Aaron Jenkins Obituary

Aaron Lee Jenkins April 24, 1948 - Nov. 1, 2019 Aaron Lee "Butch" Jenkins was born April 24, 1948 in French Camp, California to parents, Aaron Jenkins and Dorothy Hector. Aaron attended local SUSD schools, graduating from Edison H.S. class of 1966, excelling in sports. He went to San Joaquin Delta College earning his AA degree in 1968. While attending Delta College he excelled in basketball and was one of the members of the "Century Kids" basketball team. They earned the name for scoring over 100 points per game. Aaron set records in basketball and to this day, all but one, remains unbroken. To further the accomplishments of this team, every member went on to graduate from a 4 year college. This earned Aaron a full scholarship to Iowa State. He graduated from Iowa State with his Bachelor of Science Degree in Criminal Justice. Upon returning to Stockton, he was employed at Peterson Hall. He went on to the Public Defenders Office and retired after nearly 30 years. It was a job he truly loved. The highlight of his retirement was watching his grandchildren in sports and any other activity they were involved in. He was preceded in death by his father and mother. Left to cherish his memories are his first wife, Cassandra Vigil of Stockton; his current wife, Debra Jenkins; son, Aaron "Sean" (Nette) Jenkins of Stockton; daughters, Andrea (Joe) Navarro of Tracy, Angelica and Aaliyah Jenkins of Stockton; stepson, Derrick Humphrey of San Francisco; five grandchildren, Aaron "Tre" and Andrew "Drew" of San Jose, Joshua and Jessica Navarro of Tracy and Geremiah Kelly of Stockton; brother, Sam Archangel of Stockton; his favorite aunt, Mabel Garret of Los Angeles and numerous nieces, nephews, cousins and friends. Too many to list. Per Aaron's request there will be no public viewing or service.

Aaron and my Dad "Ed (Duck) Carver" worked together at Public Defender's Office. While working together they became good friends. Our families spent several 4th of July celebration together at my parents house watching the fire works at Legend Park from the front yard where my parents lived. Aaron had an infectious laugh and fun sense of humor! My Dad helped Aaron build a closet at Aaron's house and gave Aaron such a hard time about Aarons closet being bigger than our families living room. Aaron spent time at our house too helping re-roof my parents house. He got the biggest laugh out of my Dad walking off the roof backwards landing in the bushes under neath my parents bedroom window. He told my Dad while laughing uncontrollably "that's the biggest step I've seen you take since i met you"! Last time i spoke to Aaron was to let him know my Dad passed away June 2014. Aaron was a special friend to my Dad and our family! My thoughts and prayers are with Aaron's family and friends! R.I.P AARON you will be missed!

Aaron & I went to school together. I remember him being cool all the time and kind. The Lord is always picking from his garden and when he does it just means that there is another Birthday in Heaven. May God Bless the family with Peace & Understanding at this time. My heart is with all the family.

Love & respect,

To the entire family of Aaron Jenkins. I worked with him in the late 70' early 80's. He was so cool and amazing and taught me a lot about office politics and it has stayed with me always. Like a big brother to me. I didn't see him through the years but so sad to hear of his passing. My prayers are with the family at this time.
