Aaron Anderson Obituary

Aaron Anderson
Williams Arizona
Our beloved Aaron was taken away to live with God 10-19-16. Aaron passed away in a tragic car accident. I never expected to be writing an obituary for my extraordinary husband of 23 years. I was supposed to be writing to Chip Foose and getting Aaron's vehicle overhauled. I am going to write this like I am writing Overhaulin'. Aaron has told me it is easier to do it this way.
Aaron was born to a gentle mother and father who raised him in Santa Cruz, California - a place that is truly heavenly and the perfect place to raise an angel. Aaron was a quiet sensitive boy and grew into a big strong sensitive man. So thank you, Wayne and Diane Anderson, Mom and Dad!
Aaron was a brother to Amy-Anne who entered the world with a bang in 1976, when Aaron was eight. He was protective and loved her to the ends of the Earth. He has his arms around the both of us now - our protector! Aaron was humble and would never in his wildest dreams had known the effect he created here on Earth. When he walked into a room, he was truly the light. Aaron's love for animals and the care he showed for them are a testament to how very evolved he was. Aaron left us all behind but he is not gone and he would want his message to be kindness always first. I could fill pages with words, but thats all I have. I can only hope that for you, you were lucky enough to meet him. Chip Foose, this letter does not do him justice, but if you need a hero to fix up a car for and donate to St. Judes in Aaron's name, that would be fine. It's a K5 Blazer.
He will be remembered by all his family and friends. A Celebration of Life is scheduled for 4p.m. November 12, 2016 at Wild West Junction in Williams Arizona. Bring your stories and laughter, because Aaron was never about tears.

My sincerest condolences to the Anderson family. May the "God of all comfort" be with you during this difficult time. James 1:13.

My heartfelt sympathies go out to the family and friends during this difficult time. I hope that the promise in 1 Thessalonians 4:14 can bring comfort. Knowing that there's a hope for the ones we have lost in death can be so reassuring.

I am so sorry to hear of the tragic loss of your loved one. May you be comforted and strengthened during those times where grief and sadness seem to overcome you (1 Peter 5 : 7 ).
