Our son, Austin Twitty, met AJ at the EBR youth camp in 2011 (my wife posted below). We found this picture of them both. We are so sorry for your loss and are praying for His grace for your family.

We are so heartbroken to hear of AJ's passing. My heart aches for you. He was such a wonderful young man always smiling and polite. He was so good to all the younger kids, especially my own. He would come to all of the Rocket Youth League games, all the kids would just flock around him the whole time. They all loved him and he was so good to them. He was an AC Reynolds superstar and I never saw him act too busy, cool or important to stop and talk to fans and especially our EBR boys and girls. He gave encouragement out to many younger players and had a kind, considerate, giving heart. My son Colton included a picture of AJ & he in a class presentation when he was in middle school. AJ had taken Colton aside during the high school football camp put his arm around him and encouraged him when Colton was struggling trying a new position. My son has never forgotten that and never will. I know we are one of many who can say that AJ went out of his way to be a blessing to. God Bless you and your family AJ Marion, you will always have a special place in our hearts.

Your family has been in my family's thoughts and prayers for the last week. I only met AJ once or twice, but I remember what a help and encouragement he as at the EBR summer camp. AJ was so good to the kids, who treated him like a celebrity. Our son, Austin, was thrilled to be able to take a picture with him (which I need to find). He was an amazing young man. We are sorry for your loss and will keep you in our thoughts and prayers as you deal with his absence, especially over this next year.

Nicola,
We will be praying for peace and comfort for you and your family during this difficult time. Viewing several comments here and on AJ's FB page, it was obvious that he was a very loving young man to everyone who came in contact with him. His smile in "every" picture says it all. Please know that you will always be family...let us know if we can do anything for you. Marvin and Octavia Spicer
