Aaron Myers Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Aug. 16, 2012.
On August 13, 2012 our lives drastically changed forever when our son Aaron Myers unexpectedly left us to explore the most amazing hunting fields & fishing streams that can only be found in Heaven. Aaron was an amazing avid outdoorsman. He was the happiest when he was hunting with his Grandpa Al in Indiana and throwing a fishing line in the rivers of Virginia. You have always made us proud the way that you loved God & family. You had the biggest heart & you shared it freely. He loved loving people & being loved. His love for people was without prejudice & was with a passion that was a true gift of someone that wanted to make a difference in others lives. His smile, personality & sense of humor was contagious, he brightened every room that he entered. Aaron your family & friends near & far love you more than you ever knew. It has been said more times than I can count that you touched & impacted more lives in a positive way than you ever realized. While you are enjoying hunting, fishing & visiting with your family in Heaven we will miss you being here with us every single day until we are together again. You are forever in our hearts. While no one can come close to telling a good story like you, we will share our precious memories of you with others. You will never be forgotten. Thank you for being the good ole' country boy that God created you to be….our lives are forever better because you were with us.

Please join us as we celebrate Aaron's life at 2PM, this Saturday, August 18, 2012 at Lakeside Baptist Church. The Revs. Myron Powell and Art Hearn will officiate. Aaron's family will receive friends from 5 to 8PM, this evening (Friday), at John M. Oakey & Son Funeral Home in Salem, and for one hour prior to the service at the Church. Burial will be at Sherwood Memorial Park. Memorial contributions in Aaron's memory may be made to Hunters for the Hungry, PO Box 304 Big Island, VA 24526 or by visiting www.h4hungry.org. An online guest book is available for family and friends by visiting www.johnmoakey.com.

Myers family, I cannot believe Aaron has been gone since 2012. I know you guys feel it everyday. You raised a great son and I saw that each day that I worked with Aaron. He had great respect for everyone. And the love of his family he talked about often. He never was embarrassed about sharing things that he and Carlan would do. Steven was the youngest so he felt he needed to take care of when fishing, etc. Norma, the super mom, was favorite topic. Great cook, car pooling, etc. Aaron said you could do anything!

Aaron, I definitely feel my life has been blessed knowing & working with you. You dearly loved your family and was very respectful to everyone. I still have your number in my phone, just in case I need to put hours in for you to get paid.
Dearly love the Myers family

My precious Aaron...you are the first person I think about every morning and the last person I think about every night. Your room remains the same. Rusty still takes his afternoon nap in your bed looking out your window in hopes that you are coming home. You will always have your place at our dinner table. There's a light in your window and a candle lit for you at dinner. When I witness your Dad wearing one of your favorite shirts my heart breaks a bit more if that is even possible. Steven has his "Aaron" time in his own special way. I especially love when he tells me brotherly stories about you ...some which are new to your Mom :) We have tried to understand how to grieve, but continue to fail. I feel your presence with every sunrise, sunset, butterfly encounter and of course the deer you send my way. I'm not sure how to do life without you long term, but I know God wants me to be strong for your brother and your Dad. I so look forward to the day that we will be together forever in your new home...Heaven! Please keep showing up in my dreams...the one where you are playing my favorite song (Go tell it on the mountain) on your sax at church was so very special. We can't fully recover from your way too soon earthly departure, but I promise to take care of your brother & Dad and keep sharing our precious Aaron memories every day. Love you always and forever my precious first born son

Proud Grandpa Al

Aaron, my heart stays heavy from missing you so much... Tears flow as I think of the emptiness I feel. I miss you so much buddy. Thank you for always sending me reminders ( butterflies and deer) that you are always here with us. I know your birthday celebration in heaven was wonderful. One day we will be celebrating together. Love you so much.

Aaron,
Thoughts of you are as clear today as it was when we worked together. You had the respect of all the employees at our store and the corporate office. I told you but you just looked at me and smiled. You were a joy to work with and I so miss that big smile. It was a honor to know such a respectful young man.
Until we see each other again,
Doris

Happy Birthday to our one and only first born amazing son! We miss Aaron more with each passing day. He left a void in our lives that we won't recover from, but we will do everything we can each day to honor him and his way too brief earthly life. We now he's in a far greater place....Heaven in the best hands ever, but that doesn't mean we don't miss all that he added each day to our daily lives! We love and miss our Aaron always!

