Fuquay-Varina
On Saturday, July 30, 2016 Perry "Chet" Aaron lost his year-long war with multiple cancers that attacked his body. Chet fought every step of the way since learning of his diagnosis. He never lost his true spirit, his humor, his love, and his faith in family. Most of all his love never wavered for Paulette, his wife and the love of his life for 53 years of marriage. He fought hard for her because he never wanted to leave her side. Chet was a humble man that served our country in the Army and went on to live a beautiful happy life with family and friends always close by.
Chet was a man that loved deeply and cherished his family. When the Lord called him home he was surrounded by family, in his own home, exactly as he wanted it. In the days preceding his death his only wish to make sure his family was going to be okay and that they would all stay together.
Chet was preceded in death by his mother Edna Guyot of Connecticut, his nephew Mitchell Brenneis of Connecticut, and his sister Helen Renken also of Connecticut. He is survived by a close and loving family beginning with his beloved wife Paulette, their three son's Scott, Paul, and Perry, their spouses Roxane, Julieann, and Jennifer. He leaves behind a sister Estelle and her spouse Vince of South Carolina. He is also survived by his 8 beautiful grandchildren: Devin (27), Brandon (25), Zachary (24), Blake (21), Taylor (19), Nicholas (12), Katelyn (10), and Jayna (7).
His family believes they have a lost a true hero. He was a hero, not just because he served our country, but because he believed to his core that family matters, that values matter, and that living a good honest, hard-working life matters. He believed in living a good life, teaching his children and grandchildren right from wrong, the value of hard work, and that loving each other are the important steps to creating happiness and living your life.
There have been many tributes about this man over the last few days from his family and they would like to share excerpts of them with all of you: "He was a wise, funny, encouraging old man and I could not have wished for a better Pop-Pop." "We will never forget the amazing memories with him." "You are one of the most inspirational men I have ever met. Thank you for all the great times, lessons, and memories you have given all of us." "Today the Lord took into his hands one of the most feisty Angels that shall ever walk the heavens." "He was a family man who adored his loved ones and was always able to make us laugh, teach us lessons, and make all of us feel unconditionally loved." "Lost a great man today, miss him already, really sad"
A viewing will be held from 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm with a service immediately to follow on Thursday, August 4, 2016 at Thomas Funeral Home, 401 N. Ennis St., Fuquay-Varina, NC 27526, (919) 552-4171.
