Happy Birthday Bro! Miss you!!

Aaron,
Hard to believe it's been seven years. Some days it seems so long ago; then other days it's like yesterday, but we've missed you every day.

Mom & Dad

Aaron,
I can't believe how time flies. I still think of you often. I miss you.
Love, Debbie

Aaron you did not ever meet me but I knew your Mother and Father from High School and when I heard about your passing I was very sorrwful for Your Mother and Father. I lost my only Son Brien in a plane crash so I know your parents feelings. It hurts more knowing that I knew them very well and that they experiencd such a loss. Look down on Jim and Mary now and then and guide them as Brien guides me.

You're still in my thoughts.

Happy Birthday Aaron, miss you everyday.

Hey, do you remember that umbrella you hated? The green one that looks like big, wet tropical leaves? I gotta say, I STILL get compliments on that thing! Seriously, just the other day I was walking to work, and when I opened the umbrella, it was literally three steps before somebody stopped me said, "Hey, that's a nice umbrella!" Weird.

It's my birthday tomorrow. I'm going to make Rob take me to see "The Ruins". You should stop by.

Happy Birthday Aaron, we love and
miss you.
Mom & Dad

Thinking of you, Aaron...Thanks for always staying in my thoughts.

I was thinking about "Once Upon a Mattress" the other day. You sure are a great singer! I wonder what you're singing nowadays.

Aaron,



Well, I'm working with your Aunt Sandy at a pre-school and can't help wondering if you had anything to do with it. When I found out I was working with a member of your family-let's just say I was a little more than shocked. I told her you were looking over us and she agreed. She's soooo nice and even reminds me of you at times. Thank you for bringing us together. I just know it was your doing. I miss you a lot.

Love, Debbie

Hi Aaron! Today is Wednesday, which is the day that new comic books come out, and I am the co-owner of a comic book store these days. The point is, I'll be working all day and I don't think I'm going to get a chance to call. So, could you let your mom know that I said "happy birthday"? Maybe slip a feather into that Star Trek comic book and then knock it off her shelf, or something. I just want her to know I'm thinking of her. She's a great lady.

thinking of you and missing you everyday. I love you!!!

Visiting Chicago this weekend. We are staying with James (your first roomate here) and his wife. James pointed out where you worked, your first place here. Later we were sitting close by these places, eating ice cream, talking about you. We realized it was within days of your birthday. So, happy birthday friend.

Happy Birthday Aaron, we went to mass this morning, then spent rest of the day with Jim and Jeanette. You will always be in our hearts and minds.

love you

Mom & Dad

Aaron.

I know it has been awhile since I have written. I just sometimes keep things inside. I am sure by now you know the numerous people who lost their loved ones had a copy of the poem I wrote for you. Thank you for the inspiration for the poem. Giving a copy of the poem is the only way I can think of to comfort those who have lost loved ones. Even though we were really close in our adult years (I was quite frankly in awe of you), it still seems strange that you aren't in the world anymore. Thank you for visiting me in some of my chaotic dreams.

I love you!

Ariana M. Howe

Aaron,

Three years have come and gone so fast. I still think of you often . Love always, Debbie

Did you miss me yesterday? Sorry I couldn't make it. But I mailed a letter to you parents - I just thought you should know we're still in touch. You'd have loved the Halloween costume this year! Ask Jim and Mary, I just sent them a picture! Take care of everybody, Aaron. We all miss you!

Aaron, you are always in my thoughts and in my heart. I miss your wacky humor and laughter. Your picture is on my mirror so I see you everyday. Love you always dear friend.

Aaron:

It's seems like we are closer everyday. We all miss you so much.

love,

Mom & Dad

Aaron,

Thinking of you today Aaron, god bless -John

Happy Birthday Aaron

Mom and I went to Mass today, Father Smith was visiting priest today. Your mom said you used to serve mass for him. He started the mass in your memory, thats the first time I've heard a priest do that.

We pretty much just sat around today not doing much, and your mom said that you wouldn't be sitting at home on your Birthday so I think we'll go out for awhile.

We love you

Mom & Dad

Happy birthday, babe. Take care.

Aaron,

I can't believe two years have gone by since you left us. I just want you to know that I think of you often and am so thankful for all of the memories I have. Be good; I know I will see you again one day.

