Uncle Aaron was always there for me all my life I could call him and talk and know we are loved and I was never alone and he always let me know no matter my mistakes or where I was in my life he loved me and was proud of me he was the best uncle a girl could have I will always love and miss you Uncle Aaron
Dearest Aaron, my heart today is overflowing with sadness and gladness. Sadness because of missing you so much and gladness because your my brother. I still feel the warmth of the love you had for all your family, for others and for country. You are loved by so many and you will always be in our hearts. You loved giving to others, even strangers, food, toys, money and much more! I miss your beautiful smile, your imitation of Elvis, put many phone conversations, our silly jokes and laughter and yes, our many discussions about for God and his word. When I realized how sick you were I begged God to give you one more chance to be saved and I know that he did. You prayed with Sharon, the prayer we all must pray if we accept the Lord as our savior. Jesus said in St. John 6:37 " him that cometh to me, I will in no ways cast out, I'm sorry, as I'm sure you are now, that your whole life was not spent in serving, him. It's the best life, living for him. I thank God for his mercy. He loves us much, he'll sometimes save us even in our last days on earth. Blessed be the name of tie Lord Jesus. I am thankful for the many times we said - I LOVE YOU to each other. It was so special, sincere & true. I love you forever Aaron, my sweet, precious brother and friend. I'll close with your favorite saying: thank you, thank you very much! See you soon. Janet Biddle
Steve - sorry to hear about your Dad. We will be thinking of you in the days ahead brother. Dave Byrnes
Steve, Jennifer, and the Driggers family
Our condolences, so sorry for your loss. Prayers going out to the entire family.
My Dearest Sweet Aaron, you held a piece of my heart through the years. First time we actually met was at Weyerhaeuser as Janice and I were leaving work. She said "Uncle Aaron wants to know if you'll go to his Class Reunion with him." How could anyone say no to that huge smile on his face. I said "of course yes." Our friendship continued for several years. My 2 children were very small and Aaron spoiled them. He truly had a heart of Gold. He took us Mullet fishing teaching us to chum the water with oatmeal and hooking fish five at a time. He knew how to have fun. My children loved him dearly and respected him. It's funny how small things can impact small children. He always said "yes mam or no sir." My son followed that through life from Aaron as a very small boy. Today at almost 45 years old every time he says that I think of Aaron. He impacted people through the years by his caring and loving heart. After moving away and over 35 years later I moved back to Tampa. First thing I did 7 years ago was to look up my old friends. True friends that impact your life are never forgotten. Aaron was that friend forever. I called him to say hello. First thing he said "is this my Angel!" Not sure how he knew it was me. Years ago I invited Aaron to Church for Easter Sunday where my bother was pastoring. Before sitting down I saw his sister and her husband behind us. They were probably thinking the ceiling was going to fall down. So happy to see Aaron in church. Their prayers were to see all their loved ones in church, serving the Lord. Faye and her husband we called Hambone for some reason, has gone on to be with the Lord. I truly believe they are in heaven waiting to see those left behind. Before I leave these pages in life with Aaron and his family I want to encourage those still remaining, if you want to see Aaron again and loved ones that have gone before you, it's time to find a good church and get your heart right with God. For those that aren't aware. I believe Aaron was given a second chance to do that. I had not seen Aaron for over 35 years. In my visit to the hospital a couple weeks ago, I ask him if he knew the Lord as his personal Savior and was making his final home in heaven. With tubes in his throat and not being able to talk, I took his hand and ask him to squeeze my hand if he wanted to except the Lord in his life. With tears coming from his eyes he squeezed my hand to let Jesus and myself know he was ready to do that. Not everyone gets a second chance. I feel I my heart that after that he had a chance to talk to the Lord in his own way. God gave him some extra time to see his family and friends before making Heaven his final home. Heaven is a much better place now with Aaron there. I look forward to seeing him again. You can as well! Your choice, your decision. Where do you plan to spend eternity? Heaven or Hell? Their both real places. Thanks for reading my long post! " Jesus is the best friend you will ever have!" Aaron's Angel, Sharon
