Aaron,
I’ve loved you since before you were born. As with your sisters before you, I would make your mom hold the telephone to her belly so I could talk to you in utero.
Several years ago, you and Rianna slept over at our house. You two were fighting (as usual) and I yelled at you both pretty good. You told your mom that I was so mad that I hated you. I told you that no matter what happened, I could never hate you.
You’ll always be the Funniest Boy in the World, and I’ll always love you.
Love, Auntie Wynn

To the Jurek family.
Saying that my condolences are with you is true. but you have heard it from many people. I wish i could help you all heal very much so, but i don't know how. Just remember you have so many memories with him and they are memories most families do not have with their child. Though, we never got the chance to know each other very well and i wish we would have. But i got to know aaron a great deal.
See i met Aaron while i was in 8th grade on Halloween i believe. He was with kyle and someone else. I had my friends and my little brother with me. He was very sweet to my brother which made my day. Because not most guys are nice to little kids and hold their hands. haha. It was the cutest thing i have ever seen. But than we didn't talk much after that. Until the summer before ninth grade had started. I met him a couple times when i would go out for a walk or my alone time. I did that whenever i would feel down. I didn't like how cocky he was when i saw him the first couple times. but he had the most gorgeous and inviting facial expressions. His eyes and smile was the one thing i loved most about him. We started hanging out maybe not allot but we did hang out many times. and he was there anytime i needed him. he was my first high school crush. we had many inside jokes. I also loved watching him play guitar hero. it was so cute and funny. that game he would get so into and he amazed me by how good he was. he was also a very good student and he helped me many times freshman year with my science class. He got me and kyle to become friends. Which is something i will always be thankful for. I remember just last summer [2009]i didn't believe in god for many reasons. but he talked and texted me so much about believening him and now of all times i'm finally going to believe. I miss him more and more everyday. I still cry at night sometimes. My most favorite memory has to be when he had asked me to the snow daze dance. I remember when he and kyle had called my friend karissa and i up. They asked us. I litterally thought it was a joke. I never thought he would have asked me. But i said yes. When i saw the video you all made of his pictures it made me laugh it was so nice to see those pictures but the picture of him and kyle wearing the same outfits they did to snow daze it made me cry EVERY time. but i'm glad i still cry for him.
I wanted you to know all this because it's nice to know things about loved ones you never knew.
My thoughts will be with you forever and more. I love you aaron c. jurek <3
i miss you more and more :/

Aaron,
I still can't believe your gone. I miss you more and more every day. I know you're in a better place! I have so many memories with you that are constantly playing in my head; and in every one, we are laughing.
Of course, as brothers and sisters do, we fought, and yelled, and kicked and screamed. But, (as long mom and dad weren't home for us to get into trouble), we ended up laughing about fighting as well. (Or atleast ganging up and laughing at whoever was the most upset).
I MISS YOU SO MUCH!
I have too many memories to share just one, but I will never forget after moving out, that every time I came over to visit, you would always greet me and leave me with that giant smile, a hug, and "I love you, Sara!"
I LOVE YOU, TOO, AARON!
P.S. Can't wait to get on the lakes, and I'll soon have a lucky lure!

Dear John and Jean and girls,
I was reading your note and I began to cry. So I was sharing what you wrote with the staff here at St. Mary's and I could hardly do it. Then a staff member said I'll read it and she began to cry so then even though I was so sad I wanted to read it because it was such a beautiful note. Love aunt katie

Dear Jurek family,
Aaron and I have allways been good friends. I remember when we were all in elementry school and summers Aaron, Kyle, And I would spend together. We would do things from building forts in the woods, to pulling each other around on are electric scooters. Those were really some fun years for me and many memorys i can still pull up from that time. There was a couple years where we did not hang out too often but I still would consider us friends. Freshmen year of high school was when Aaron and I started to hang out again tell to come his resting day. The last couple months we spent together were great.We did things from throwing october snowballs at each other after school to just hanging at someones house.He was a great friend to me even if he beat me in Monopoly. I will dearly miss him. His laugh and smile will not be forgoten.