Love, Debbie

Aaron

We went to your Mass today. The two years have passed so quickly, but it seems as if we have missed you forever.

Love Mom & Dad

The second anniversary is here, and I just want you to know that I am still thinking about you. Hope you got the flowers and the letter I left for you at the spot last year; you're in my thoughts almost every day, Aaron. I'll be coming by tonight, after work. I'll bring you some snow lilies... I know they are your favorite.

Thanks for that weird and wonderful dream you gave me last summer, by the way. I won't forget it.

Aaron, this Christmas just wasn't the same without you. I kept waiting for you to show up at my parents' front door on Christmas Eve with your deep laugh and huge bear hugs. I know you were watching over us the whole time. I miss you so much and can't wait to see you again.



I love you,

Vanessa

Our family had friends in from Chicago and told me about this guestbook. Aaron and I ran a small diner in Kent. I was the cook and he the waiter. I will never forget those days. Aaron and I had so much fun. We laughed ourselves to tears almost everyday. Aaron had incredible energy, was very creative and could make the worst days great. I dont know why...he nicknamed me "dickie" (I hated it)....but I cant wait to hear "Hey dickie!!" in the sky someday. Miss you-

I just wanted to say that Aaron is still in my thoughts. He still brings a smile to my heart when I am feeling blue.

Happy Birthday Aaron, we love and miss you.

Mom & Dad

I miss you Aaron...you are always in my thoughts!

A year has past, yet I think of you daily. Your picture is on my mirror so that I can see your face as I prepare to begin each day. What a wonderful blessing you were in my life. I will be forever thankful for you--as were all those whose lives you touched. Love you Aaron!

Aaron it has been a year today, and we miss you. Love Mom & Dad

Aaron was a true friend and today I am thinking of him... as I do on many days. We all miss you Aaron, can't wait to see you again my pal.

Love you always, you are so special to me!

James

Happy Birthday Aaron, we love and miss you. Mom & Dad

My condolences to the White family. I am living out of the area and just found out. I have thought about him over the years and wondered where his life took him after Kent State.



I am truly saddened and it brought back so many great memories of Aaron. He made me smile every day while at BHS and never EVER had a bad day that I could see.



We talked about Christine alot and he always teased about her but also gushed about her all the time!



He was unique, wonderful and someone who truly touched my life in such a positive way. I have read over the posts in this guestbook and I agree with everyone's feelings here about Aaron's spirit and zest for life. He was truly one of a kind.



Love and prayers,



Megan (Koster) Usko

I graduated from St. Augustines with Aaron in 1985. I think about my classmates and the wonderful memories they bring. Aaron is a big part of those memories. I'm saddened and sorry to hear about this. My deepest condolences.

I was so shocked and saddened to hear about Aaron's death. I met Aaron at Kent where I had the pleasure of hearing him sing regularly. He was such a talented young man. I was in my (first) senior year when Aaron came to Kent and I remember him saying he was so excited that he was assigned to join my quartet for the Yuletide Feaste. I kept thinking how great it was that someone so talented was excited to work with me.

I lost touch with Aaron after I left Kent, but I have thought about him so much ever since. He is such vibrant personality, none of us will ever be the same having had him a part of our lives. I had the priviledge of calling him a friend for a short period of our lives and my sincere sympathies go out to his family. An old nun once told my mother that we are all put on this earth to earn our way back into heaven-- the problem with that theory is that, with as much joy as he brought to others, I think Aaron earned his way back long before he left.

My deepest sympathy goes out to Aaron's family and friends at this time of loss. I was so shocked to hear of his sudden passing. It is so hard to imagine such a vibrant person is gone so quickly. He made a great impact on the people he interacted with at Kent State. Aaron will truly be missed!

Aaron was a beautiful person and an amazing talent. I had the pleasure of sharing my very first film experience with him. The two of us being ourselves and loving every minute of it. He will always be love and strength and beauty for all who knew him. My thoughts and prayers are with his family. God Bless

Although it seems unreal, I wrote a poem for Aaron that I would like to share with all of his loved ones. I was fortunate enough to be one of them!



When Somebody Special Passes

Unfortunately, you never know when our good-bye is the last you'll say,

Or even if you,or the other person, will be the first to pass away.

The saddest part is, that to grieve, someone is always left,

Feeling like they lost a part of them through theft.

