To the parents of Aaron,
I was Aaron’s Manager @ Demo in the mall and I remember always having such a great time when we worked together. He had such a great sense of humor, he often spoke of how much he loved to travel and simply enjoy life. He was a great friend to me. On June 27, 2006, I lost my husband and he called me as soon as he heard the news, we went out to eat the next day and he made me feel so much better, simply by making me laugh and inspiring me to cheer up. He was such a true friend, words cannot express the pain I felt when I heard the bad news. I still think about him every day and he and his family will be in my prayers forever.
Love

To my beloved Linda, words cannot describe how heartbroken I am for you. Please know that you and Allen are in my prayers. I love you both.

RIP Brother, keep on riding and doing what we love. See you again someday, save some Jager for the rest of us will ya? My deepest sympathy goes out to your family and friends. Until next time Airborne… LOD UP!
Aaron and I were really close ten years or so ago. Despite losing touch for nearly 6 years, I bumped into him and he gave me such a big, warm hug. After that one, I got one every time I saw him. I will miss Aaron and those big, warm hugs terribly. My thoughts and prayers are with his friends and family.
Aaron Michael Lewis, you will be missed greatly. I’ve only known you for about 4 years and you befriended me with out a doubt. Miracle and I will truly miss your enthusiam and family oriented nature. You and your family will be in my prayers for as long as i will remember. From one brother to another, its sad to say goodbye this way.
Rest In Peace

We are very sorry for your loss. Please accept our deepest, deepest sympathies.
I found out yesterday and I still can not believe it. I just saw Aaron a couple of months ago when I was home visiting. Before that I hadn’t seen him in a few years, so I am glad I got to see him and give him a hug him at least…
I can not imagine what Darrell and the rest of Aarons family and close friends are going through.
God Bless and you will be in my prayers.
Linda & Allen
I am so sorry to hear about Aaron. I know that we don’t always understand God’s timing, but take comfort in knowing that you will be with him again one day. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

My thoughts and prayers and deepest sympathy go out to Aaron’s family and friends in this time of sorrow. He knew how to put a smile on everyone’s face and he will be greatly missed.
So sorry to hear about Aaron. I taught him in a couple classes at A-B Tech and he was a wonderful student. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.
Dear Family,
I cannot even imagine the pain and grief that you must be going through. I have thought about all of you the last few days and have kept you in my thoughts and prayers. I am unable due to my work schedule to come and pay my respects tonight but I wanted you to know that I am truely sorry and may God grace you with love and help you through is so very tough time.

I first met Aaron when he worked for me in Dillards . I must say he was one of a kind, always making you laugh, or having to hunt him down when all the ladies were visiting him at work, he became a dear friend of my daughter Courtnay,s and she will miss him greatly, my condolences to his Mom, what a hard thing this is for her, Linda Pendry
Wonder how many women Aaron’s got around him up in the sky?? =)
What a ladies man he was.
My prayers and sympathies are with the family and friends of this great person that is now waiting and watching over all of us.
Dear Linda,
I know there is nothing that can be said to ease your pain, but know that you remain in my heart and prayers.
Most Sincerely,
Deb DeLong
So sorry for your loss. Donna and I can really feel your loss. We have been there. It is something you never get over and one should not. You do learn to cope and go on because you have to.
Again my condolences.
Lewis, Donna and Nick
I am so sorry for your loss, Aaron was such a great guy, always with a smile on his face, sweet and kind hearted. Him and I dated when we were younger, and we saw eachother all over town on a regular basis, it is so hard to believe that we will never ‘accidentaly’ bump into eachother again. He will be greatly missed and always loved, by everyones heart who he touched.
Linda…Gay passed this sad news on to me and I just wanted to express by condolences to you and your family in this time of sadness. My thoughts and prayers are with you..Chris Keyes

There are no words that can describe the sadness that filled my heart when I learned of Aarons Passing. I will miss him but I will always smile when I think of him. Aaron was a kind soul with such a caring heart. I will keep his family and loved ones in my prayers.

