
When life is done

Our nephew was a fun loving young man. Anytime we were with Aaron, he would tell each and every one of us individually that we were his favorite. Without a doubt, I know that he said that to all his relatives. That was his way of showing us that he loved his whole family. Aaron you were a beautiful baby, a playful boy, a handsome young man and a heroic soldier. Your Grandparents, 22 Great Uncles and Aunts, 12 Uncles and Aunts, 17 cousins, and 33 second cousins along with your father, stepmother, 2 step sisters, 2 step nieces from the Miller and Andrews family will always remember what a wonderful wonderful person you were. We will all have loving memories of you our favorite grandson, nephew, cousin, son, step son, and step brother.
In Loving Memory
Grandpa Miller, your favorite
Aunt Margaret, your favorite
Aunt Karen, your favorite
Aunt Sharon, your favorite
Aunt Barbara, your favorite
Aunt Harriet, your favorite
Uncle Bob, your favorite
and your loving father, Rick

Aaron shared a very special time in my daughters life during high school. He was such a special child of God, though I often wondered if he truly understood the impact he made on others. People come into our lives and mark our souls, whether it is because we find them spiritual, mindful, or just feel their physical presence. They mark our souls... that is what Aaron did to me. There was so much orneriness in him, but also so much will to do what was right. I have been blessed in knowing this young soul. I have no doubt he is surrounded by angels and all those who have passed before him. My heartfelt condolences to his Mother, his best friends Joe and Andy... and all of us whohave been blessed in knowing him. RIP Aaron, you are among some of the finest people as you find your place of rest. Much love, Mrs. Jones

My deepest sympathies go out to you. I have memories of Aaron since we met him back at Storytime Day Care. My daughter Jennifer and Aaron share the same birthday & this past year, when Aaron was deployed, he even was able to call Jennifer & say "Happy Birthday!" I've known Aaron many years & can remember the numerous times that he would show up at my door just to say "HI". Aaron was a good friend, kind hearted person & he will be in our hearts & prayers, always.

Christy, I have fond memories of Aaron all the way back to Forest Park Elementary, as a friend of my daughter Kate. My son Rob thought the world of him. Aaron was a good friend and a great "K" row squad leader. He will be in our hearts and prayers, always. I still can't believe it.
