I am deeply hurt to hear this news. I went to Northern for three years, and was only a grade ahead of Aaron. I ran track with him and always thought very highly of the guy. May his family make this a time for grieving and reflection and know that many others feel the same. My love goes out to friends and family.

Our thoughts and prayers are with your family in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort. I remember Jordan rushing to be on time picking Aaron up for school! He didn't want Aaron to worry that he wasn't going to be there. Jordan greatly valued their friendship.
