On January 5th  Aaron Andrew Alvarez took his last breath. He passed away in his sleep and the world is a lesser place for it. Aaron was a kind soul loved by anyone he met. He was the best of all things to people be it son, brother, uncle, cousin, boyfriend, friend, and artist. He was so many things to everyone and now he is gone. He believed in heroes and he believed that standing up for the less fortunate always came first. His artwork was a thing of beauty and he was able to make so many people smile by drawing them for memorials, weddings, or just for fun. He will live on in so many of us because his true power was giving people hope in a world that can be a terrible place. When everything seemed its darkest Aaron could tell you a few words and hug you and everything felt like it could be OK. He truly believed in the message that all we need to do is love thy neighbor. 

Our family would like to give him the best send off possible as a true hero deserves. we are asking to assist with the costs of the funeral and ceremony. Anything additional will go towards his mother who he was helping to take care of before his passing. 

I thank you for the time you have taken to read this and hopefully it conveys a modicum of love we had for Aaron Andrew Alvarez.
