The first time I met Aaron I thought he was CRAZY (he once rode a horse into his living room), and then I realized HE WAS CRAZY, but the good crazy, the kind of crazy you wish everyone was. Once I met Aaron, I knew I'd be a friend for life. Aaron lived life the the fullest. He was....
spontaneous
happy go lucky
a husband
optimistic in everything
heartfelt
a father
giving
a son
a kind soul
a brother
country.

Though I only knew Aaron for a short while, I will cherish my time spent with him and his family. I will remember all of our conversations and sleigh and horse back rides. I am only saying an earthly goodbye to him, because I know I will one day see him again in heaven. There's a song on the new Jason Aldean CD "Wide Open" titled "On My Highway" that reminds me of Aaron every time I hear it. The chorus is below...
But what a feeling, chasing the sun
Living my life like a shot from a gun
Laughing a little bit more with every mile
Oh what a freedom racing the wind
Dying to know what's around the next bend
Smiling as I watch the years roll by
I'm learning how to take it day by day on my highway