We are very sorry to hear about Aaron. It has been a long time since we last saw him but we remember him as a fun person to be around. May God bless your family.
Love,
Benjy and Nicole Rogers
Aaron is a very special person. We had a falling out a few years back about something utterly stupid and just recently reconciled and talked again. Not a day passes that I don’t regret the time we spent not talking and I would give anything to have more time to get to know him again. I will never forget him. You all raised a wonderful son. May you know he is loved and will be deeply missed.
MY thought’s & prayers go out to Linda & her family.
My thoughts and condolences to Linda and family. I have two of my own, Aaron and Sarah, and could not imagine ever losing one of my own. Your old friends from CA are still here and our love and prayers are there for you.
Linda, even though I didn’t know Aaron it sounds like he lived life and I hope you hang on to those fond memories to help you and your family get thru this. I’m sure thats how he would have wanted it. Love and thinking of you,your ol friend.
Linda,
I am so, so sorry you have to endure this. It’s not fair that we lose our children, they are supposed to bury us.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and my heart is heavy for you.
With love,
Pam (LaPado)
You’ll live on in our memories and never be forgotten. Everyone dies but not everyone lives and from the times we spent together, it’s obvious that Aaron really lived. He was so fun loving and adventurous and cheered me up so many times. He was a great, caring and loyal person and he will be missed.
Dear Linda, I’m so sorry to hear of the loss of your son, Aaron. My heart goes out to you and i hope that it won’t be long before you can find solace in the happy memories you have of the times you spent together. He certainly looks handsome in his photo and it sounds like he was a great guy. I can see he resembles his mama very much. My sincerest sympathy to you and your family. May you find comfort and support within the loving arms of your family, friends and the Good Lord.
Sincerely and with love,
Laura (Janetsky) Welles
Dear Linda, My heart goes out to you and your whole family at the loss of you son, Aaron. From all the things i’ve read about him in this guestbook, he was obviously a wonderful, well loved man who loved his family, friends (and motorcycles) and brought much joy to everyone’s life. I pray that when the pain within you simmers down some, you will be able to comfort your heart with happy memories of all the wonderful times you spent together. With sincere sympathy and love, another old pal, Laura (Janetsky) Welles
Airborne’ we will love you and miss you as the days go by. May Heavens gates welcome you and love you just like all of us have done.
I just wanna say that from the bottom of my heart im so sorry..I can feel the pain that everyone must be going through, and I hope time heals ur pain. I knew Aaron for a short time, and he was a very sweet guy. I can imagine what this has done to the people that knew him very well..Once again Im so sorry..May God heal ur suffering..
I am extremely sad for the loss of such a great friend. However I am glad to know that I will see you again one day in the future. You will not be forgotten and I will keep your family in my prayers. I love you!
Stefanie
It really means a lot to see how many people loved Aaron. I knew him for 23 years, he was my cousin, but he was more like my brother. He was always there for me when I needed him even though we lived in different cities. He was one of the most loving and fun people that I have ever met and I will always remember all of the years that we had together.
I love you, Aaron. Keep grandpa company!
Linda and Allen and our whole family, I love you so much and I will see you again soon!
So sorry for the loss of your son and hope the best for you.
Aaron Michael, (you always rolled your eyes when I called you that…I’m sure you are now) I will miss you. You were my smile when I didn’t have the courage to smile and my strength when I didn’t have it in me to stand up for myself. You were an amazing friend and I will miss you dearly. Thank you for the good times and helping me through the bad. Help God keep an eye on me…he healed my heart valves he has a plan for me here on earth. As I’ve told you before, we don’t say goodbye because it hasn’t been the last time….I’ll see you later Aaron.
To Aaron’s family, my thoughts and prayers go out to you during this time. He’s in the Lord’s arms now. We have another angel to watch over us until we meet again.
To my dear friends Linda & Allen, I want to hug you tightly and not let go!! Know that your in my prayers and i love you guys. I know you have many wonderful memories to cherish and they will help you through this tough time.
just wanna say im sorry and may god be with you through this your in my thoughts and prayers !
I remember hanging out when we were teenagers. Aaron use to be good friends with my cousin, Joey Moseley, and use to attend youth group @ my church sometimes. Isaiah 41:9 Thou whom I have taken from the ends of the earth,and called thee from the chief men thereof,and said unto thee, thou art my servant; I have chosen thee,and not cast thee away.
To all the Lewis family, we share in your sorrow. Though we did not personally know Aaron, we , know he was a wonderful young man. Our special prayers and thoughts to Katy Bridges and family and Neil Young and Becky. With loving thoughts, Shirley and Gus Colagerakis
it still doesn’t seem real that he is gone but i keep telling myself to remember all the good times..Aaron was a great person with a huge heart….and i know so many people will miss him. he will always have a HUGE place in my heart….he is gone but definitely not forgotten. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and the rest of his friends. Aaron…i miss and love you more than you will ever know.
Airborne’s’ family and friends will be in my thoughts and prayers. May we celebrate his life and not mourn his death.
i just like to say sorry for the loss of a great friend. we all will keep him in our prayers an look after the family
well RIP airbourne to a great guy may god rest ur soul
I’ve known Aaron since we were 16 years old. I celebrate my birthday today, with some sadness of knowing Aaron will not have another. I will think of him fondly and often. I know I will see him again, and that there is no goodbye.
My thoughts, prayers, and heart are with him and his family. We know that Aaron lived, and lived fully.
‘Love is stronger than death even though it can’t stop death from happening, but no matter how hard death tries it can’t separate people from love. It can’t take away our memories either. In the end, life is stronger than death.’?
To all of Aaron’s friends, and all of our friends, your support is, and always has been, amazing. We are all truly thankful for your friendship. Aaron is with God now, and he and his grandfather are reunited again. We love all of you and your strength will be what gets us through. Linda & Allen
Jack and I send our condolences and prayers to Aarons family. We both knew Aaron in our younger years and will never forget him. Aaron, may you rest in peace with our Lord. God, please bless this family and Aarons close friends during this time of sorrow.
May God be with you during your time of loss-I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.
With Love and Sympathy

I have known Aaron for over 5 years and we have kept in touch while I was gone in the Army. I saw him up in Brooklyn for a LOD BBQ when I was stationed in DC. I got the pleasure of seeing him at Mags a few weeks ago and got a hug. I will miss him terribly.But God has promised strength for the day, rest for the labor, light for the way, grace for the trials, help from above, unfailing sympathy, undying love. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
I am truly sorry for your loss. I am very thankful for the opportunity to meet Aaron and spend a little time with him. You are all in my thoughts.
I have had the pleasure of getting to know Aaron & being his friend; he was such a wonderful guy. My thoughts & prayers go out to his family & friends. May the Lord be with you.

To Aaron’s Family I would like to tell you how sorry I am and I will keep you in my prayers. Aaron and I used to hang out when we were teenagers and we ran into each other from time to time. I will always remember that he could always make me laugh. May he rest in peace.
