Adventurous, out-going, athletic, funny and compassionate, Aaron embraced and lived life to its fullest. Whether spending time with his family, hanging out with his friends or helping a child with their homework, he was a blessing to all those who knew him.

He was preceded in death by his maternal grandparents, Dr. Wolfgang and Dorothea Wernicke.
He is survived by his parents, Robert and Petra Kay of Brandon; grandparents, Jack and Sophie Kay of Brandon; his brother, David, his wife, Carrie and their daughter, Sarah of Okinawa, Japan, cousin, Katharina Fuchs of Germany; and his faithful companion, Mogli.
Funeral services will be held at Beth Israel Synagogue on Friday, September 4, 2009, at 10 am with burial in Beth Israel Cemetery.

On behalf of all of us at AutoZone, we wish to extend our deepest sympathy. Aaron was a fine young man, not only to have worked with, but to have known. There will be a great void in the hearts of all of us that were forunate enough to have known him. May your friends and family bring you strength and comfort during this difficult time.

Robert and Petra,
Our hearts go out to your Family at this most trying time. I had limited contact with Aaron, but followed his progress via conversations with Robert. My memory of Aaron was watching him play soccer one evening while I was working in Jackson,MS. Aaron was doing extremely well, but it was the coach who need direction as Petra was shouting directions from the bleachers.
Our Thoughts and Prayers are with you.
Carlyle and Linda

Although I did not know Aaron well, my son,Wendell, has many great momories with him. Going to class, playing soccer at Holmes, hanging out at Wendell's apartment and spending time with all the other boys was a wonderful experience for all of them. These days will never be forgotten. My sincerest thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Cheryl C. Yarbrough

Robert, my prayers go out to you and your family. Aaron was a very special person who enjoyed life to the fullest and he had a fun and great attitude. I really enjoyed playing soccer with him. It was always nice to have him on my team so we would have a scorer on the team. I will be out of town during the funeral but I wanted to just send you a note. Please let me know if I can do any thing for you. Thanks, Clay

Robert and Petra,
My heart aches for both of you. There are no words that I can say to ease your pain; however, please take comfort in knowing how many lives Aaron touched (mine included) with his kindness and compassion. Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to know and love your child. I was Aaron's fifth grade teacher.
