Aaron held several different jobs over the years the most recent of which was at Augusta Industrial Coatings in Augusta, Georgia where he worked for 15 years before becoming disabled. Aaron was a quite, humble person with a soft heart who loved his family and friends.

The family would like to offer special thanks to the employees of Norris Health and Rehabilitation Center for their care and support of Aaron over these past few years and also the employees at Caryville Dialysis Clinic.
Aaron will be sadly missed by all who knew him but we find comfort in knowing he is now with his Lord and Savior, family, friends and loved ones who have gone on before him.
