On the morning of December 22nd, our lives changed forever. While on his way to work, Aaron was taken from us in a senseless hit-and-run. Instead of stopping to help, the individual responsible chose to leave Aaron at the scene. While the Kansas Highway Patrol is currently investigating, our family is shattered, leaning on faith and the strength of our community to find justice for a man with so much life ahead of him. He deserved so much more.

Aaron didn't just walk through life; he brightened it. He was the happiest, most genuine soul, with a heart so big he impacted so many of us. Whether you knew him as a brother, cousin, loyal friend, or by his legendary gaming skills as "Alfa Slayer620," he was the person you could always count on. He brought joy and laughter to so many of us. We had just celebrated his 26th birthday on December 15, and knowing that he will not be with us this Christmas has us absolutely heartbroken. We have lost a beautiful soul, but heaven has gained a beautiful angel.

This GoFundMe is created to honor Aaron's memory. All funds raised will go toward his funeral and memorial expenses, helping our family cover immediate costs and give him the farewell he deserves. Thank you in advance to everyone who has shared Facebook posts and offered support as we seek justice for Aaron. Any contribution is deeply appreciated as we navigate this heartbreaking loss.
