Aaron was one of the first guys I met when I started at South Carolina State University in 2002. Aaron was such a nice, humble, and compassionate guy with a very unique personality and smile. It was a pleasure knowing such a unique God fearing man. I express my deepest sympathy to you, the entire Jennings family. The Jennings family as well as the SCSU Bulldog family has lost a well respected man in our lives. Aaron may not be here with us in the flesh but always know he is with us in our hearts, our spirits, and our memories. May God bless the Jennings and SCSU Bulldog family during and after this difficult time and find comfort knowing that he is now our guardian angel and that we will see him again.

Death leaves a heartache that no one can ever heal and it leaves a memory that no one can ever steal.
When someone you love becomes a memory, that memory becomes a treasure!

Love your cousin,

I never had the honor of meeting Mr. Aaron, as my daughter would address him. She was one of the troubled teens he worked with at Camp Long. My daughter micah returned home from camp a totally changed spirit. She was calm, kinder, and a much more loving and understanding child. I owe this all to his devoted work at the camp. He literally worked miracles for families like mine. My daughter Micah was very hurt when we found out about his passing. This is one of her first experiences with losing someone she truly cared for. We cried together, and she shared a memory of them hiking just a few days before. She has decided she wants to honor him by achieving all the goals he helped her plan for her future while at camp. I'm am truly sorry for your loss. He was an angel god sent to me even in his living days. He changed my life and I will forever be grateful.

To The Jennings Family,
I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your son, your father, and your friend. I knew Aaron many years through middle/high school and work. May you be comforted by these words: 1Thes:4:17: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. May you find comfort in those words....Lean on Jesus during this time of sorrow.

I met Aaron at SC State. I found him to be a very kind guy...always laughing and smiling. After I graduated and started teaching at Aiken High, I ran into him again. He let me know what he was doing and I was thrilled because we worked with kids form the same area. God bless him for what work he has done and give his family peace.

Words cannot describe the sadness that I felt when I found that such a good person had passed. Aaron touched so many lives and will always be remembered for the good that he has done. My prayers go to the family and friends during these tough times. RIP #12, you will never be forgotten.

Charlene Stinson

April 12, 2010

I met Aaron through a Social Work Class we had together at SC State. He helped me with my self esteem, was always a joy to be around, and always encouraged me to strive to be the best person I could be in life. He told me that I was a beautiful person-at the time where I felt so bad about myself, and that lifted my spirits. My heart is extremely heavy to know that a dear friend is no longer here...BUT GOD!! He's The Comforter and with that I must continue to trust Him in Everything. I will continue to keep you all lifted up in prayer and I hope that this will push us all to having a closer relationship with God. Aaron, you will be missed. From Your AKA soror Charlene

I met Aaron at North Augusta High he was a very good friend. Aaron was everything any one would want in a friend. He was everything a young man was expected be kind, gentle, loving, and most of all very reasonable. He was exciting to watch on the field and full of laughs off the field. The only thing that brings joy to my heart now is knowing without a doubt that I will see Aaron again one day when I get to heaven. RIP my friend until we met again because it is not over yet.

Words can not express how I feel about the death of Aaron. He was a good friend to me. I can remember my first day walking on SCSU campus with my father and Aaron was the first person from my hometown I saw. He told my father dont worry I will look out for her and make sure LaTrice stay out of trouble and he did just that. He was truly my "big brother." After losing my father in 2003, Aaron told me not to worry my father is in a better place. Aaron is now there with him, and for this I can have peace. He will truly be missed.
