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.
