Aaron was the most fantastic individual anybody could meet. He had a fantastic zest for life and passed this onto anybody he came into contact with. I have been his stepfather since he was 7 years old and it was a fantastic journey which I am extremely proud to have been part of.
He was close to finishing university where he had a fantastic life both socially and academically, and was then going to do a Gap Year trip to Banff in Canada, starting in October 2009. Canada doesn't know what it's missing.
His funeral was a fantastic occasion being a wonderful celebration of his life. The church was full with about 300 people. The music used was Hallelujah (Jeff Buckley), Only The Good Die Young (Queen), Hear You Me (Jimmy Eat World), November Rain (Guns n Roses), Knockin on Heavens Door (Guns n Roses) and Jerusalem.
A number of his friends and family will be competing in the Silverstone half marathon in March 2008 in aid of The David Lewis Centre at Alderley Edge which provides residential services for people of all ages who have complex epilepsy.

Birthday Remembrance
Thinking of you on your birthday Aaron
But that is nothing new
For no day dawns and no day ends
Without a thought of you.
We cannot send a birthday card,
Your hand we cannot touch,
But God will take our greetings
To the one we love so much.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY AARON

Today is my birthday
Celebrate my life with you
And remember the good times
Forget the bad.
Look up towards the sun
And catch every ray of light
Upon your cheek.
For I am there with you.
Today is my birthday,
Be happy for me.
My life was full.
I had the pleasure of love
And the joy of my family.
Do not be sad
Look up towards the stars
And catch each twinkle
In your heart.
For I am there with you

My legacy is not wealth
Or mighty belongings,
My legacy is you and your life.
Spend it wisely and carefully,
Guard it always.
Do not be sad.
Feel the wind on your face
And in your hair
And know that I loved you
For I am there with you in your laughter
And in your hearts.

Learn to live again without me.
Take my strength with you
For you are not alone.
Do not be sad
Feel the rain on your face
Feel all life's treasures and
Know that you are alive!
At each step of the way
I will help you
For I am with you always
Until we meet again.
Today is my birthday...
unknown all my love
Sylvie

I heard you crying yesterday
And felt your heart-sent love
So I’m sending you this message
Now, from Heaven up above.
You’re wondering if I’ll celebrate
My birthday (way up here)
I know you’re missing me today
I feel your essence near.
♥*•.♥*•.⊰✲⊱⊰✲⊱♥*•.♥*•⊰✲⊱⊰✲⊱.♥*•.♥*•⊰✲⊱⊰✲⊱
God planned a special day for me
He told me with a wink
He’d ordered me a special cake
(It’s Angel food, I think)
I’m getting lots of hugs from God
He’s really good at that
And every time that I walk by
He gives my head a pat
♥*•.♥*•.⊰✲⊱⊰✲⊱♥*•.♥*•⊰✲⊱⊰✲⊱.♥*•.♥*•⊰✲⊱⊰✲⊱
Balloons will fill the streets for me
They float up through the clouds
And we have lots of clowns up here
That make us laugh out loud
There is a birthday carousel
Jeweled horses ride the wind
With music playing oh so sweet…
The magic never ends
♥*•.♥*•.⊰✲⊱⊰✲⊱♥*•.♥*•⊰✲⊱⊰✲⊱.♥*•.♥*•⊰✲⊱⊰✲⊱
I’ve made so many friends, you see
We laugh and play and sing
We ride our bikes and play jump rope
And sleep in Angel’s wings
We’ll have our cake and ice cream
And open gifts, surprise!
But we don’t blow out our candles here
Instead, they light the skies

I have not turned my back on you,
so there is no need to cry.
I'm watching you from heaven,
just beyond the morning sky.
I've seen you almost fall apart,
when you could barely stand.
I asked the Lord to comfort you,
and watched him take your hand.
He told me you are in more pain,
then I could ever be.
He wiped his eyes and swallowed hard,
then gave your hand to me.
Although you may not feel my touch,
or see me by your side.
I've whispered that I love you,
while I wiped each tear you cried.
So please try not to ache for me,
we'll meet again one day,
beyond the dark and stormy sky,
a Rainbow lights the way

A snowboarders tribute
The ride of our lives - a poem for Aaron.
At the top of that hill is where we feel best;
It’s the place where we ride, we play and we rest.
As we strap on our boards, the snow begins to fall;
The sound of thumping tunes, my friends and the mountain – right now I have it all.
As we slide down that hill, we yell out and scream:
‘This is the best ride we’ve ever had dude – this snow is a dream!’
We fly round that powdery bend, me and my friends,
Looking at each other like spoilt kids on Christmas day.
As we laugh and we slide, we are carefree and strong – snowboarding can do us no wrong.
When we reach that snow-dusted peak, we unstrap and stare,
‘Mate this place is so beautiful, this place is so rare.’
Holding my board I look up to the clouds and to the heavenly slopes below,
‘This is the ride of our lives my friend – I just want you to know.’
Rest in peace Aaron – ride those pearly clouds.
Tribute - Ben Thomas
I might not have known Aaron as long as some of you here today but he was one of my best friends. Having both joined the snowboard team in our first days of Uni, shared a passion for music and lived in the same halls, Aaron quickly became my first friend in Preston, so far away from home.
For me 1st year was characterized by weekly snowboard socials and frequent trips to Ste & Dans Flat, all of which accompanied by Aaron.
These unforgettable nights were made much more convenient when we all moved into Essex House….. Despite the quality of the property itself those 2 years were the best of my life and I owe much of that to Aaron.
One of the biggest highlights of these years was our Annual Snowboarding holiday with UST which never disappointed and many will remember forever.
Those of us who had the privilege of living with Aaron for the last couple of years are probably wondering why he and I never got a record deal with our outstanding covers of tenacious D and various other hits, although judging by the amount of eggs thrown at us outside Ribble Halls we can’t have been that amazing.
It was always obvious when Aaron was home, perhaps from the torrent of rock music coming from his room, yet still he provided that welcome and friendly face that you could always rely on in a time of need, or simply when pro evolution soccer seemed like more fun than work.
I’d never seen Aaron happier than when he was around friends and family, and in particular Lisa, she loved and cared for him, and changed his life for the better.
I can only remember the truly amazing times with Aaron because that’s all there were. His achievements socially and academically will always be remembered by those people who loved him, of whom there were many.
Thanks Holmes
From Grandad Allan and Grandma Barbara
Aaron was a loving grandson to us and it was always a pleasure to be with him. He was able to light up a room and now that light has gone out the world seems a little darker without him. He had many talents but his greatest was as a giver of love and laughter and for that he will be forever in our hearts........Grandma and Grandad Ogden
A golden heart stopped beating,
Two smiling eyes at rest,
God broke your familys hearts to prove to them,
He only takes the best.
Sweet dreams beautiful angel.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
