Aaron is my cousin through my Mom's brother Jim. We grew up together somewhat in the 70s and my memories are slighted by time. What I do remember was always fun. We moved to Florida in the late 70s and Aaron and my relationship dwindled due to geography. Because we were a close family yet very much geographically separated, we always kept up with each other's life events mainly due to the Aunts and Uncles communicating. I've enjoyed hearing about all of his successes, family outings, dogs and trips to meet up with my other cousins who live closer. I have no doubt that Aaron was a superb human. He was a atypical Reifsnyder possessing intelligence, wit, and compassion all of which are embodied throughout his immediate and geographically separated family. Genes run deep!
It's sad to hear Aaron won't be able to share his self with the world again. I enjoyed every minute with him when the family got together to celebrate our Grandmom on Fort Casey, Whidbey Island Washington.
I trust he is in a good space and with those he loved and was loved by. Where ever that is, I know he brings laughter and love there.
My condolences to his family near or far.
