Aaron J. Brookhart

I just heard about Aaron's death today from my brother who rowed with him at St. Iggy's. Like you all, I was shocked and deeply saddened by the news. My deepest sympathies are with his family, and all of us who knew and rowed with him. I'm so sorry.

May your memories of your Uncle Aaron bring you comfort when you need it the most. I love you, Brookhart Family.

To All the Members of the Brookhart Family--
As with so many of the other letters I have read-- we do not know each other. But we share in the loss of a son with so much promise and the whole world ahead of him, but due to circumstance, and at a very early age, he is gone. Everyone loved them, and we just question--WHY?
I can't give you answers, but my faith and the promise of eternal life are what keep me going. I would rather believe in God than not to believe in him, and find out...

To my family, I am so sorry for the loss of Aaron, and I am sorry I was not able to know him better. I love you all.

I HAVE ALSO LOST OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS, SO I DO KNOW JUST HOW DIFFICULT THESE TIMES CAN BE. PLEASE ACCEPT MY SINCERE SYMPATHY AND TIME WILL GO ON, BUT THE HOLE IN YOUR...

Craig and family - my deepest sympathy. It's been a long time Craig (Gepp's), but I still remember how proud you were every time you spoke of Aaron - how your face would light up. I am so deeply sorry for your loss.

I had the pleasure of working with Aaron when he worked at the Prosecutor's Office for the summer. He was diligent, intelligent, and one of the nicest men I've met. Losing him is a tremendous loss for us all.

No bond is as great as that between a parent and child. My deepest condolences are with you as you grieve.

My name is Michael Cottone and I lived with Aaron for a year at Rutgers when he was a senior and I was a sophomore. I also rowed with him on lightweight crew. To say he was the best rower I've seen would be an understatement. To say he was nicest, greatest friend would also be an understatement. I was shocked when I found out about this news.
I was never a good rower, but he encouraged me to give it my all and he believed in me just like he believed in many of my fellow teammates and...
