I remember you knew anything and everything there is to know about airplanes. When you would come visit, I would ask you about a plane flying by just to watch your face light up and listen to how much information you could provide about it.

To my only nephew and wonderful man, I miss you so much. I remember the summers at my home when you came to stay with us. So much laughter and love. You had enough energy for all of us. Your smile was so beautiful it warmed everyone that met you and everyone that met you loved you. I'll see you one day and hug and kiss you again. With all my love, Aunt Pat

I just found this website. Aaron is my cousin. Growing up I lived in MS and he in FL, and thanks to my Mom and Aunt Linda, we spent a lot of time together throughout the years. Aaron and I were very close growing up. We did get to spend a little time together a few years before his death when he lived in MS. I am very thankful for those times. I will never forget his laugh. We used to laugh a lot. I have a lot of memories that I will share as they pop up in my mind. I am so sad that he is gone and miss him.

My dearest Aaron,
Three years ago tonight you left this world. Even though you couldn't hear me, I kissed you and told you how much I love you. Even though you still can't hear me, I tell you every hour of every day how much I love you and miss you. Life is so hard without you. Everyone misses you so.

I wasn't near a computer on Tuesday. In a way I think that was a good thing. My boyfriend, who I hope Aaron would approve of, told me that I needed to remember Aaron in a positive way, instead of sitting in my room crying. I think he was right. I know Aaron would want all of us to remember him laughing and smiling and filling our hearts with a smile. I miss him so much and will never forget him.
Love Jess

Last day with Aaron, one year ago today, Thursday, January 8, 2009--the last time we were together.
Audrey, you and I went shopping at Gander Mountain. When I came into your view inside the store, you said "Mom, I did a double-take you looked like a model coming around the corner--then I realized it was my Mom." (You always made me feel good about myself! You always noticed and complimented me on everything.)
Audrey had lunch there. Then, we went to your ranch and rode out into the Everglades on the John Deere Gator. You showed me all the places you went and told me repeatedly how you loved your place. You seemed so happy.
You had thawed some of the alligator you had killed and wanted to cook it for me. But, I didn't have time; I had to go to pick up Michael. I can still see you holding the alligator meat--I've wished every day I could share it with you.
When I was leaving, you took me across the road to meet your neighbor, Mike. I was driving the new Corvette Michael had gotten for my birthday; and when I drove up (you had walked across), you told Mike I was delivering the car to him. We all laughed; but there was something in your laughter that wasn't right. I just couldn't put my finger on it. Now, I wish I had questioned you.
A young man who had only met you at my house a couple of times asked about you Wednesday. You made such an impression on everyone who came into contact with you. When I told him, I teared up; and he said you wouldn't want me to be sad. I know this is true; but I'm still having a hard time coping with the fact that I'll have to spend the rest of my life never seeing you, hearing your voice, or feeling your arms around me. You made such an impact in my life; and you were such a joy to be around. Everyone who knew us knew how special our relationship was. I still need you; I always will. My heart aches every day for you.
When loved ones die out of order, everything gets confused. You were supposed to be with me for the rest of my life--I should have died before you !!
LOVE MOM

Today is Christmas, and again I am thinking of my big brother....
I will never forget the years that we had on Christmas morning, when he would wake me up out of bed letting me know that Santa had come. We would look over the balcony and see what was there, and hurry down stairs together. It is days like these that even though I know he is gone, apart of him is still with me pushing me to smile and remember things like this.
It was a year ago today, that I last spoke to Aaron. I know he is looking down on us and wishing us all a Merry Christmas....
I love you Aaron...Merry Christmas