Thinking about our Aaron non-stop. Aaron seemed to find himself at Wal-Greens often doing last minute Christmas shopping. This year Carlan and Steven informed me they received a message from Aaron to keep up his tradition...I'm thankful for our precious past & future memories which will always include our Aaron!

Miss you buddy more than I can ever say!

Dear Aaron,
I thought about writing this last night as your birthday grows close. It is the same day as my daughter, Jennifer. I know that you and I had that discussion but you reminded me that you were younger. Ha
Boy, do I miss your sense of humor and kindness to others.
You made such an impact to so many people during your short time on earth. You would have made any parent proud by saying "he is my son." But now your are with your father in heaven.
We miss you Aaron. You will not be forgotten.
Your friend,
Doris

My Dearest Aaron,

Oh my goodness son there are truly no words that adequately describe the daily void in our hearts without your earthly presence! I can't even tell you how much we miss you! I'm trying hard to be happy like you would want but nothing is the same without you. I can't cook anything without thinking about you! I finally made Steven sweet tea for the first time recently...he commented on how long it had been since I made tea, I didn't have the heart to tell him that I just had not been able to because all I could think about was how much you loved it & never drank it without telling me I made the best sweet tea! You sure took care of your mom in the little & big ways! My life will never be the same without you Aaron, never the same!

I've been thinking about August 9, 1986 at 4:10 am when I held you in my arms for the first time. I fell so hard for you. I had no idea how I could love a little guy that I had only known for 9 months with such intensity! Talk about being over protective! I wouldn't let you out of my sight. I thought no one could hold you right, feed you or change your diapers! Your Dad had to adjust to no longer being number one! May I just say he couldn't get enough of you either...I so loved watching him spend time with you! He was so cute holding you like you were a fragile piece of china! Our life revolved around you...we were so happy just spending time together with you letting you entertain us! You were a born entertainer! So many precious memories!

I often think WHY aren't we watching home videos & digging through photo albums...the answer is simple we just can't Aaron, doing those things puts reality right in our face and we as parents & your precious fragile brother just can't do it. BUT this doesn't mean that we miss you any less it just means facing the reality of living earthly life without you is just too much to endure!

I do know without a doubt that you are in the BEST hands...the hands of our Heavenly Father and I know that this mom looks forward to heaven more now than I ever have before!

You are forever in our daily thoughts & prayers! The candle in your bedroom window is shining bright and as you know we light your candle each evening during our family meal and I do mean family because you are right there with us.

Tomorrow night is Steven's benefit concert...I know you will be with us! I will be listening for your angelic voice...I hear you snickering right now as I label your voice as angelic...it was always angelic to me & will be tomorrow night more than ever.

You are with us each & every day...in thought, in nature...in absolutely everything Aaron you are with us & there isn't a day that goes by that I don't ask God why...as I've always told you honey we have to always trust God even during the most difficult times & now I'm having to do just that! Stay close my son...your Mom needs you very very close! I love you!

Norma Myers

Dear Aaron,

When we received word of your departure for Heaven first it was 7 seconds of heart wrenching earthly separation followed by 7 minutes, 7 hours, 7 days, 7 weeks and only by the grace of God that I'm capable of breathing my next breath at 7 months of not having you physically with us.
There is not even an hour that passes by that you are not in my thoughts. I feel and see you everywhere. You are still teaching me to embrace God's magnificent creations! I especially feel your presence during my long walks outside and of course talking to you during my alone time is comforting. I tend to linger longer as I take in the sights & sounds of nature knowing you were the happiest when you were in the great outdoors. And while your “never get in a hurry attitude” used to frustrate me when I needed something done “right now” I appreciate that attitude more than ever and wish I had adhered to it more often then.

So much has been on my mind son, but the one thought that has been lingering these last few days especially as I spend time in your room with your things is how you truly wanted to make that move to Colorado for a fresh start. I know how hard you were trying to get there but God's plan was to give you the freshest start of all and from everything I thought I knew of Heaven I've learned even more since your arrival and I am certain that what you are experiencing in God's greatest of all Rocky Mountains is keeping you in total AWE! I can see your excitement as you attempt to take in every total awesome aspect of Heaven…you could never multi-task so I'm sure you are totally lingering, savoring and sharing with others. So many lessons I should have learned from you before now, but thankful I have implemented so much of how you lived; loving others, appreciating nature, laughing, having a tender heart and not being afraid to share it with others knowing the risk of a heart break! Other lessons I have learned from you is when I make our bed each morning I still hear you ask me why you have to make your bed as you explained you were just going to mess it back up in a few hours! I would laugh at your attempt to get out of making up your bed & of course not let you out of the chore! My heart aches a bit more now wishing I had said, “You're right son, you can have the day off, but just today!” After you got over the shock of Sgt Myers letting you off the hook, your face would have lit up & you would have replied, “COOL!”

