Some things about Aaron

For those of you that knew him personally, you may already know about some of this stuff, but for the rest of you here goes. If you are wondering why the logo and this blog have so much pink in it, it is because pink was his favorite color. I believe it started as a joke with the birth of his first daughter. He would always tease her about how much he loved pink. By the time his second and third daughters were born, everyone already knew that he loved pink.
At his funeral all the pallbearers wore pink ties and the majority of his flowers were pink. I know it is all kind of silly, but it just goes to show you how much he really loved his little girls.
Aaron was so full of life and was always willing to drop whatever he was doing to come and help you with what ever it was that you needed help with. He was the type a guy that if he saw someone in a parking lot or on the side of the road with the hood up on their car, he would go over to see if they needed help. He loved to work with his hands. I swear his goal, everyday, was to see how many people he could help. I believe he was always looking for someone in need, just so he could help them.
When Aaron passed away it was all so sudden, that he was actually able to donate his organs. He donated almost everything that they would allow. It just goes to show you that his goal in this life was to help people.
