My condolences to Aaron’s family. We had fun as kids in Co. Springs and I’ve thought about all of you throughout the years. I’m praying for you all. 

Sincerely,

Billy 

While the miles kept us mostly apart, I was always excited to see my Colorado cousins!  There was always an easy going camaraderie with Aaron and we had alot of fun together.   I remember being excited to write him letters every now & then because back then we didn't have cell phones or FB.  LOL  

I talked to him many years ago, when he lived in St. Louis, and we eased into a fantastic fishing discussion and talked about his family and my family.  We made plans to get together for a fishing adventure but you know how life and work goes.  But it was fun to learn we shared the love of fishing and the love of family.  I imagine him hooking the biggest one yet, while his mom and dad and loved ones all cheer him on in heaven.   Gone too soon ...  but certainly deeply cherished and loved. :-)

I still remember the very first time I saw Aaron. He has made me laugh and smile since.  

   In 1987, I was 18,’ish, visiting from L.A. & Angela and I drove to Colorado Springs to see her family. When we pulled up to her house, Aaron (12) & Jason were in front doing funny dances for us- cabbage patch, start the mower, stir the soup- all the classics with their hilarious spin on it.

 Aaron will always live in my memory as someone who grew up to be a kind, clever, hilarious, handsome man who brought many years of joy to Angela and her family, though cut way too short. He is dearly missed and life for his family and close friends will never be the same.  

I was blessed to have him as my brother. I already miss his quick wit, one liners and endless puns. I will miss our Weekend Fun Days of going to the dog park, eating hot dogs, shopping the sales and then wrapping up our day with picking out a movie to chill with the dogs on the couch.

Aaron, my love for you will heal my broken heart until I am with you again. xoxo 381 - Love, Ang