I was Aaron's PE teacher at Epiphany for many years! He was always one of the first to run into class excited to participate! I remember him always enjoying a great game of competitive Scramble with his classmates. He was always happy, fun and full of energy. Aaron was SO respectful and eager to please. I will pray for him as well as your family. Please read "The Dash" by Linda Ellis...it will warm your heart. I am so sorry for your loss. God Bless.
With fond memories,

When I lost the love of my life I was given a book about grief. Something I read in that book made an impact on me and my grieving process, and I'd like to share it with the Jurek family. It said: 'Would you trade in all this deep pain you're feeling, for the fact of not ever knowing this loved one?' My answer, of course, was "NO!". I was privileged and honored to know my loved one, and for sharing the most wonderful times of my life with him. I would never trade that away, no matter how much pain I feel with his passing. My life was SO impacted with him being in it and I'll always have that in my heart. Aaron came into your life for a reason and his life had purpose for you and many. He will always be a part of you. What a gift! God be with you always.

Dear Jurek Family,
I personally did not know Aaron but my son, Ryan, knew him from BHS. I just wanted to let you know that Aaron will continue to be in my thoughts and prayers. I was amazed at the turnout at his funeral, I hope that all those kids there show you what a great friend he must have been to so many. May time ease your pain.

Dear Jurek Family,
I can't begin to tell you how sad I am about Aaron. It was such a shock to all of us, as I know it was to you too. Aaron was in my German 2 class this year - but I met him last year as a Freshman in German 1. He was always one of the first to come into the classroom as I was leaving and Frau Skakal was arriving. He was always joking with her and would be the first to help me with the door or anything I needed. I was glad to see him in my class at the start of the year. And what a terrific student and young man he was! He was again, always right on time to class asking what we would be doing or chatting with other kids in class. We all remember him as one who would be friendly and helpful to anyone in class. It didn't matter where he sat or with whom he worked - he was always ready & willing to do whatever was asked of him. He was such a fun & outgoing student, as well as a respectful and polite young man. I just loved him! His smiling face will not be forgotten. I pray every night for his peace and I pray that you and all those who loved him can find comfort in all the great memories of him. He was so special to so many.
God be with you.

He always knew how to make people smile, even when I was angry I couldn't help but laugh around him. He will be missed by everybody who knew him and he has a special place in my heart. I am thinking of your family and Kyle. We Will Remember.

Dear Jurek family,
I am so sadden to hear of your loss. I am a teacher at Epiphany and although I didn't teach Aaron I have heard so many wonderful things about him from many of the other teachers. He will be remembered as a cheerful, kind boy who was well liked. I know God has wrapped His arms around you and I feel Aaron is watching over you now. God's peace to you now and always.

Dear John, Jean, Sara and Brianna:
One wonders if there could be a more difficult day than today for all of you. You've been on my mind all morning and my heart is breaking for the grief I know that you are feeling. I can only imagine that these past few days have been just a blur. I have been reading some of the messages....they are so beautiful...the memories that so many have shared. What a wonderful gift you have in these messages. It is my prayer that the bewilderment and deep pain you feel over his life being so unexpectedly cut short, will be replaced eventually with a joy of knowing what a treasure he was to so many. Whatever pain he felt is now replaced by the peace and joy of being with God. I am praying for you today. There are a bazillion angels who are with you today. God bless you with healing and comfort.

We are sad to hear the loss of a child, is too hard to imagine and comprehend. Our hearts and prayers are with you all.
A lifetime of friendship has come and gone. Our families have watch each other's grow. Thank you for letting us get to know and be part of yours at Hoot Owl. It won’t be the same, no one to keep Pat on the run, Aaron daring him to throw him into the sun. The lake was so cold but, that didn’t matter, back in the drink they went with a splatter. We have been blessed to have known such a beautiful child; he always had a great big smile.
The Lord has taken him to his side and there they will fish in the evening sky.
Love Pat & Dawn

