AARON D. POWERS

Marlene and Michael, please accept my prayers and condolences. He left this world too soon. May he rest in peace.

I can't count the number of nights that Aaron and I stayed up past midnight, grinding away on engineering problems together while at Dartmouth. Aaron's intelligence was surpassed only by his caring attitude, willingness to help others (often I was the recipient), and sense of humor. He will be deeply missed.

I was a fraternity brother of Aaron's. Many images of good times and laughter with Aaron will live on in my memories. My deepest sympathies and condolences to his family for their loss.

I was very sad to hear about Aaron. I'll remember him as a positive guy always offering a smile and a made-up Italian word. Everybody liked him and liked being with him, and for good reason. He will be missed.

Yet another of Aaron's fraternity brothers who wishes to offer my condolences. As others have mentioned, Aaron was one of the friendliest, smartest, and funniest guys I knew at college. And almost certainly the most authentic. We were all lucky to spend time with him, and the world is worse off for him being gone.

Aaron, I will miss you. You were a great friend, roommate, study partner and brother.

I hadn't spoken with Aaron in a long time, but am very saddened to hear of his death so young. He was a solid friend and engineering classmate. Quiet and kind. Self assured, confident, and unafraid to walk his own path. I'm so sorry for your loss.

Like many of his fellow Dartmouth grads, I want to emphasize Aaron's unassuming but razor-sharp intelligence and wit. He had been my roommate for a stretch, and was one of the pillars who gave me the strength to stay in college, even when I thought I didn't belong there. Hearing of his passing has hit many of us hard, not least because I think many of us lost touch with him when he moved back to his hometown. At a time when so many of us were trying to find a herd to run with, I think we all...

I was a friend of Aaron's and a fraternity brother. He was a really good man. My heart goes out to his family and friends.
