He was a native of West Bend, Iowa, a member of St. James Catholic Church and an owner and general manager of Homestead Family Farms. Aaron had a passion for his faith, his family and the agriculture industry. His determination and strength always were evident, but especially during his 17-year journey with ALS.
Survivors include his wife, Ashley Carr Reding; three children, Kathryn, Andrew and Adam Reding; his parents, Mark and Barbara (Ohde) Reding; three brothers, Mike (Melissa) Reding, John Reding and James Reding; five sisters, Kathy (Eric) Bergren, Anna (Jason Putt) Reding, Ellen (Matt) Falk, Sarah (Eric) Bartley and Sr. Nazaret (Mary) Reding.
The funeral is at 1 p.m. Tuesday, April 19, at St. James Catholic Church in Elizabethtown. Burial follows in St. Ann Cemetery in Howardstown.
Visitation is from 2 to 8 p.m. with a prayer vigil and sharing of memories at 7 p.m. Monday and continues from 10 a.m. to noon Tuesday at Brown Funeral Home in Elizabethtown.