I am shocked and very sorry for your loss. It is so hard to belive after all Jean has done when my mom died and trying to keep her memory alive after loosing a best friend that such a tragedy would happen with your family. Stay strong all of you. When your driving down the road alone in the \days, weeks, months ahead and you have the urge to cry let it out and think of the good times. A Huge Part of us goes with the loved ones we lose whether we admit it or not and we trully are never the same. But try your best to live life for the fullest for yourself and the people you have left. If any of you need anything please ask. Sara or Jean if you ever feel like talking and crying I will come cry with you. I don't know what I would ever do if I lost one of my brothers let alone my son. Stay strong and take care of yourselves all of you. Love you guys... Love Missy Hanson

Dear Jean, Sara and Family,
Although I had never met Aaron, I did work with Sara in some clinical rotations in September. If he's anything like his sister, he's an awesome young man!
I know there are no words that can take away your pain and grief as you all try to understand this terrible tragedy. I am so very sorry for your loss. My heart is heavy with sadness, as I know yours is, too. However difficult it will be, try to cherish the memories and the good times in the days and months ahead.

Family of Aaron,
I didnt know Aaron very well but we had gym together last year. I was not the most athletic in the group and he would always let me be in his group. In such a small way your son has touched my life and changed it forever. This was not the only contact we had since we went to school together but it is one of my favorite memories of just how special your son truely is. Your son will always be in my prayers and the prayers of anyone who has ever been in contact with him for even five minutes.

To the Jurek family. I am a grandmother to Jordan, who's locker was close to Aaron's.Jordan was home for Thanksgiving and shared with us about Aaron. I cannot comprehend, having a precious granddaughter about the age(almost 16) of Aaron. We are so taken back by this. Your whole family will be in our prayers in church on sunday, the 29th. May God sustain you with His mighty strength and His GRACE that is sufficient for all of us.

Dear Jean, John, Sara & Rianna,
I never had the chance to meet Aaron as a teenager. I remember when he was born, up until he was probably a toddler- and from what I can recall, he was a very squirmy, yet happy kid :)
Over the past week I've heard many stories from my mom and read many from others about what a great person he was. Even though he is no longer with you, it's apparent that his spirit continues to live on in so many others that he touched.
I am so deeply sorry for all that you're going through- you are all very much in my thoughts.
~To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people
and the affection of children;
to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends;
to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.

I have known Aaron since kindergarten. He has always been one of my dear closest friends. I remember about 4 summers back Emily Roberts, Maddie Olson, Kyle, Aaron and I would hang out almost everyday. We would constantly go on bike rides. You are all in my thoughts an prayers. And remember, celebrate the life Aaron had, don't mourn his passing. He would want you to be happy.

Mr. and Mrs. Jurek, Sara, and Rianna,
I have known Aaron since kindergarden when he used to pretend to be my puppy and I was his owner who cared for him and always gave him treats. I miss those days so dearly and wish, like you, that I could relive every moment with him.
Aaron made everything in life so much more enjoyable. He always made me laugh when I had the worst days.
I remember one day in English when we were learning about the greek gods and Aaron tried to memerize them all within one day. He was so determined and in the end, he learned most of them. It was so funny to see him looking at that book so seriously. I never thought he could get into something that deep.
We had so many inside jokes. Such as doorbell, Belle, and "How many hands do you have Halina?" That last joke began in English class with Mrs. Daniels when I was counting hands for some reason or something like that, and all of the sudden I said, "I have 2 hands!". Now you would think that it made sense, but while I said this, I held up 3 fingers indicating how many hands I have. We laughed for months about the matter. It was one of the more funny Aaron times. I will miss joking around with him.
Aaron knew me pretty well. He knew when I was having a bad day just by looking at me. He knew my favorite princess, Belle, and would always call me Belle. He knew how to make me smile and enjoy life. He knew my birthday, March 10th 1994. He taught me that just because someone says something, it doesn't neccesarily mean that its true. He knew all of my ticklish spots. He knew my favorite number at the time, 3. And he also knew that I (and others) cared for him and he could talk to me whenever he wanted or needed to.
I remember one day he was so upset by something someone said. He came to me and asked me how to deal with it. I gave him a suggestion and when he did it and came back to me, the look in his eye was priceless. He glowed with happiness.
I've never realized until now that a person could have this effect on you. I thank you very much for raising such a wonderful young man. One that I loved and always will.
We are all grieving. I want you to know that if you need anything, you can contact any of us to help you out no matter what it is or when it is. We are here for you and always will be.
You are in our thoughts and prayers always.
I love you Bud. I will miss you, and so will everyonr that has been touched by you.
Aaron Jurek...... Pray for us.
Love,
Halina Lewis

