He was a good friend, who saved my life. Touched my life, and changed my life. Although I knew you in a different capacity, It seems everyone knew you the same way I did. KMA

I had the privilege of working many years with Aaron with the MDOC. Aaron was a very knowledgeable person who i enjoyed working with. Aaron was not only a great co worker, but a great person overall. When Aaron passed the world lost a great human being. Rest in peace my brother, you will be missed.
