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 drum teacher Kris loved Aaron. His influence on drums was rock solid. I was fortunate enough to see his amazing performance at Zildjan 400. Fly high ❤