Dear, John,Jean, Sara & Rianna
I only ran across the likes of Aaron a few times but searching for memories I found one I think you may like. I think it was one of those famous Skog get togethers. Maybe your wedding anniversary I can't be sure but anyways you guys where busy so the task of taking lil Aaron to the boys room was delegated to me. So off we go. Aaron was a few paces ahead of me so I guess it was a lil more urgent then I was thinking. So Aaron leads himself ,all of about 4ft. (must have been like 8 or 10 at the time),to the urinal.... does what has to be done and steps back. Now at this point I take it as my cue to reach the handle for him and flush. So as I reach for the flush handle out of nowhere a size 5 sneaker flies within 1in of my nose and then forward towards the wall and SLAMS the handle down. I look at the lil tike and he did all that while still putting his pants back together. I couldn't help but laugh it was so funny. He never made like it was anything at all. So as we washed our hands I asked "now WHO taught you that lil trick?" he looked at me poker-faced "my DAD" .
When I was a little guy Jean used to take care of all us younger ones at the Skog Family holidays and I remember when John was dating Jean and would play out in the yard with us lil dudes at Uncle LeRoy's. I want to guys to know you are our Family and we will do anything we can for you.

I am so sorry for our loss. Aaron was an amazing person and he will never be forgotten. His smile and personality could brigten anyones day. He always knew when something was wrong with someone and always knew how to make it better. If you guys need anything you know I am here for you, you guys are like my second family. I am praying for all of you.
Aaron~ I have known you since we were born. We grew up being neighbors and have been best friends from the start. We shared some of the greatest moments in each others lives. Whenever I needed advice or someone to talk to I knew you would be there for me to go to, you had my back no matter what it was. You knew you could always come to me as well. You and I were closer then any friends or brothers ever could of been. I remember how we would tell people we were brothers. We always said I was the big brother. Truely you were the big brother you taught me more about life then anyone has or anyone ever will be able to. We went to different schools until ninth grade but yet we still saw each other everyday and spent almost everyday during the summer together. I know you and I had arguments from time to time but we definately had more good times. I have memories that I will cherish for the rest of my life. You were more than just a neighbor or a friend you were family. I can't remember one time that you didnt have a smile on your face. What I can remember is all the fun and crazy times we had over the past fifteen years. You not only made an impact in my life but many others. Things will never be the same without you. You will NEVER be forgotten. This is not a goodbye this is a see you later. I love you dude!

I didn't know Aaron personally, but that hasn't stopped me from grieving for your family. A few of my friends from my youth group at my church knew your son. and from what i've read and heard, he was an amazing person. I'm just here to tell you that my prayers are going out to you. May the precense of God fill all of your hearts through the trials you are facing in this time. God bless all of you.

Jean, Jon, and family,
Im so sorry to hear about your loss. I am still at a loss of words. I havnt stopped thinking about Aaron, then I have to stop and think of all the funny things. Playing tricks on Traci and I when we would come to clean. That silly Aaron put butter on the door handle of his room and just waited for me to open the door and he laughed like crazy. When I left I put a tall standing skelaton man I found in your garage and set it right inside his bedroom door and scared him when he opened his door. Then the following week,just as I thought the fun was over, i turned on his fan and he had popcorn on top of the fan blades so when the fan turned on, it was raining popcorn. It was always a good laugh with Aaron.
Just always remeber the memorable times you all had with Aaron and never let them go. He was a wonderful young man and will be missed by many. My prayers are with you all in this time of so much pain.

