Wow!! Its still REALLY hard to believe Aaron is gone. I miss him dearly , like imensily. School is so quiet without him theres no one to look up to & have him flash a big beautiful smile. I know hes in a better place though & for that I'm glad. They say you're only selfish if you want Aaron on earth with me instead of in Heaven but I'm being selfish & wish he WAS here. He IS amazing & he IS the most amazing person I`ve ever met. I'm glad I had the oppertunity to meet him & He changed mine along with many others life.



I love you aaron

Susie and family,

I just want to thank you for being so supportive of Aaron's friends at such a difficult time in your life. You have opened your arms and home for them. I know Zach has had some comfort being in Aaron's room and sharing stories with his friends. He comes home smiling after sharing Aaron stories. I know that is what you want for them. I have told all of my children how blessed we were to have known Aaron. I never have met a child or adult live life each and every day to the fullest like Aaron did. That smile and laugh will be in all of our hearts forever.

God Bless you Susie. I know you have a wonderful circle of support around you with family and friends.

Our prayers are always with you and your family,

The Williamson Family

Schneider Family, I am so sorry for your loss. Aaron was a good friend of mine. Always there cheering me up or making me laugh. I hold so many memories of him and in every one he had a huge smile covering his face. He was one of the happiest kids I knew, and I enjoyed being around him. I can't name one person who wasn't touched by him. He was a great skateboarder and I remember him cheering everyone on. He was loved by everyone.I know he's happy to be with his Father now, and that he is watching out for us.

Susie and family,

There are no words that can begin to express my feelings about your loss. Gabe's life has been forever changed in many ways. He really loved to skate with Aaron. He really enjoyed the times they spent together, especially at the skatepark in Kettering. Gabe told me that Aaron was always finding the funny things and the good things in every situation. Gabe said Aaron always made them laugh.( Gabe smiled just thinking about him and telling me this!) I know that Aaron will be missed by all of us on earth, but he is surrounded by joy and peace in heaven with his dad and Jesus. If you ever want to spend more time talking with Gabe, feel free to call us. May God give you peace,

Terry, Gabe, Caterina, and Verne

I hope you will be able to find comfort in knowing that Aaron is at peace, and is now with those loved ones who have passed before him.

Dear Mrs. Schneider:



My heartfelt sympathy to you on the loss of your precious son, Aaron. Aaron was a classmate of my son, Steven Schultz. They were also in band together. When I saw Aaron's picture, the first thing I noticed were his beautiful eyes. They say that your eyes are the window of your soul; and that being the case, I'm certain he was a very fine young man. There are no words of comfort to a mother who has lost her child, but as a mother who has also lost a son and a stepson, I would like you to know that I truly understand your grief. If you ever need to talk, please feel free to call me at 614-864-5816. You are in my thoughts and prayers and may God Bless you and keep you during this very difficult time.

You do not know me. However, my daughter Shaelynn was in the 8th grade Pickerington band with Aaron. She has shed many tears for Aaron since Sunday. She has also said that she will miss his smile and joyful personality. Shaelynn will never forget Aaron. May The Lord be with you through this trying time. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

I want to let you know that my prayers are with you. You don't know me directly but we were together (in a sense) when our kids were born. My daughter, Erin Lashley, was born on the same day in the same hospital. The kids were in the nursery together. Our kids started their life together and were friends together. I remember Aaron being such fun at the softball games for the girls and would cheer and act silly when Erin was up to bat or would make a play. She talked about him constantly. I have heard from all of the kids (we held a gathering on Sunday so they could be together and support each other), that they can't think of one person that would say something negative about him. Everyone loved him. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you. You raised a wonderful child and I hope that my kids can be as carefree and wonderful as Aaron is.

Susan, Carley and Ashley, There are no words I could say that would comfort you in the loss of Aaron. Please know that even though my contact with your family was for a short period of time, he made a lasting impression. His smile is an indelible mark on my heart and will remain there forever...With deepest sympathy,

Susie,



Aaron was such a joy to be around. He was always making me laugh. He and Taylor had such a strong bond. Taylor had said that he and Aaron had so much in common. They were 2 little boys that had lost their dad. I don't begin to understand God's way or his plan. I do know that we have to put our faith in him which is so hard at times. I also know that we will be reunited with our husbands and all loved ones one day, and for that I am grateful.

Aaron was always smiling and laughing and that is how I will always remember him.

You have been and will remain in my prayers always. I am always here for you to talk....always.

Aaron and his family,



I've knwon Aaron since First grade and I can just remember how he was always smiling! He will not be forgotten at our school (Ridgeview Junior High), we all loved him dearly and to think hes gone is hard. Everyone says "It's like im comming to school tomarrow and im going to see him there smiling and laughing with his friends as usual." I know it sounds odd, but Aaron had legendary shoes! They were hilarious to see because they had all sorts of rips and tears in them; even if you didnt know him, you knew his shoes! You are in my prayers Aaron, and his family. Good luck to Aarons family, keep your spirit high and dont stop smiling, dont forget "Aaron says smile."
