we are so terribly sorry about Aaron's tragic death. Even though we didn't know him we felt sick to our stomachs when we heard the news. God has his reasons for what happens to us so just know his beautiful soul is in a peaceful place. Even though you can't see him he's your guardian angel and he will be by your side forever!!

I don't know Heather or Aaron. However, this has touched my heart and I've shed many years. They were in a Jack Russell group I belong to. He just looks like such a happy person someone you'd want to be friends with. Heather and Aaron look like they had an amazing life together. So very sad and I just want the family to know that they are in my prayers. God Bless you Heather, you are so very brave. I'm so sorry for this incredible loss.

Please accept my deepest and heartfelt sympathy and condolences. I first met Aaron when I onboarded him as a new employee at WYFF 4. His happy and easy going personality was so refreshing and immediately made conversation inherently pleasant. May the Lord comfort all of his family and friends in this time of trial.

Aaron was a great person and a wonderful co-worker. You never saw him without a smile on his face. I pray the family finds peace in knowing that not only did the WYFF4 family love & respect him, but the entire upstate community has shown a tremendous outpouring of love for him as well. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

Aaron was a great guy and will be missed. I had the privilege of hearing him call me "Pastor" for several years and he was a blessing every time we were together. In church, on the softball diamond, at a flea market or yard sale, or just sitting around the table, Aaron was a delight and my prayers are with you, his family, in your time of loss.

Dear Family, Please know that you and your families have been and will remain in our thoughts and prayers in the days, weeks, and months ahead as you make this transition in your lives. Aaron was a perfectionist at what he did and great at it. You could always see the love and passion he had for his job. Not many of us get to leave this world doing what we love. However, he did!!!! May you feel our Lord's presence in a mighty was as never before. Hold to the promise, that to be absent from this body is to be present with our Lord. Thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Sincerely,
Tracy Parris
