Jessica and August- I´m so sad to hear about your beloved hubby and dad. August- your mom lit up when she talked about your dad- she was so in love and when you came into the world- her world was complete. The terrific trio! May his memory always be a blessing- hold those memories close! Sending my deepest condolences.

I remember when I saw Aaron's drum solo for Modern drummer , with the other drummers who were there . I was so proud of my brother from my home town of Washington DC. I am also a drummer. I was older than Aaron. I'm still wondering if I actually saw him one time at a church in DC , where my church at the time were guest. I remember a young guy , who made sure that he could do any fancy tricks that any drummer presented him with. When I saw him I knew that he had a desire to be a good drummer. I'm still not sure , but I am so proud that he turned out to be a GREAT drummer. RIP my brother with love!!! Cliff

My name is Jackie Jenkins. I remember the first day that Aaron wanted me to teach him to play the drums. He loved the drums. He enjoyed it thoroughly. He learned well. God bless you, Aaron you will always be missed in my heart.
