Memories
From Carrie Spring
So many memories of my beautiful cousin Aaron. I always looked forward to family get togethers for the stories I knew I would hear and that laugh....I never could get enough of that laugh. I still hear it now echoing in my heart. I will miss you always.
From Tina Howard
It breaks my heart to hear that your life here on earth was cut so short. I will never forget all of the times that you made me laugh so hard when we were younger with all of your funny stories. I pray that your family will find comfort through this difficult time knowing that you are in a better place. I know that when I talked to you on facebook a few years ago, you went on and on about how proud you were of your kids and I know how much you loved them. It made me happy for you that you were being a great father. You will be missed and your laughter and smile will never be forgotten. -Tina

From Bill Fox
As Aaron's ex father-in-law I am saddened at his sudden passing. I have many good memories of him playing around with the kids, duck hunting on those stormy days, laughing together at the Sequim Game Farm and spending family time together on Eliza Island. While no one can fill the void caused by the loss of a parent, grandma and I will be there to help you, Lindsay and Logan, get through this tragic loss.
From Matt Obermueller
I have fond memories of growing up with Aaron and can remember many fun times we shared during middle and high school. Aaron had a fun nature and an infectious laugh, I know he will be greatly missed. May God Bless his family and loved ones during this time of loss.
From Carissa Conour
I too knew Aaron from our class of '87's time together at Meridian. Once in a blue moon we would run into each other at the grocery or hardware store and catch up. I read in the paper today of his passing and was shocked. With great sorrow my sympathies go out to his family and close friends. My memories of Aaron at school were all fun and the tricks n' jokes he'd play on the teachers or classmates will stay with me forever. With a heavy heart I feel right now, his time was too short.
From Lisa Tutterrow
I went to school with Aaron's sisters, and did'nt really know Aaron well, until I married Bob. Since then though I came to consider Aaron a good friend. What a great guy! He seemed to always bring smiles to the faces around him. I will always smile when we talk about him. The stories are always very funny. He was very kind and would not ever have wanted to hurt the feelings of anyone. My thoughts are with his family. I am certain that Aaron will long be remembered with smiles by all who have known him,
From Laura Hopp
Aaron... you were my best friend, my first-love, my husband, and the father of my wonderful children. Who knew when we met at the drive-in at age 16 that we would go on to build our lives together? Your infectious fun-natured personality and laugh drew me in; you taught me what fun really was. We had many happy years filled with incredible friends and family; we worked hard and played hard; we had our ups and our downs and after our 22 years together you will always have a special place in my heart. Know that I will always try to parent our children with you in mind and keep your memory alive with them. You will be missed. Goodbye my beloved Hon, rest in peace. All my love, Laura.

I remember Aaron from my childhood. He was a great guy with a hearty laugh & smile. Years later I was introduced to his son, Logan, who became one of my son's friends. Striking resemblance to his father and wonderful boy. My heart goes out to you Logan and your family at this time. May you hold onto the good memories that you shared together in your heart forever. Love, Todd, Leah & Tim

I miss you so much pops, well we all . So many things went unsaid while you were here but never got the chance to say them. So here it goes. Aaron no words can describe the happiness you brought my mom, me and every ones life you had entered. Your smile could light up the room and it did. Your laugh was unforgettable and will be forever missed. I was talking to my mom yesterday and we talked about the day you asked my permission to marry my mom and to this day my answer will forever remain the same. I would of been honored to have you marry my mom and be even more apart of my life. Thanks for all the advice even when i didnt ask for it, thanks for being there when i needed someone to talk to, thanks for. Helping me my car even though like you said it was a piece of junk lol, but most of all thank you for loving my mom. You were a blessing in disguise. And the fun moments we shared will forever be missed. Thanks for everything pops. Love you like a father. Sincerely Forever your friend and son Francisco.
