He was born February 2nd, 1932 to the late Roscoe Butts and Martha Lee (Peoples) of Mansfield, Ohio. Affectionally known as "Moose", Aaron was a lifelong resident of Mansfield. He graduated from Mansfield Senior High in 1950. He was a proud Korean War veteran, serving the United States Army. He worked 40 years as a Foundry Laborer with the Ohio Brass and retired to enjoy life. In his earlier years, Aaron enjoyed golfing, bowling, fishing, watching his beloved Cleveland Browns, reading, and most of all he enjoyed spending time with his family.
