Aaron grew up in a small town in rural Oklahoma, where he rode horses and learned to drive on back roads. He was a volunteer firefighter in Sasakwa before he could even drive and would go out on calls with his dad. The family moved to a larger town, Shawnee, where he graduated in 1994 from high school and soon afterward went into the military. While in high school, he enlisted in the delayed entry program and began training sessions on the weekends of his senior year.
Aaron was a hard worker and a people person - he always wanted to help. He volunteered to be a gunner on the chopper when he went to Iraq so he could have the opportunity to fly. He loved his wife, Michele, and daughter very much and told his dad that he never knew he could have so much love and so much fun being a daddy. Aaron always wanted to help whether it be someone or his country - he needed the challenge the Marine Corps could give him.
