Aaron Petersen Obituary

Aaron Petersen, our loving son, and a huge part of his Mother and Dad's heart, left us on February 14, 2009. Aaron Petersen was born March 17, 1988 to Patrick and Beth Petersen. He was a graduate of Del City High School. He enjoyed spending time with his mother, bowling, camping, movies, fishing with his dad, the beach, listening to music, and playing the on-line computer game "World of Warcraft." He loved to laugh, and joke around he aggravated his sister when he could, but that's because he loved her dearly. He simply enjoyed spending time with his family. Family always came first for Aaron, and his Mother was the most important person in his life. He loved his sister Lauren, and tried to look out for her when he could. Aaron worked hard in the oil field equipment repair business, as a fishing tool specialist. Aaron was preceded in death by his Grandpa Petersen, his Grandma and Grandpa Wilkins and an uncle, Byron Wilkins. He is survived by his parents: Patrick and Beth his sister, Lauren and Grandma Petersen and many aunts and uncles, cousins, and other dear friends, who thought the world of him. He has left such a deep hole in everyone's heart that can never be filled again. He will be missed more than words can ever express. Services will be at 1:00 pm, Wed., February 18, 2009 at Barnes Friederich Funeral Home Chapel, Pastor Mark Elam officiating.

My dear precious Aaron! It's hard to believe that you've been gone for 3 and a half months. Ashley Parham has joined you now. You two will be great friends. I found it weird that you both have the same initials. She comes from a wonderful family who will miss her as much as we all miss you. I love you!

I baked you a cake but couldn't bring myself to eat it so i just threw it away. I love you Aaron I always will and miss you terribly I wish there was something I could have said or done.. Until we meet again honey you'll be with me always

Wishing I could have done something more...

All I can do now is say that I am sorry you are gone. I am sorry to Aunt Beth and Lauren for not being able to form the words that need to be said to comfort them in their time of grief. I am sorry I couldn't be there for people to cry on my shoulder. Most of all I am sorry I wasn't there for you, Aaron. I just wish I could have done more...

May you have peace. My prayers are with you Aunt Beth and Lauren. I am sorry.

Pat, Beth, and Lauren; We cannot imagine the loss that you are having to deal with. We love Aaron with every ounce of our being, and will forever feel the void now that he has gone to heaven.

My Monkey,

Losing you has left such a HUGE void in my heart. We had a bond that I will treasure always. You and your sister Lauren were the reason I managed to breathe each and every day. I haven't quite figured out how to go on without you in my life but I promise you I will take good care of Sissy. Until we're together again my baby, know that your with me ALWAYS!! Momma will see you soon.
