Aaron was born to Tom and Karen (Krings) Stephenson on July 26, 1977, in Omaha. He grew up in Central City, and graduated from Central City High School in 1996. While in high school, he became an EMT for Central City. He worked part time for Elton King in the summer and the Central City Mall.
He attended Creighton Paramedic School and then worked for Rural Metro. Aaron then worked for Rural Metro in Lincoln. He transferred to Rural Metro in Fort Worth, Texas where he met and married Jody Stephenson on June 14, 2003.
He moved to San Diego and worked at AMR and recently worked for Occupational Services.
Aaron's dedication to saving lives as a paramedic continued on by him saving other lives as an organ donor.
Aaron enjoyed leatherwork, cooking, and soap box derbies where his son competed at nationals in Akron, Ohio. He was a "jack of all trades." He was involved in his kids FFA activities, and coached his daughters in soccer and his son in Little League Baseball.
Those left to cherish his memory are his parents, Tom and Karen Stephenson of Central City, his children; Brandon Stephenson of Central City, Aaralyn Stephenson of Lakeside, Calif., and Bryleigh Stephenson of Lakeside, Calif.; his brothers; Jason Stephenson of Burnsville, Minn., and Kevin Stepheson of Central City; and the mother of his children, Jody Stephenson of San Diego.
He was preceded in death by his grandparents, Lydia and Earl Stephenson, and Lillian Krings, his uncle; Michael Stephenson; and numerous cousins.
