Aaron Umphrey Obituary

Aaron Matthew Umphrey

October 16, 1980

February 25, 2012

Aaron was a good, kind, generous man, quick to smile or to laugh at himself and just as quick to lend a hand to a friend. He was well loved and will be missed. As a teen he achieved the Eagle Scout Award with the Boy Scouts of America.

He is survived by his mother Judy Umphrey, Reno, father Ken Umphrey, Reno, and four siblings, Stephanie Heath of Loveland, Colorado, Brandon Umphrey, Reno, Emily Umphrey, Sparks and Sarah Umphrey, Reno. There will be a private memorial.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.

For the short time Dylan & I were blessed with your friendship, was enough time to know what a big heart you had. You did something for me at work that helped my family more than you knew and I never got the chance to thank you. Your great sense of humor got me threw some of the toughest nights at work and for that I definitely thank you. You will be missed so very much for so many reasons. Love and prayers from my family to yours

Aaron, a close and loved freind of myself and Cheryl. Now you are both gone from this world but will be with me forever. Your humor, generousity and care for others were only known by a few, but the stories we share will be told for many a year. I can't help but feel that my absence made a difference, we always talked when things were rough. My prayers and condolences to your family and others you have touched.

I hate that I didn't get a chance to say good bye to you. You were the brother I never had, but always wanted. I would got to the ends of the earth for you because I know you would do the same for me. I love you with all my heart and will miss you always!
