Known for his generous heart, Aaron was the kind of man who would give you the shirt off his back. A self-taught musician, he had a deep love for music With a heart of gold and a gift for making others smile, Aaron was always quick with a joke, a laugh, or a mischievous grin. His ornery charm and warm nature brought comfort and joy to everyone who knew him. He cared deeply for others and lived a life of quiet compassion and resilience. Aaron’s presence was a comforting one—never boastful, but always dependable, always kind.

Aaron will be cremated at the Greco-Hertnick Funeral Home without any public services.
