While we only were able to meet Aaron a few times (and wish we had been able to know him better) we can say what an awesome husband and father his brother Adam has been to our daughter Kathleen and granddaughter Matilda and imagine Aaron was just as spectacular. We are so sorry that this world was only able to experience Aaron’s obvious wit, kindness and love for such a short time.  Our deepest and most sincere condolences to all of the family and to the people whose lives he touched.

Godspeed Aaron
Jeff & Patty Burkhardt

Turn Again To Life

If I should die and leave you here a while,

Be not like others sore undone,

Who keep long vigil by the silent dust.

For my sake turn again to life and smile,

Nerving thy heart and trembling hand to do

Something to comfort other hearts than thine.

Complete these dear unfinished tasks of mine

And I perchance may therein comfort you.

Mary Lee Hall

Praying for you and wishing you peace at this time of deep and personal sadness.

In high school, Aaron was simply the nicest person. I always remember him smiling, having fun with friends, and just getting along with everyone. Such a joy and light to be around. I wish I could go back and hang out with him again. The whole Frost and Matuzak Family is thinking of Aaron and his entire family and will keep them in our thoughts and prayers.

John & Deeann

I remember all the fun times withe our hockey families. We were blessed to know Aaron. His smile lit up the room. His heart is so beautiful. He came with Stephanie to honor our Austin🙏 That’s who he is

God Bless you and your family. He will never be forgotten.

God bless your family and give you strength and comfort.  Aaron was sweet and funny and kind and, of course, so much more.  Sending love and hugs. 

Deal - it was truly a privilege to know you and have you as a friend for 18+ years. High school, college, pharmacy school, and beyond. You are so so missed. 

I don’t think I’ll ever be able to watch or listen to a musical without thinking of you, particularly the song “I’ll Cover You - Reprise” from Rent, which I will always think of as our song. 

You left such an imprint on this word and on so many of us. Love you and miss you.

So many good memories spending summers in Michigan!

John and DeeAnn and Adam, our thoughts and prayers are with you and your families.  While we only remember the boys from when they were much younger, we know how well you raised them and loved them.  Our hearts are broken with you. 

Love Rob and Lori Eggers

John and DeAnn raised two young men of character. Aaron was always other-centered. I have often used Aaron and Adam as examples of people who gave of themselves from a very early age. May the Deal Family rest with the sure hope that they will be together at the heavenly banquet table (awake the heavenly beer hall!!)  I send my love!

  1. I’m profoundly sad to learn of Aaron’s death. He brought that winning smile to second grade every day, and then again, 18 years later to the window at the pharmacy when I tried to argue, in spite of the facts, about my true date of birth for the prescription 

This contribution in Aaron Deal's name is sent on behalf of the Board of Directors and employees of Duro-Last Roofing, Inc. Our thoughts and prayers are with Aaron's family.
To Stephanie and the rest of the Deal family, our love is with you. Aaron was taken far to soon and there are no words to describe the void he leaves. I hope there is comfort in knowing he had such a positive impact on so many.

“…if I cry, it’s only a beautiful thing. This is all the unexpressed love, the grief that will remain with us until we pass because we never get enough time with each other, no matter if someone lives till 60, 15, or 99.”
Sending love and prayers to the Deal family ❤️ May God bless and comfort you 🙏  Rest in peace Aaron, you will be missed by all who knew you! ❤️
Aaron was an wonderful little boy and became an amazing young man. He had an awesome smile and could always make you laugh. My husband and Aaron couldn’t sit by each other in church or they would get into trouble. He was asked to stand up with Aaron when he made his confirmation and was so honored and proud. Stephanie and Aaron had a beautiful wedding and were so perfect together. I’m sure he’s in heaven keeping everyone smiling. Stephanie, DeeAnn, John, Adam, Kathleen and Family are in our thoughts and prayers. May God bless you and heal your hearts. Love, Steve and LuAnn
I was saddened to hear the news today. Although I haven’t seen or talked to Aaron in quite some time, he is a student from early in my teaching career whom I will always remember. He was such a smart, caring young man back at SSPP and beyond. Prayers for the entire Deal family and to Stephanie. 
I’m so sorry John, DeeAnn and Adam, and all the family.  You are in our thoughts and prayers.  He accomplished so much in the too short life he had.  God has welcomed him home🙏🏻❤️
My condolences to his wife, family and friends. I had the pleasure to work beside him at WakeMed hospital. I enjoyed every work day with him. I will hold on to our memories of listening to Disney music and his love for Hip-Hop and R&B music close to my heart. I'm going to definitely miss him. He was a great guy.
I have such fond memories of what a hilarious kid Aaron was. My heart breaks for you all. Hugs and love being sent your way.
We were devastated when we heard the news of Aaron's passing. Aaron was an awesome, talented, and dedicated pharmacist. While we don’t know how to make sense of this loss, we are grateful for the opportunity to know him. Sending Stephanie and Aaron’ and Stephanie parents and family members our hugs, love and prayers. May God comfort you.  
One of the nicest and most genuine guys I know. This world could use more men like Aaron. He will be missed dearly.
Aaron you are forever embedded in my heart as someone who could turn a frown on anyone into a smile.  You were the most optimistic person I ever knew.  You also were a prankster and a jokester who loved to ring the bell outside of my office.  You were great at sports, but you shined in the theatre.  You were able to lift anyone's spirit.  You also did lots of service even after you had completed your requirements.  I know that you are making people laugh again as each of us shares the memories of you.  Eternal rest grant to you, Aaron.  May God and all the angels welcome you warmly to the heavenly banquet table.

My childhood would not have been the same without you
Aaron, I will always remember you as one of the most good-natured, fun-loving young men with whom I had the pleasure of teaching at Nouvel Catholic Central. Your big smile, kind words and compassion were always generously shared with others.  May the perpetual light of Christ shine upon you Aaron. May peace, comfort, and all good memories of you fill the hearts of those who mourn your all too early passing from this life unto the next.  In Christ Jesus, I pray.