Memories remembered can cause tears or smiles,

Knowing that loving him was all worth while.

Through good time and bad, he always went with you,

But this time he can't help you.

I am sure he touched people's hearts,

Before from this Earth he had to depart.

He must have been greeted by those he knew who died before,

Who escorted him through Heaven's door.

Where he can preside, joke, and sing,

With other souls as bells ring,

To Jesus Christ, our Lord, and King.





I love and miss you Aaron.

Aaron, I remember laughter most of all. Through all the kidney stones, borrowed pumpkins, rabbit droppings, fights and goofy TV shows, it's the laughter that always comes first to my mind. So much of it. Aaron, you helped me through one of the hardest times in my life with that sense of humor of yours and I will never forget. Thank you. I love you and miss you terribly. Good bye.

I was thinking about how fitting it is that Aaron lived in the windy city. My mom always said that Aaron use to blow in and fuss everyone up and then blow out. He was always this whirlwind of activity and chaos and energy. Aaron made you feel from the depths of your soul and would awake the gray and frozen dreams that were conducive to Ohio’s dreary weather.

As a child, the way that I identified Aaron was by his voice. He had the most wonderful voice in the world. It was so full of passion, of life, of adventure, so full of so much that his voice was brimming with excitement that everyone listening would be swept up into the world of Aaron. He was always planning and scheming and dreaming and searching for something larger than life. Certainly Ohio was too small to contain his spirit and Chicago was able to for a while, but Aaron’s soul always seemed to be too big of this world. He had his great charisma and would enlist anyone, even total strangers to help out in his plans. I loved to listen to Aaron laugh, his laugh could fill a room. It was overtaking and powerful and full of energy. I witnessed this laugh turn disgruntled strangers into pleasant people. Life was a party and Aaron was always at the top of the guest list.

Aaron always had a certain magic quality to him, all of my memories seem to have dusting of the surreal. The only things I really knew about Aaron is what he told us and I use to try to recreate and imagine his life in Chicago. He seemed to live life as a crayon enlargement of reality. He was an amazing storyteller and would spin fantastic tales that would otherwise be mundane and boring. He was always sharing himself with others and I think that this made him so endearing. He seemed to have lived and dreamed enough for 50 lives. He lived life fast and full of heart and soul. Life was something to plunge right into.

"Aaron's life journey was too short but the road was wide and rich. Aaron traveled more, met more people, made more enemies, more friends and loved ones than most of us ever will. And we are better for knowing him. For my family Aaron is our nephew, cousin, brother to my daughters, friend, our own personal jester and musician/singer. It has been a blessing for all of us to have shared that road with him. Even though I am much older, Aaron taught me more than I ever taught him. He is home now with God, in good company, and waiting for us. For me it is a comfort to know when I leave this Earth, Aaron will be waiting full of song with his roar of a lion laugh." All my love, Aunt Sandy

I am so sorry to hear of Aaron's sudden passing. My heart just aches for his family. Aaron was such a close and wonderful friend to me. The best anybody could ever even hope for. We always had so much fun. Aaron I Love You and I'll miss you.

a part of me died with aaron. I have never experienced such a loss. I find comfort in remembering all the good and bad times I spent with my brother. I am also not afraid to leave this earth knowing that my big brother will be waiting for me. I am looking forward to seeing him again. I love you aaron. christine

My prayers and deepest sympathy to the parents of Aaron. I am saddened by his sudden death. He was so full of life and goodness! May he be an example of all that is wonderful to all of us.

After seeing your family and visitors Sunday and Monday, we know there is so much love in your extended family. Please take comfort from knowing how much love and happiness you offered Aaron during his lifetime. Everything was done so beautifully -- we are sure Aaron is smiling his widest smile right now -- that will be forever up there.

love, barbara and earl

I had the privilege of knowing Aaron and living with him during our college days at KSU. He was a truly unique, generous and beautiful person with such passion for life. He made me laugh until my sides hurt and brought so much love and joy into my life. His talent and creativity was boundless. I will miss him deeply and my heart goes out to his family for their loss. God bless you.

I was terribly saddedned to hear of Aaron's passing. My heartfelt sympathy and prayers go out to his family members and friends. Mary always had a way of making me feel special, and of keeping me connected to Aaron's whereabouts and activities, even years after our BHS days. Mary always spoke of him with such pride, and there was much regarding Aaron of which to be proud. What a genuinely good person. What a tragic loss. I know he will be greatly missed.

