Journal entry by Jolene Melchiori

Aaron was what all Minnesotans aspire to be: a resilient, good-natured friend to all, loved by a privileged few, and strong in both word and deed. He was known for his decency, humility, and steadfastness. Those who knew him were better for it. He was a devoted husband to Bridget and a proud father of his son Aleric, both of whom he loved deeply.  

Please visit https://www.gearty-delmore.com/obituary/Aaron-Koelman for a beautiful tribute to Aaron as well as details regarding visitation and the Mass of Christian Burial. 

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you please consider donating to the charity PanCan.org to help those fighting pancreatic cancer.
