"He ment alot to me and I wont ever forget him. I thought he ment more to me than I thought most people did but we all lost him and I still hold my tears back so people can look up to me for it but when I grow old my father wont be able to walk me down the isle.
With all the love of a daughter."

"Aaron was a lead by example guy and easy to get along with. During SFOR9 with the Guard he really impressed me with his work ethic and engaging demeanor, he really was easy to talk to and fun to be around. He had common sense when it came to things Army. I was shocked when I read of his death, even more so as he was so full of life. I always thought we would build something together at the end of his career, he was very good carpenter,when he returned from active duty. Our condolences go out to Sandy and the family."

"Sandy, I just found out. I am so sorry for your loss. I don't even know what to say. I admired you and Aaron for the unmeasurable love between you and the way you parented your children-- envied it, even. I remember when we first met your family and how we would sit around at Carrie's and watch Aaron play his guitar and how he captured everyone's attention with his beautiful voice. I can't imagine the pain you and the girls have gone, and are still going through. My heart goes out to you and your family. You are in my thoughts and prayers. I am so sorry."

"Once upon a time as his gunner, we had our little differences, but with his passing, it all seems so petty now. I wish his family peace in knowing that he died loving what he did. I will miss him."

"Aaron,
