Aaron was a “gentle giant”, a hardworking and loving man! He made all who knew him proud. As a teenager Aaron enjoyed several mission trips, both locally and abroad with the youth at Lane United Methodist Church. At the age of 16 he worked with Altavista/Campbell Habitat for Humanity building better homes for others.
Aaron had a special love for his pets Willow, Walker, Lake, Peaches, Winston and Lennox.