Dear Aaron
As you can tell from the many messages of condolence to your family, you made a strong and lasting impression on all who came in contact with you. You brought smiles, laughter and cheer to the many people who met you. Grandma Gayl and I are so proud of you. I miss you terribly even though you beat me at cribbage. Who is going to beat your Dad at catching fish now? You were the champ. Aaron, I miss you so much it hurts deep in my heart. God is waiting for you with open arms. You will be in my thoughts forever.

Especially at school when he would help me with my girlfriend and all the guys chasing her you would stand there saying you were her boyfriend for me!(amazing) I will never forget it and you would never find such a kid that smiled as much as him. Lunch time was great he would always make it fun and enjoyable. I am so gonna miss you man you amazing i wish i would've had time to pay you back! I love you man!

We know there are no words that can take away the pain to our terribly unexpected loss. He is truly a beautiful boy and has touched each and every one of us. We hope that the love and memories you have of him help to console you in the days, weeks, months and years ahead. We know things will never be the same and nobody can ever replace Aaron but he wouldn't want you to quit doing the things your family and him loved to do. You are all in our thoughts and prayers and know that we are always here for you and will help out any way possible. We love you all and keep your heads held high you raised a wonderful young man!
Aaron:
You were more then a neighbor to us, you were a brother, son, best friend and boyfriend ;)You are funny, smart, loving, had a contagious laugh and were fun to be around. We will miss having you around the house and everything our families did together. Our hearts are heavy with sadness and the weather explains our feelings these last couple days: tears, dark and dreary. It brings us comfort to know that you are in heaven with God and your grandpa. You will be truly missed Aaron you are loved by so many. This however is not good bye it is see you later. We love you!

Aaron Christopher Lloyd Weber Thomas Pop-boy Jurek,
Hi bud. Where to begin? We have so much stuff we want to say. We have so many things we want to do with you, things to teach you. We talked about anything and everything under the sun, this shouldn’t have been any different. We miss you!!
Every where we turn you are there: your smile, your laugh, your humor, your face. There isn’t one second that goes by that you are not in our thoughts. Mom and I have cried so much these last few days and it has yet to begin to ease any pain we feel. Your sisters are going through soooo much. The pain of your absence is so great. Please watch over Sara and Rianna, show them the signs that you love them, whether it is in a song they hear or even a kiss from you through Chenue. I know you are working through Chenue now as well, because when she licked the tears from my face this morning I felt you and I know you had something to do with it because the only person Chenue ever kissed was you!
You are so loved by so many people we wish that you were here to see what is going on. All your buddies and friends have been over 100 times to check on us, bring us food (yes, it was from $5 Pizza!), doing yard work for us, sending us text messages through your phone telling us how cool of a kid you were and how they miss you, creating a facebook page for you, leaving notes in your locker, sending us pictures, they bring us hugs and in each one, we feel your presence. About 50 kids met at Epiphany on Monday night and they made a poster of pictures of you and them together, each one wrote something about how much you meant to them and how much they will miss you. They brought it over that night and gave it to us. We were told that a lot of kids didn’t go to school on Monday and that when the school told the students that you had died, a lot had to go home because they were so sad. Even the Principal stopped over yesterday and brought us some of the notes and letters and pictures of you and your friends and what they wrote about you, and how the kids gather at your locker. You should hear some of the stories we have heard (I guess you probably already know the stories, go ahead and say it “duh dad” and btw, you better tell that goose you were sorry :0), but you should see some of the things that they have written about you. How kind you were, how often you helped them, how you made them laugh, how you listened to them, how you made time for each and every one of them and how you made each one feel special and touched their hearts. You taught them things that one could never possibly imagine.
You taught us things as well, like that family is the most important thing in this world and that everyday one must cherish that moment with them. The whole family, and I mean the whole family, your Grandma’s and Grandpa, Aunties and Uncles, your cousins and everyone else are so saddened that you are gone.
We wish you were here so we could tell you again how much we love you. You have touched so many people. In case you can’t tell, you are loved by everyone. The next time we see you there will be so many hugs and kisses. You know we love you and always will. We miss you so much, we love you bud. See you in heaven.
Mom and Dad
