Aaron was extremely dedicated to his sons, they were the most important thing in the world to him.

Aaron had a lifelong commitment and love of martial arts and held a black belt in Shin-Toshi Karate and practiced Combat Jiu-Jitsu. He was a gentle giant with an amazing natural talent for sports. He loved coaching, teaching, and mentoring. No one could have asked for a better man to be in your corner not only in a fight but in life. Aaron was a very giving person and there for anyone needing help. He was a builder, wood worker, chef and well read, a renaissance man.

Aaron especially loved children. He was the best example of what a protective father
should be.

In lieu of flowers the family suggests donations to the Prevent Child Abuse Utah
foundaton.

There will be a Celebration of Life held in Aaron's honor at a later date.
