It is with deep sorrow that we share the need of the untimely passing of our beloved Aaron Jenkins. Aaron died unexpectedly at the age of 36 on Thursday, February 6, 2025. 

Born in Denver, CO on August 15, 1988, Aaron graduated from Chaparral High School in Parker, CO in 2006 and subsequently pursued culinary studies in Seattle, WA. At the time of his departure, he was living in Aurora, CO. Aaron was an avid reader and traveler, he had a passion for all genres of music, and possessed a beautiful singing voice. He loved cooking, writing, visiting comedy clubs, and spending time with his family and friends. Aaron was known for his kindness, sense of fun, compassion, and thoughtfulness. He had a great fondness for animals, which were naturally drawn to him. With a warm smile, quick humor, and a generous heart, he will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him. 

He is survived by his mother, Awanda Potter; father, Keith Jenkins; brothers, Ryan Jenkins and Nick Jenkins; as well as his aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends.
