As Aaron's illness progressed Rodney took on the role of healthcare advocate bringing him to treatments and medical appointments and advocating for him. And of course taking him out to eat Aaron's favorite pastime eating. They definitely had a special relationship. Thank You for everything you did for making Aaron's journey easier.

He fought like a warrior for the last 7 years against brain cancer always with a positive attitude and a contagious smile.

Fly High Aaron you have gained your wings and are now free of cancer, seizures and pain. Your smile , laugh and memorable voice will be missed but we know you are in the Lord's hands cheering on your Red Sox , 49ers and your nascar drivers and of course looking for someone to play scrabble with.

The family would like to thank the staff at Vanderman Place for the loving care and support you gave him throughout his rehabilitation and his final days.
