It is with extreme sadness that we announce the passing of Aaron Cote.

Aaron, a 23-year-old Fort Walton Beach resident, was raised in Belmont, New Hampshire and graduated in 2016 from Winnisquam Regional High School. He was on his way home from work on his motorcycle when an SUV tried to make a U-turn from the right lane and collided with him, ending his short-lived but love-filled life

Aaron was an amazing man who loved his family, friends and country. He served in the US Army, based with the 7th Special Forces Group (Airborne), which included a deployment to Syria.

We are devastated by Aaron's passing, and no one was prepared for the costs related to his sudden death. We want to give Aaron the memorial he deserves, honor his memory, make sure his family can be taken care of during this time, and say our last goodbyes.

This Go Fund Me page was created to help with funeral expenses, including assisting Aaron in finding his way back home to his family in New Hampshire to rest in peace.

Please feel free to share & thank you, everyone.
