A family statement read: “Aaron was a loving son, brother, uncle, and friend. He loved running, so in high school he joined the Cross Country Team. He was dedicated to his physical fitness, so he never smoked or did any drugs or anything that would hinder his fitness performance. He enjoyed hiking and anything that put him in the outdoors. He loved to read and also had a passion for Shark Week. Aaron was the type of kid who made everyone smile, especially his little niece Rachael Grace, who loved to spend time and play with her uncle. He will be deeply missed.”
