I pray that everyone can find peace in knowing that we will see this officer as well as many others again in Paradise soon. Until then, please accept my condolences.

Aaron, I remember the last time we talked was just a few weeks before you were taken from us. We were standing near a dead end road in a small town in Box Elder County, I teased you about trooper stuff and you made wise cracks about my new patrol truck. A few months later I was involved in a critical incident at that same exact location and I knew you were there with me and had my 6 like always. Love ya pal

I first got to know Aaron when he was a field Trooper in Weber County, he was a legend, everyone in Law Enforcement in Northern Utah knew or had heard of Aaron with his amazing skills with computers, radios, software you name it. It wasn't long until he transferred to Box Elder. I got to know Aaron really well after that. I was a Deputy for BESO, and we all loved and admired him. If Aaron was working you KNEW WITHOUT A DOUBT that he would be right there on any emergency call. I knew no matter what that Aaron would be there to risk himself to help any of us out, I remember at least twice that he was right next to us when shots were fired and he never backed down, always a true warrior. I miss our long talks, our time spent together doing whatever, I will cherish those times and take them with me to the grave. I knew very well how much Aaron loved his 3 children and his eternal companion wife. Thank you can not justify my thankfulness for you and your family and the example you set for a lot of us, however Thank You is all I have for you. I will always cherish our time together. Rest in Peace my friend

Though I never knew him, he was part of my Law Enforcement family and I will mourn this deep loss the rest of my life. My heart aches with all the losses we have suffered, and continue to suffer, through the years. God is our only peace through such incidents. May family & friends feel the presence of the "God of All Comfort" as they endure the distressing days ahead. I join them in their agonizing grief & remember them in my prayers.

Another senseless tragedy
Another day of grief,
Another day of praying
To help us find relief.

Relief from bitter anguish
Relief from rage so great,
Relief from lenient justice
Which continues to seal our fate.

Relief from heartache’s torment
As we continue on,
Oh, the awesome loss of brotherhood
Now that you are gone.

Though our hearts are deeply broken
And our tears forever flow,
There’s a comforting assurance
That now with God you go.

We know that you are welcome
Now at Heaven’s gate,
While meeting brothers & sisters
Who also met such fate.

The family of Law Enforcement
Knows no distance here or there,
And we recall in comfort
You await us there.

You did good work down here, brother Aaron. So good that you were called to your other home.
I am sorry we could be there in light of Mt Rainier Ranger Nick Halls services and the lack of recovery of his body until the 5th.
We held up our glasses and flasks for you.

His Judgment Day:
The officer stood and faced his God, Which must always come to pass. He hoped his shoes were shinning, Just as brightly as his brass.
"Step forward now, Officer, How shall I deal with you? Have you always turned the other cheek To my church have you been true?"
The officer squared his shoulder and said, "No, Lord, I guess I aint, Because those of us who carry badges can't always be a saint.
I've had to work most Sundays, And at times my talk was rough, And sometimes I've been violent Because the streets are tough.
But I never took a penny That wasn't mine to keep.. Though I worked a lot of overtime, when the bills got too steep.
And I never passed a cry for help Though at times I shook with fear. And sometimes, God forgive me, I've wept an unmanly tear.
I know I don't deserve a place among the people here. They never wanted me around except to calm their fear.
If you've a place for me here, Lord, it needn't be so grand. I never expected or had too much, But if you don't...I'll understand.
There was silence all around the throne, where the saints often trod. As the officer waited quietly for the judgment of his God.
"Step forward now, Officer. You've borne your burdens well. Come walk a beat on heaven's streets, You've done your time in hell"
