Aaron D. Layne

One thing I failed to mention when I wrote my initial note was Aaron's great sense of humor. We were discussing food and cooking one time and he said, "I can eat out as cheap as I can cook for myself." Well, as usual, I strongly disagreed with him. Then he qualified his statement with, "Out at Mother's, out at Dot's and out at Mary's." I'm sure that he could too, and am just as sure that all of them were happy to feed him anytime he appeared.

Thoughts about Aaron.

It was quite a shock, to say the least, to hear of the death of my friend and cousin, Aaron.

Aaron loved to do the things I love to do, hunting, golfing--all sports.

Since we were small children the joy of going to Uncle Fred's and Aunt Myrtle's and seeing my cousins, Aaron and Lamar were at the top of the joys of childhood.

We would shoot basketball, play tincan ball, fish in the creek, and hunt rabbits at Sybleville.

I remember...

Aaron was my cousin, born in the same year as I. We were lifelong buddies, more like brother and sister and I will miss him so much.

He could always be counted on for help and for making me laugh. He sat with me at St. Vincent's while my husband was getting an arteriogram, brought me coffee, and distracted me from my worry.

He also took me to dinner and dancing when my first husband was at summer camp. My then teenage son would tell him just to have me home by morning so that...

Aaron was more than a cousin to me. Aaron was always a person I could go to for help, whether sitting with my sick father, repairs to my house or mopping my kitchen floor when company was coming, he was willing to lend a hand. I will miss him immensely.

When I was 5 years old Uncle Aaron traded my daddy (his brother Lamar) a Volkswagon for our Chevy pickup. That was over 40 years ago. Through the years I always loved Aaron for his humor and good nature and admired him for his can-do attitude. Now I guess it is time to forgive him for that Volkswagon. I will miss him.

"Uncle" Aaron as he was known to me was a very dear family friend of my grandparents, Ray & Shirley Trotter. My mother, Becki Trotter Huck, my sisters & I thought alot of him and his sweet demeanor. We were blessed to have known him and to have memories of him.
May God be of comfort to you all in your time of pain.

Lamentations 3:32:

32 Though he brings grief, he will show compassion, so great is his unfailing love.

With love,

Aaron was one of the "GOOD GUYS".
He is remembered fondly. My thoughts and prayers go out to his
children and other family members.

Aaron leaves two wonderful children and many neices and nephews who are proud to have known him, and will always miss him.

There were seven, now there are only four. The love for each other and for the...
