Aaron thanks for helping get the motivation to attend college. I am almost finished with my master's degree. Every time I see some old red IH iron somewhere I think of you.

Aaron I wish I stayed in Colorado and had more time to learn from you. I waited for your call, and wanted you to stay with us in Montana, maybe things would have been different.I will never forget our friendship.

Its not fair that you were stolen from us. I already miss you so much, every day. I want to look down at my phone and see you calling me. I now have an anger for the world, and you would be the one that I would run to for help. I wish I could talk to you, see you, hug you. And its hard to believe that I'll never get the chance again. I don't know who to talk to now that you're not here. My heart is broken, and my mind is lost. We had so many more memories to make, and that was stolen from all of us. Its so stupid that you're gone for no reason. It's unbearable that you'll never be back. My heart is hurting and I need my friend, my father, my helper. The one I called whenever I was upset. I really don't know what we're going to do without you. There will always be a place in my heart for you that no one can replace. I miss you and I'll always love you. I need you now more than ever. I miss your voice and your laugh. I wish you could help me, I wish more that I could have helped you as much as you have always helped me. I wish I could show you how much you mean to me. I wish I could say all the things I never did. I wish I had more time with you.
Good bye, and I love you.

May You all know that you and everyone affected from this tragedy is in our prayers. God has a plan that we might not understand...but I think a lot of us from the children and adults have been brought closer in a certain way from all of this, not that it makes it easier. As long as we keep Faith and Love to us left behind here on earth , we too shall keep going with those qualities as AARON would want, to love, help and be kind to others Some day answers will be answered but not now. May we all help each other even after this horrid time. Love You guys Always, KLM

Aaron was an amazing man. I did not get to meet him but once. I was lookiing forward to more family interactions. He is my daughter's father in law, and she just loved him . The one time I met him I felt comfortable he accepted me for who I was. He was laughing and joking. We his son and Krystal and my family visited for quite awhile that day, so I learned a lot about him. Also from telephone conversations with my daughter. Aaron was always willing to help. A hard worker. I had an excellent first impression of him. He made several honorary accomplishments. He gave his time to help others.He will be a great loss. My prayers go out to his family. I will pray often for James his son. James loved him dearly. My condolences go out to his family and friends.
