Shelley and I are still so sorry for Aron's passing. He left this world at much too early an age. Although time has passed, his memory hasn't. We know and honor how the passing of a loved one never really goes away. Although it fades into the background with time, it is always with us as a reminder of the life we cherished.

I can't believe today marks 6 years since you were taken, Aaron. It feels like yesterday I remember running around our houses in Morgantown & your's in Deep Creek with you and Julia when we were little. You were a great friend to me and Neil and we miss you so much. Rest easy, buddy. Love, Ryan Mcknight.

Esther and Brian, due to unforeseen circumstances I was unable to attend the memorial for Aaron but from others who attended, it seemed to have been a wonderful celebration of your wonderful son.

My deepest sympathies to the Reed and Balash Families. My son, Tom, was one of Aaron's housemates as well as a long-time friend of Chris'. I had the opportunity of meeting Aaron. He was a great guy, and his friends in Buffalo are shocked and saddened at his passing. Aaron could be any one of our kids; any one of our brothers. If something good can come of this, I hope that everyone touched by Aaron lives their life to their fullest in his memory. And plays music. My thoughts and prayers for peace and comfort are with you.

Brian, I am so sorry to hear about Aaron's death. I regret that I never met him -- he sounds like a truly beautiful person. My own daughters go/went to Reservoir High School -- I didn't realize that we were nearly neighbors.

My heart goes out to you and your family. I hope that you are able to be together and support each other in this time of loss and grief.

Shelley and I cannot tell you how sorry we are. Zack
