Dear Steve and Family,
I am so sad to hear of your loss- your son's picture and description are the epitomy of his father. I am sure he will be remembered for that amazing warm and friendly smile, just as you always have been. Know that you and all of your family are in my thoughts and prayers, with support from "home".

Steve and Kathy,
It is hard to believe that we have lost one of our "Deerfield boys".
Aaron was a joy to know. I don't even have to close my eyes to see him running around, playing, smiling, laughing, shooting hoops, squirting water guns, and hanging out in the cul de sac from age 10 on.
The ceremony was nice, but it was Steve's sister in particular that reminded us of the wonderful and happy person that Aaron will always be in our memories.
We mourn for your loss. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to know such a wonderful boy and man.
With loving thoughts.

In My Pocket
I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.
My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.
They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.
Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.
But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

Kathy and Steve, I am truely sorry for your loss, Aaron. I was really,really shocked when Tomo and I saw the Aaron's picture at the grandparents home on Easter Sunday and then told my family. During I was seeing Aaron's picture, my mind went back to 22-3 years ago quickly and I can remember old memories of four boys on costumes at Halloween time. You are so proud of Aaron. I am very sad that I didn't see grown up Aaron before. I sent to you the Christmas card one time but it came back. When you are settled please contact me. Aaron will be truely missed. Love from Ron ,Masami ,Tomo and Teru

It was with great sadness that we read about the death of Aaron. I still remember Aaron as Stacie’s classmate in early grade school as well as preschool. We remember him as a very kind boy with a big smile. It sounds like he stayed that way through out life. He must have made you very proud. Our sincere condolences to your entire family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dear Shulte Family,
I can not even express to you how much I have missed all of you tremendously since Aaron and I's graduation. Whenever I was having a hard time or my faith in man-kind was lost, I always remembered you and our Aaron and it always made feel better. Your kind-ness to me and Aaron's friendship and love is my favorite high school memory. My biggest regret in my life is not keeping in touch with Aaron after high school. I will never forget all of the very meaning full memories I have of him. I love all of you and I am here for all of you. Tell the boys to contact me if they just need to talk. Take Care and all my love. Britt

I have never met you all but Aaron spoke of you often, my name is Jodi and I work in the Ped's ICU at Mary Bridge. We both fell in love with a particular patient a year ago and I always looked forward to seeing him because it meant that this little baby was going to be held. He developed a strong bond with several of our return patients and made a lot of other patients smile. Aaron was always so happy to be here and gave so much of his time to the kids at Mary Bridge. I am sure you aleady know but you all should be proud to have had a hand in the wonderful man Aaron was. I will always think of him when I have a child without family and wish he could be here to hold and comfort them. If you ever need a happy story I'd be glad to tell you some about him! Thank you for him! He will be truely missed. Love, Jodi

Dear Schulte Family,
I am so sorry for your loss. Aaron was the most inspirational, caring and humble man. I am blessed to have been able to spend so many great college memories with him. He truly always had one foot in heaven... he was so christ like in all his ways. Aarons light and unconditional love for life will always be present in all who knew him. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers. Thank you for blessing the world with such a wonderful person.

Steve and Kathy,
It was with great sadness that I read of the death of your wonderful son, Aaron. I remember fondly his kindergarten and early grade school years at Mark Twain when he was our son David's favorite school friend. I will also remember his cute smile and what a great laugh he had. David's favorite year playing soccer was the year he played with Aaron. I'm so happy the boys were able to visit after you moved to Lake Oswego. I searched the house today looking for photos of David and Aaron. I guess I was too busy enjoying them to get the camera out.
I'll never forget the time Aaron came over to play with David while the Oberhofer girls (with the chickenpox) were playing with our daughter! I was so afraid he'd been exposed at our house.
You must be so proud of Aaron. It sounds like he grew to be a wonderful and successful young man.
My heart is filled with sadness for your loss. There is no greater loss than that of a child.
When our David died I didn't know how I could go on. Amazingly, though, I have. With time the pain is not as acute. While not a day goes by that I don't miss my son, I have joy in my life again.
As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life’s routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.