I met Aaron about ten years ago in Ft Lauderdale, FL. I was living in an apartment just off Broward Blvd. I had recently moved from Louisiana, and was already having a bit of a difficult time finding my place in this city. Aaron was visiting my immediate neighbor and needed help getting in to the buidling, so I let him in and we rode the elevator back up, together. He started talking to me, and being a persistant person, found his way in to my apartment. Many hours later, hours of just him talking and me listening... he found his way in to my heart, forever.
Aaron spoke and he kindled something inside of me. I had heard many speak before, but never had just sat there in awe, hoping it would never stop. I think it was the heart from which he spoke. A heart full of virtue: loyalty, faith, and honor. He made me believe again. I had not known how far off track I was in my life at that time. He was a gentleman, a hero, and a warrior. I believe he made it as far as he could. He faught the "good fight" as The Bible says. He fought hard and with courage. The Bible goes on to tell of a crown that is reserved for people like Aaron. A crown reserved for him and on the day of judgement, all rewards (for people like this) will be handed out, and they will get to live not only forever, but forver in a place where there are no longer any corruptive things or substances. Aaron deserves this.
Aaron spoke of things and people he loved. He spoke of justice and how he loved justice, fought for it, and how many times he was sad because he saw so little of it in this world. He spoke of his mother and his sister and how he loved them both dearly. You can always tell good people by how they care for their family. His love for his family is and was enduring. I am honored to be a part of these peoples' lives. My life would never be the same without them, and I can only thank God every day that we know each other.
Thank you, Mrs. Lynda, for keeping Aaron's memory alive here on this site. You've got to be one of the best mothers ever.
Love, Natalie S.

Happy Birthday, Dearest Aaron,
When they put you in my arms 33 years ago, I had everything I wanted. Beautiful Ashley and you--my second dream come true. We had a film (8mm) of that; and I had the most blissful look on my face. I've played it over and over in my mind thousands of times since it burned in 1988. Papaw and Mimi were so proud; you were their first and only grandson. They got on a plane immediately.
I took balloons and flowers to your grave today; Audrey asked if you were going to have cake. haha
In looking through some of your things that Melissa gave me, I found the birthday card I gave you last year. It put into writing everything I had told you through the years about how special you are to me. I am touched that you kept it. Some people have told me when they lost a loved one there were so many things that had been left unsaid. I don't have those regrets with you--I told you frequently. I do have regrets about the things we didn't get around to doing--like going to Greece--which you and Ashley wanted to do when you were 4 and 5 years old after seeing pictures in my art book.
Even though we always said, "love you" and "love you, too" when we said goodbye on the phone, on January 13 you said, "I love you, Mom" and I replied, "I love you, too, Aaron". This was such a heartfelt exchange (you remember the circumstances); I can still hear the inflection in our voices. I play this over and over in my mind.
I miss you so much; there are so many things I want to share with you.
David's mother and I spoke to one another last night. She told me that after seven years, she and David have a way of communicating; she asked him if you were with him and okay. He confirmed you were. As close as you and I are, I know if there is a way of communicating from the "other side" you will. I look for signs every day.
LOVE MOM
Perfect day on the ocean

Happy 33rd Birthday, Aaron.
Like Jess, I'm writing a day early. I think of you every minute of every day--I miss you so much. Michael is having his defibrillator replaced tomorrow--how ironic--I wish he could have gotten your heart.
Remember my psychologist friend, Kristin. You know she is also into the metaphysical branch of philosophy--she told me that organ recipients sometimes take on the characteristics of their donor. When she told me this, I wrote to your recipients and told them how wonderful you were--how you would go out of your way to help people, how you would never tolerate cruelty to anyone, about your great sense of humor (we always said you should have been a stand-up comic). I also told your recipients not to be surprised if they find themselves becoming much better human beings than they were before. The transplant team is only able to keep me advised of the organ recipients--you helped so many people with your cornea, tissue, bone marrow, etc.--it is impossible to know how many people you helped in death as well as in your short life.
A huge part of me died with you Aaron. I will never recover from losing you. Since you and I spoke to one another every day, I still have a split-second of anticipation when the phone rings hoping that it will be you.
If you are looking down on and watching out for us, as so many people believe, please help me deal with this horrible pain.
You know how much I love you, MOM
September 21, 2009
With Aaron's birthday only two days away, I have been thinking of him more and more. He was such a great big brother. It has been really hard not being able to call him on the phone and hear the same "Hey Jess!" that I heard before. I know that he is looking down on us. Watching and laughing and making sure we are ok. That's what he always did. He wanted to make sure that everyone was ok. I am not sure if I am going to be able to post something on Wednesday, so I am doing it now. Happy birthday Aaron. I love you and always will....Thank you for being the best big brother I could ever ask for.
Love Jess

Dear family and friends of Aaron,
Just this afternoon i was searching on my PC when i found some pictures of Aaron. And i thought: "how will he be doing?" Just a short time we have corresponded with eachother and i never will forget his letters!
So i typed his name on Google and till my surprise i found this website...
It is with a big shock to read that he has died. How sad! How sad for you as his mom, his wife, his sweet little daughter and his family and friends. Please accept my sincerest condolence. I pray that the Lord God may comfort you all and will give you the strenght to cope with all the pain and grief.
I will remember Aaron as a very nice, friendly, loyal friend and correspondent.

