Condolences to Aaron's family and friends. Me and Arron were Marine Corps roommates in aviation school in Millington Tn in 1981.  Careers and life took us in different directions but I have never forgotten the laughs and fun we shared early while stationed together. I last spoke to Aaron several years ago after I located him through a USMC veteran forum  and it was just like we had spoken the day prior. Today I believe God lead me to lookup my old friend which I did, only to learn of his passing. Rest well my friend, I will never forget you or the great times we shared. Until we meet again Semper Fi.

Arron was more then a friend, he was a brother to me , playing basketball every Saturday, walking during break time at work , sneaking hugs from him at his case as he fell for the same trick for 20 years . He was a one In a million person that everyone gravitated to ! The last 2 times I was in orange county I stop what I was doing and made time to take my dear friend to lunch , it was time well spent ! I always envisioned us growing old and talking on the phone of the good old days , he will be missed , but will always live on in my heart ♥️, peace my brother until we meet again 🙏🏻

It’s hard to find the right words at a time like this, because Aaron meant so much to all of us. Aaron was not just a friend; he was like family. His kindness, warmth, and laughter touched everyone he met. Whether it was a listening ear, a comforting hug, or a joke to lighten the mood, Aaron always knew just what to do to make those around them feel loved. I will never forget the memories we shared, talks, he always had wisdom filled words to say. Aaron taught me so much about love, loyalty, and living life to the fullest. He faced every challenge with courage, and his positive spirit inspired everyone. Though we are heartbroken, I find comfort in knowing that Aaron’s legacy lives on in each of us. Let us honor him by cherishing the memories, supporting one another, and living our lives with the same kindness and joy that Aaron brought into the world.

Rest in peace, dear friend. You will be deeply missed, but never forgotten.