I committed to spending some time today thinking about all of those that were involved with helping you & your brother. You will be happy to know that I plan to reach out to each one that was there that night to thank them. It will take me some time & a trip up to one of your favorite places, but I will get it done. God will give me the strength and will allow me to feel His presence right along with yours as I take these steps for you and for us.

Of course no one knows how long until we are reunited in Heaven but there is one thing I do know with 100% certainty and that is the fact there will never be a day that you are not in your Mom's heart & on my mind. I thank God for blessing me with you at the young age of 20…I can't imagine my very own young adult growing up years without having you in my life…you enriched our lives more than there are words to describe. Don't quit showing up Aaron, we need you! You already know we love you; always have and always will!

February 19, 2013

Salem resident Steven Myers continues to heal; physically & emotionally with ongoing community support …
Steven Myers & his Mom Norma returned to their home in Salem on December 1st after spending three months at the Shepherd Center in Atlanta, GA where Steven underwent intensive inpatient rehab followed by intensive daily outpatient rehab at Shepherd Pathways in Decatur, GA.
We have been blessed beyond words to be surrounded by support since August 13th, 2012 the day of the automobile accident that left Steven with a severe Traumatic Brain Injury and a life without his only brother Aaron Myers.
The support we received then & continue to receive is indescribable. We hear from family & friends (old, new & complete strangers) daily reminding us that we are not alone in this ongoing journey.
While Steven has a long road ahead of him we are thankful for his miraculous recovery so far. His days are full with doctor's appointments and rehabilitative therapy. We are thankful to have all major surgeries behind us with the exception of one out-patient surgery scheduled in February putting us closer to Steven being able to focus solely on meeting his rehabilitation goals which will ultimately put him closer to meeting his long term goals of returning to school and work. Steven's determination is admirable!
Adjusting to life at home has been challenging as we continue to navigate our way in attempting to find TBI/disability resources for Steven, ensuring we have the right healthcare providers & going through the appeal process with our insurance company for medical equipment! But, in the midst of these challenges we are reminded at how far Steven has come in only six months and we continue to find comfort in the reality of knowing that with God and the support from our Salem and Roanoke Valley family & friends we will get through each obstacle one day at a time!
Now that the family is back together we can start the grieving process individually but most importantly as a family.
While our lives are changed forever; one constant remains and that is your demonstration to us of love, faithful prayers, support & random acts of kindness. We are thankful, privileged & blessed to belong to a special & rare community; a community that still believes in reaching out to others in their time of need!
Speaking of our special community, Lakeside Baptist Church is holding a Benefit Concert for Steven on April 13th at 7:00 p.m. http://rkisermusic.com/index.html we hope to see you there!
There are also other fundraisers in the works. We will post details on http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/stevenmyers1/guestbook (stevenmyers1).
We sincerely thank you for your unwavering support! We honestly can't imagine getting through this life changing event without your support! We don't take you for granted! We thank God for you each day!

I can't believe it has been six months ago since you left this earth to take your place in heaven!!! I will never forget 4 years ago this coming weekend, you took a very excited girl out on a date to your Mom's favorite Restaurant, and one of my favorite Restaurant's also!!! Believe me, it was the best Valentine's I have ever had to this date!!! Glad I was able to have been a part in your life @ one time, and will always remember the memories!!!!

Whew, it has been a rough day so far, buddy. Missing you so much. Can't believe its been six months. It still seems like a bad dream. Someone wake me up, please. I know we are the ones who are so very sad that you are not here with us. I believe in my heart that you are so happy in heaven with our Lord. Miss you so much. Just wish we had you with us. Your smile was contagious and your hugs unbeatable. It is so hard to have family get togethers without you, but there is always a candle burning for you as a reminder of your presence with us. Love you buddy. Happy six month birthday with our Lord.

