Our beloved Aaron was taken away to live with God on 10-19-16. I never expected to be writing an obituary for my extraordinary husband of 23 years. I was supposed to be writing to Chip Foose and getting Aaron's vehicle overhauled. I am going to write this like I am writing Overhaulin'. Aaron has told me it is easier to do it this way.
Aaron was born to a gentle mother and father who raised him in Santa Cruz, California - a place that is truly heavenly and the perfect place to raise an angel. Aaron was a quiet sensitive boy and he grew into a big strong sensitive man. So thank you, Wayne and Diane Anderson, mom and dad!
Aaron was a brother to Amy Anne who entered the world with a bang in 1976, when Aaron was eight. He was protective and loved her to the ends of the earth. He has his arms around both of us now - our protector! Aaron was humble and would never in his wildest dreams have known the effect he created here on earth. When he walked into a room, he was truly the light. Aaron's love for animals and the care he showed for them are a testament to how very evolved he was. Aaron left us all behind but he is not gone and he would want his message to be kindness always first. I could fill pages with words, but that's all I have. I can only hope that for you, you were lucky enough to meet him. Chip Foose, this letter does not do him justice, but if you need a hero to fix up a car for and donate to St. Judes in Aaron's name, that would be fine. It's a k5 Blazer.
A Celebration of Life is tentatively scheduled for 4 p.m. November 12, 2016 at Wild West Junction. Bring your stories and laughter, because Aaron was never about tears.
