God Bless him, I never met this man but he a good friend of my daughter. Sorry for his loss
My heart goes out to his family and friends. Aaron was a friend and pledge brother of my stepson and I had the pleasure of meeting him several times. I know he will be truly missed.
Feel sad for the loss of a young life. He was my Chem 2 student (I’m a TA) if I remember correct – anyway, God save your soul Aaron!
Rest in peace. You shall be remembered.