My deepest sympathy goes out to the White family. I was so saddened to hear of Aaron's death. I used to babysit Aaron and Christine when they were very young. I have not seen them since they were little. I pray that God gives comfort and peace to Mary,Jim,Christine and other loved ones at this turning point in their lives and may their memories of Aaron live on forever. Dee Dee (Dunwald) Coleman

I was shocked and saddened to read Aaron's obituary in the paper yesterday afternoon. Aaron was such a talented young man. I will always remember the fun we had while working on his music and lines for the part of Harold Hill in "The Music Man" at BHS. My thoughts and prayers are with his family at this difficult time.



Ms. Jan Boling

My deepest condolenscences and heartfelt sympathies go out to Mr. & Mrs. White and Christine and family during this time of tragic loss. Ever since I learned of Aaron's passing, I have been flooded with memories of his kindness, incredible sense of humor and love of life. He was a beautiful spirit, and I feel so fortunate to have shared in his life. He will be so missed by everyone who knew him, but he'll be kept in our hearts forever.

I went to high school with Aaron and considered him a friend. I will always remember his kindness to all, his never ending smile and his awesome talent. I would like to extend my deepest sympathy to his family and friends. Your loss is Heavens gain!

Aaron will always be one of my favorite high school friends. He had such incredible talent and a terrific smile. My heart sincerely goes out to all of Aaron's family and friends.

Aaron was more than just my cousin, he was the brother I never had. I could always count on his honest opinions and good sense of humor. His beautiful spirit and deep soulful laugh will be with me the rest of my life. I will miss him everyday, but all the memories he left behind will help me through the hard times. I am comforted knowing that Aaron is waiting for me in heaven and I know he'll always be watching over us.

Thank you Aunt Mary and Uncle Jim for creating such an extraordinary life. And thank you God for blessing me with the opportunity to share in Aaron's life & love.

Aaron was one of my dearest friends in high school. I have great memories from Show Choir and the musicals. This was really quite a shock to me and my deepest sympathies go out to Mr. and Mrs. White, his sister and the rest of his family. Aaron was a beautiful person and the world has suffered a great loss.

Aaron was a dear friend to my husband and was a wonderful host to me when I arrived to the USA 4 years ago. He made us laugh and had an energy that filled the room.

We are so shocked and saddened -we are just blessed to have spent the time with him we could. Our deepest sympathies to his family.

I was so shocked and saddened when I heard about Aaron! I am so sorry Mr. and Mrs. White and Christine! I loved Aaron with all of my heart! He was my best friend for many years. I look back on our many adventures together often, and always laugh out loud! He was so full of life!! I will miss him! Jodi

Aaron's kindness & friendhip will never be forgotten. I am very saddened & shocked by this tragic loss. Much love goes out to Mr&Mrs White &family. Please know that all of us in Chicago are thinking if you at this time.

Aaron was my first love, and a part of my heart will always be set aside for him. Nobody has ever been more adept at stirring up emotions than Aaron White; even a fight with Aaron could be better than a laugh with somebody else. He will always be loved, and missed, and remembered.

Aaron was always bold, vibrant and passionate with everything in his life. He was a beautiful person with incredible spirit. That spirit will always live on and never be forgotten. His passion, animation and love will always be with me. Peace to him, his parents, sister, family and friends.

Aaron touched my life in a wonderful way. Thank you to Aarron for helping shape my life. And Thank You to his family for bring him into and up in this world to do that.

I'm am grateful to have known Aaron. My sincere appologies to Mr and Mrs White and to Christine.

Aaron's soul has always been larger than life, and now, it is finally set free. We will love him forever, and he will never be forgotten.

My sincere sympathies to Mary, Jim and Christine on such a huge loss. Aaron was a truly unique person! He had a zest and flair for life and all that it encompassed. His talents were many. I can't ever remember a time that he wasn't smiling or making me laugh. Just seeing him walk through the door of the IMC Department meant I was in for an exciting day. It meant my wardrobe would be rated and we would cover all the hot topics of the day and it just got funnier. I thank God for putting Aaron in my life. He was a treasure and will remain so. He will be greatly missed. Love, Karen

I remember growing up Aaron could always make me laugh. I will most definately miss him!!!!!
