Aaron Ball Obituary

Ball, Aaron James "Spud"
Apr 23, 1986 - Jan 14, 2012

Aaron was the beloved and cherished son of James and Stephanie Ball. Aaron will be Laid to Rest in Montrose, CO, a place he frequently visited since childhood, loved dearly, and recently made his home. Montrose is surrounded by the majestic San Juan Mountains where Aaron enjoyed kayaking the rivers, fishing its streams, and four-wheeling the mountain trails. Aaron is survived by his parents; sisters, Melissa (Robb) Steffes, and Allison (Noel) Larrieu; grandmother, Margaret Ball; numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, and dear friends. He was preceded in death by grandmother, Rose Daniels; and grandfathers, Stanley Daniels and Francis Ball.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that Masses be said in Aarons' honor at the Church of the Holy Spirit, 520 S. 18th Street Plattsmouth, NE 68048.

It broke our hearts to lose you, though you did not go alone...a part of us went with the day God took you home.

In life we loved you dearly, in death we love you still, in our hearts you hold a place that no one will ever fill