February 12, 2013

February 12, 2013

Dear Aaron,

I have felt the impact of your being in heaven more than ever! I don't know how I'm supposed to feel other than at a total loss. I don't know if the intensity of you not being here with us has anything to do with the six month date or if it is truly the reality of our earthly separation settling in. As I sat in your room this afternoon completely broken down attempting to explain to your dad how much I miss you as if he didn't already know; it was if I was paralyzed and then you sent me a message reminding me that I must get up & keep going for Steven. I won't let you down Aaron, but please know that you are the driving force behind Steven's determination. Without God using you to remind us that there is a plan in all of this to honor you & to use Steven to make a difference not only in his own life but in the lives of others we couldn't do another day!

I know God is allowing you to realize the impact you made in so many lives. I hear from family & friends daily about how much you are loved and missed. Doris shares precious stories with me about the days you worked together & how you positively impacted her days! When I hear from your buddies, Daniel, Lance & Kirk there is no doubt about how much they love and miss you & regret not spending more time with you. Our family misses you at every get-together; they all talk about how much they miss your contagious laugh for starters! Aunt Rose, April, Dennis, Rob & Jess are stepping in to ensure that Steven stays involved with family. Your Indy, WV, CO & Bristol (just to name a few) family miss you terribly! Our Lakeside family stay in touch to remind Steven that he has good positive friends & oh yes the Flippos & our entire CaringBridge family are on the scene reminding us that we are not alone! Steven has enjoyed getting to know our Shen Life peeps :) I know you are so proud of your lil bro for so many reasons! He misses his big brother so much!

As you know Steven, Dad & I share memories of you daily. You are with us no matter where we are or what we are doing. All we have to do is look at Rusty & we see you. Dad just said last night that he didn't realize until now how many “Aaron” trucks there are out there. When we hear a truck like yours in the neighborhood we all look at each other as if we are anxiously awaiting your return. Rusty still stands in your bedroom looking out your window as if he knows you will be home any minute. Steven still mimics you saying to Charlie, “Mommy is home,” and gets the same cute little tilt of his head that you always got.

You are everywhere son, some meals are so challenging to cook because I can hear the appreciation in your voice as you thank me for cooking. You never complained about my cooking, if it wasn't to your liking you would do the famous “doctoring it up” until it was to your liking & just like that you created a unique “Aaron” dish that oh yes you would try to duplicate until you came up with a true Aaron creation oh did I mention a creation that only you would eat!

I find myself looking for a note from you, just something to ease the pain. Yes, I have Aaron connectors, but these things while special are not the same as seeing your smile, hearing your voice, seeing you sleep in your room, smelling your fave cologne & seeing your name on caller ID.

I don't know how to do any of this without you but I do have peace in knowing that our Heavenly Father is taking care of you and will get me through each day so that I can complete my earthly God given special assignment while taking care of Dad & Steven until we are all together again.

Stay close to Mom buddy; keep sending the precious Aaron reminders! I don't take nature for granted! I plan to make you proud of me this spring as I spend time fishing in your fave spots. I know you will be cheering me on as I reel in the big one.

I love you so much. I'm thankful for the way to few but so very special years that we had together. I'm thankful that we were friends & understood forgiveness. Aaron, thank you for always being there for me! Thank you for making me laugh, for knowing when I was down & caring enough to cheer me up! Thank you for being the best son any parents could ever have! I sure wish I had told you more often how proud you made us…you were truly one of a kind very special hand-picked by God for us!

I'm so very proud to be your mother, always & forever! We love you buddy!

Aunt Rose Hutton

January 22, 2013

It is so hard to believe you have been in heaven for five and a half months. The time has gone by quickly, but the pain of missing you hasn't changed at all. I wish while you were here with us, you could have known all the lives you had impacted and still do today. Love and miss you.

Our sweet baby boy...so handsome!

Aaron, words cannot explain how I feel. My heart hurts so much because I miss you. You will always be in my heart and never forgotten. I will miss you at all our family get togethers. No one can make us laugh like you did. I know one day I will get to see you again and tell you how much I love you. I am so thankful for the years you were a part of our lives. It wasn't long enough. I miss those big bear hugs. Will miss all those hunting stories this year, but I know you are in heaven telling them over and over again. I love you.

Theres not a day that dont go buy i dont think of him especially know that my one week old daughter is here. He told me that we need to get her in hunting and fishing and he wanted to be called uncle aaron.
