To the Gross Family,
I literally just found out about Aaron's passing:[ I went to Mitchell with him and I live in the neighborhood next to yours and though I hadnt spoken to him in a while, I will always remember going to math field day with him when we were litle and how he made everyone in our little group of friends laugh. He was such a positive and bright guy and I am glad I had the opportunity to know him. My thoughts and prayers are with your family<3

Aaron's quote on MySpace:
"You may have a fresh start any moment you choose, for this thing that we call "failure" is not the falling down, but the staying down"

I just recently heard the unfortunate news. I've known Aaron since I was a freshmen in 2004. Sad to see someone so genuine go. My thoughts are with his family and friends. You will never be forgotten.

I would like to offer our condolences. I worked at Mitchell Elem. and do remember your son. He was a kind and warm hearted individual. I lost my son due to accidental death in April of 2007. My son Aaron Joseph Smith also was 21 at the time of his passing. He also enjoyed and participated for years in BMX racing. The loss of a child is extremely difficult. I encourage your family and friends to cherish and hold Aaron's memories close to their hearts. I am truely sorry for your loss.