I was so excited to start looking online to find Aaron, and when I found this site, my heart felt so incredibly heavy. We met in middle school and I fell head-over-heels for him. We became fast friends, even going to a middle school dance together (he brought me my first flowers). He was so polite and kind...and yet we would have so much fun getting into small time trouble. He used to sneak his boat out and come over to a friends house, where we'd sit on the dock and do nothing but watch stars and tell secrets. We caught up again, many years later, but it was a brief encounter. I will always remember Aaron and that twinkle he had in his eyes. If anyone in his family would contact me, I'd be grateful.

Hi Lynda,I didn't know Aaron very well, mostly smoking cigs together at the office or eating togther at the office! We talked a little about his life but not much about mine and still he was always sweet to me and gentelmanly! I would have to say I have spent more time with his daughter Audrey in her short life than Aaron in all the 15 years I knew him.....she is beautiful and truly the best legacy of himself that he left for us to enjoy and cherish always.
Love Always Pamela Trupia

I met Aaron only a few short months ago. We were crafting his new business website and running around the property shooting horse trail videos for it - having a blast while doing it. While we road around we talked of many things and seemed to share a lot of our outlook about many things in life.
It was very obvious that he enjoyed his family and home very much.
I was glad to have found another friend in the crazy world.

I remember when we were really young and we were in the drive way of the Godfrey Rd House, old house, and we wanted to become blood brothers, so we both cut our arms and exchanged our blood bond.
When I would sleep over, there was always great food at the house. HE would always let me raid the pantry and eat all the chocolate bars I wanted!
I would come over to the house and we would drive the riding lawn mower around through the woods and the trail in the back. One day I got this great idea that we would take Dr. Benjamin’s big blue tractor out. That took some time, but we managed to hot wire it. Once we took off, we couldn’t stop it. Sorry , I can’t tell you the rest of that story……..
Aaron would always let me fish in the front pond, even though Mrs. Benjamin had her pet Koi fish. He would make sure she wasn’t home.. It was the best fishing hole. He always told me there was a Mongoose Bike in the south end of the pond. He would trick me into jumping in to find the bike. Unfortunately, I couldn’t reach the bottom, so I’ll never know if there was one down there.

I first met Aaron when he moved in down the street from me in Coral Springs, FL. Everyone has already described Aaron's amazing qualities. He always stuck up for people who could not stick up for themselves. I never saw him deny help to another person in need. I must admit that I cracked a smile reading about his mischievous eyes. That usually meant something fun, exciting, and/or adventurous was about to happen. It sounds like the usual things you would hear, but with Aaron his passion for the people around him truly dictated his every action. He was a caring person! It does not surprise me to hear that even in death Aaron helped others through the donation of his organs. From little kids riding the bus to middle school to carpooling to high school, Aaron was a big part of my childhood. I can't think of a single time he hurt someone close to him with words or actions.
Aaron will always be remembered in my prayers.
God Bless

Lynda and I have been friends since the summer we graduated from high school. I helped her pack for her Florida move and waved good bye to her with tears in my eyes on her departure day.
I still see the smile on her face and the love in her voice when she told me about Aaron's birth. I can still see the love Lynda expressed for both of her children and the bond they each possessed.
I see Aaron the little child with crinkling myschevious eyes whose Mother would call me late at night to scream into the phone, " You will just not believe with Aaron got into day and dragged Ashley right into his trouble!" In her next breath would be another story about how loving and caring Aaron could be. As an adult I saw the love Aaron had for his Mother in a look across a dinner table. I heard the love in his voice when he spoke of his wife and their unborn child. I saw the shine in his face when he talked about his sister and I felt his exuberance for life and the loved he expressed for his family and friends.
When I look into the sky right after the sun goes down, I see the brightest star in the sky - Aaron looking down on each of us, keeping us safe, wanting us each happy and continuing to be the loving, kind, caring individual he became.
Thank you Aaron, for all the love yo openly displayed for your Mother, wife, daughter sister and all your friends.
And thank you for the time you shared on this earth with each of us.
