I would like to take a moment to say it was a pleasure working with such a nice warm-loving gentleman. I was one of his secretaries in the Guidance office at Gaffney High and I think about him everyday and how things were when he was here. I will always treasure our short time as friends and coworkers. We had gone to Dorman High School together back in '98 and '99 also. The world is a better place because of Aaron Anderson. Miss you.

To the Anderson family,
Words cannot express how deeply sadden I am to learn of the untimely passing of a wonderful young man who made an impact on many. May God continue to heal your hearts as you try to navigate life without Aaron. I will miss his heart of encouragement and inspiration to others. He made a meaningful impact on me and our membership at Elon First Baptist Church during his time as a member there. He will forever be in our hearts. Be encouraged.

Aaron was a wonderful young man. He was more than a coach. He was truly a 'guidance counselor' in the truest sense of the word. Gaffney High School and even beyond will suffer for the loss. he was a mentor to young people from many different places. Good-bye my friend and fellow coach.

Family members,
I am grateful for the chance to have had Aaron as my close friend. It's been 13 great years of friendship that I have to hold onto. Many memories will forever be with me: the countless number of tennis matches we played almost EVERY DAY at Livingstone, the chess games, the LC marching band trips, our bond in Kappa Alpha Psi, the phone calls to talk about Table Talk, tennis, and his brothers and their music.
I hope and will pray that we all can come to accept the Lord's work because none of us were prepared for his death. I love Aaron and will miss him deeply too and I hope for God's grace to comfort the pain.

To the Anderson Family,
Not sure what to say to comfort you pain. I will start by saying I love all YOU for raising a son that became my brother in life and in the Bond of KAY. I can only try to understand the master plan, by thinking of all God's children he has touched. Your loved one left a mark on my life forever. So as I say good bye to Dr. Aaron A. Anderson I look forward to meeting the rest of my family in South Carolina. Love you all

To the Anderson Family, I had the joy of interating with Aaron when I worked in the Department of Human Development and Services at NC A&T SU when he was in his masters program (the Dept that houses the counseling program). Aaron was an honorable man and a joy to interact with. He often helped me plan events such as Disabilities Awareness Week. I am Blessed that I had the opportunity to know him. I will keep your family in my prayers.
