To the Hackett Family: I am so sorry for your loss. Aaron was an incredible person --extremely kind and intelligent. I went to high school with Aaron at ORHS and we both worked as college hires for Bechtel in Oak Ridge, TN. Aaron was one of the kindest people I have ever known. He always had an unbridled joy that was infectious. I've always regarded Aaron as an exceptional person--personally and professionally....a sentiment shared by many. He made a great impact in this world...one that will be carried on by his family, his children and his community. Prayers for strength and peace to you all.

A fun brother to be around from his wonderful smile to infectious laugh. One of the many things I loved about Aaron was he had a way of sharing wisdom and advice that everyone could easily receive. He always wanted to help those around him achieve to their potential. He will be greatly missed.

Aaron was my colleague in the Marketing Area at Scheller. We would frequently run into each other in the hallways of the College. Every single time I saw him, I was struck by three things: his instantaneous, infectious smile, his enthusiasm for everything, and his dedication to contribute to people around him. We have lost an amazing teacher, a great colleague, and a wonderful human being. Much, much too early. May his soul Rest in Peace. May his family find comfort in the memories of pleasant times spent with him.

Professor Hackett was one of my favorite professors at Scheller. I remember gaining so much from his class especially his “I am a brand” project. He inspired me and my classmates to think of what makes us who we are and instilled confidence in us to bring our uniqueness to our endeavors. I feel so lucky to have connected with such a great educator and person

I am very sorry for the family’s loss. Big Brother Aaron and I met in 1992 at UT Austin when I joined him in Brotherhood in Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity. Before our years in the Fraternity, I remember, seeing Aaron around campus and thinking, that is someone I want to meet. Even back then, Aaron had a recognizable brand, and I would come to learn that his welcoming smile is genuine. Great Man. Great Brother and Friend. Thank you for welcoming me. YITB

Professor Hackett was one of my favorite professors at GA Tech. Such a great teacher & most importantly a great human! I'm so happy that I had the pleasure of taking his class. His representation as one of the only black professors of the instituition was inspiring and necessary. My heart and prayers go out to his family & friends. May you all revel in the warmth of his memory.
