I am so sad for his family’s loss and proud of what kind of man he was to place himself in harms way to save others. I feel for his wife and children as I'm quite certain it is so painful. 100% hero he was and should always be remembered this way! AS my grandfather always said in situations as this, A gentleman and a scholar! I didn't know him but I will never forget him!

I am lucky to call Aaron my friend! He and his sweet wife were our neighbors prior to moving to Bear River City. We shared stories of our adventures at work and I was priveleged to share some of my insights with him early in his career. We love you both and are deeply saddened with this tragic news. God be with you til' we meet again, my brother and friend.

A wise old man once answered my question when I asked him "Grandpa why do good people have to die?" Grandpa answered "Son there are battles in heaven too and sometimes god needs some of his best warriors to return home and battle by his side." We are gonna miss you Aaron.

"The Final Inspection"
The policeman stood and faced his God,
Which must always come to pass.
He hoped his shoes were shining.
Just as brightly as his brass.
"Step forward now, policeman.
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To My church have you been true?"
The policeman squared his shoulders and said, "No, Lord, I guess I ain't,
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 awfully tough.
But I never took a penny,
That wasn't mine to keep....
Though I worked a lot of overtime
When the bills got just 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 unmanly tears.
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 had often trod.
As the policeman waited quietly,
For the judgment of his God.
"Step forward now, policeman,
You've borne your burdens well.
Come walk a beat on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in hell."

I was fortunate to know Aaron for most of his career and call him my friend. Aaron was the guy who could be counted on to help anyone. Aaron's knowledge about everything always amazed me, whether it was helping me fix the timing belt in my car... to trouble shooting my computer... Aaron was always there to help. Aaron was a true friend and I am lucky to have known him. It will strange not having him around but we will continue to honor his memory. Rest in peace my friend... you have earned you place in heaven!
