    To The Family of Aaron B. Caldwell

    I would like to express my deepest sympathy to each of you. Although we are not acquainted with one another, we are acquainted with the pain when our loved ones fall asleep in death.

    Our Heavenly Father feels the pain that you are going through. When he created the first Man and Woman it was his purpose that they and their offspring (including us) live forever without the effects of sickness and death.

    His purpose has not changed for he promises that the day is soon to come in which he will wipe away the tears of sorrow from our eyes forever and death will be no more. (Revelation 21:3-5)

    He promises too that your loved ones, my loved one and many other will hear his voice and come out of the memorial tombs (graves). (John 5:28,29)

  6. Wesley Poer on January 1, 1900 at 12:00 am

    Dear Aaron,
    I’m gonna miss you buddy. There aren’t that many people I know who give weekly phone calls just to see how i’m doing or what i’m up to. You had a big heart with unlimited room for friendships. I’ll be sure and rep “df dub” for you. RIP



  7. Joseph on January 1, 1900 at 12:00 am

    Double A

    It wasn’t suppose to be like this my man. I am sitll in disbelief that you are no longer with me and everyone else. Little did I know how close you can get to somebody after four months of living with them. I will never forget how we use to watch Seinfeld everyday at 4 o’clock, or how I use to kick your butt all the time in Madden, except for that one time you beat me. I’ll never forget how we use to tear up the driving range, and how we would get up every Tuesday and Thursday at 6:30 in the morning for class. Perhaps I took for granted your overly friendly disposition, and now only that you are gone do I realize what I have lost. Double A, your existential thoughts and witty humor were such a delight, and this world would be such a better place with more people like you. May your heart always be joyful, your song always be sung, and Aaron may you stay forever young. Until we meet again good buddy.



  8. Carolyn Micek on January 1, 1900 at 12:00 am

    I feel fortunate to have been able to get to know Aaron over this past year. He was a generous person and a spark of light to everyone he met. Sending my deepest sympathies to his family, Carolyn

    TO MY SON WHO WILL BE REMEMBERED FOREVER
    I MISS YOU AND I LOVE YOU
    DAD



  10. Andra Beatty on January 1, 1900 at 12:00 am

    My daughter Renee was a good friend of Aaron’s from his High School days. I remember meeting him back then at his home and thinking what a nice young man. One cold night the girls and I were out in the pasture with the horses trying to unload a Round Bale of Hay off my truck. We could not get it to budge. Renee called Aaron, he was nearby and he and his friend came to help. It took them just minutes to push that round bale off my truck. We were so very thankful for there help.
    Aaron was just down here in Texas last month visiting in our office with Jason and Renee. He was a wonderful friend to them, a really nice person and so full of life. My prayers are with his family and friends tonight for your great loss of a true friend. May God be with you now and forever in this time of loss and sadness.



  11. Teri Bybee on January 1, 1900 at 12:00 am

  18. Everett Bias on January 1, 1900 at 12:00 am

    I would like to say on the behalf of the Bias family that we were blessed that Aaron was a friend of our son Gantrell at the University of Kansas. Based on what Gantrell has shared with us, Aaron had an impact on his life. Please know that we are sadden by his un-timely death and that we will indeed pray for the faily as you have requested. May the Lord Christ Jesus continue to dwell with you all during this time of loss and in the wonderful memories that you have of Aaron.

    With our prayers,

    Mr.& Mrs Bias

    Karen, may you find the grace and inspiration to move forward with your life in spite of this profoundly difficult transition. Your community is surrounding you with an abundance of light and love. May it feed you at every level of life. samantha



  20. Scott Keeling on January 1, 1900 at 12:00 am

    Karen, I am so, so sorry to hear about your lose of Aaron. Such a shock…Sending lots of love, light and Reiki to you and your family.



  21. Matt Hammond on January 1, 1900 at 12:00 am

    Aaron was such a great person. Even though I didn’t know him too well every time I saw him on campus at KU he would say hi and talk for a bit. He will be missed greatly.



  22. Warren Parker on January 1, 1900 at 12:00 am

    I have been acquainted with Aaron since we had a statistics class the summer before last. We became friends over this summer while taking classes for the business minor. I am a non-traditional student and do not fit the mold of what people are usually looking for in a friend at KU. Aaron reached out and made me his friend. He worked hard in academics. He motivated me to do better than I ever have in the classes we had together. Aaron had a very optimistic outlook on life. He was looking forward to graduation and had a new business idea every week. Last week he was telling me how much he was looking forward to getting his car back so we could stop driving around in my ?piece of crap? as he so affectionately called it. He did everything he could to help me fit in better, from advice on how to dress to introducing me to the fine people who called him a friend. We could literally not go anywhere in Lawrence without him running into another of his friends. I have never met someone who had such a large impact on my life in such a short time. I learned much from Aarons approach to life. The qualities I admired most were his fearlessness and his determination. Nothing stood in his way. He spoke of his parents and family in the highest regard. He was very proud of his family. His family has much to be proud of for creating such unique and caring individual. I greave for the time Aaron and I will not have together and for his family and friends who miss him as much as I do. It seems inconceivable that I will never again get a voicemail that always began ?Hey Buddy!? Aaron Caldwell, I was proud to call you my friend.



  23. Kathy and Roger Siuda on January 1, 1900 at 12:00 am

    Roger and I are so very sorry for your loss. We send our love and our heartfelt sympathy to you and the family at this difficlt time. Much love, Kathy and Roger

We hope you will find solace in knowing that Aaron is home with our Lord, safe and at peace. His light will continue to shine upon all the lives who knew him. Blessings to you and your family, Stan & Tamera



  25. George Harris on January 1, 1900 at 12:00 am

    I am so sorry and wish that I could carry your grief for you all if even for a moment.



  26. Dale on January 1, 1900 at 12:00 am

    I will always remember the active and happy little boy who never wanted to sit on the dock at Grandpa and Grandma Harrison’s lake home because he’d rather be in the water. I know he will be missed by all who knew him.



  27. Gage Korobka on January 1, 1900 at 12:00 am

    To family and friends Aaron was a great person and my deepest sympathy is with you.



  28. Rosemary on January 1, 1900 at 12:00 am

    Sincerely,

  40. Tom Garzillo on January 1, 1900 at 12:00 am

    Bruce always spoke with pride in his son and his “energy for life”. My prayers are with all his family. Aaron’s picture looks so much like a young version of his dad – I’m sure he too would have been a great father someday.



  41. Denise Kay on January 1, 1900 at 12:00 am

    Karen and family

    Words are trivial here – but are all we have to express initially our sorrow but then our support. May whatever you need in this time be provided in abundance as you honor and celebrate Aaron’s life and learn to live with his loss.

    Love and prayers!

    Denise



  42. Janora Solis on January 1, 1900 at 12:00 am

    Karen,
    I am sorry about the loss of your son. I know what it feels like to lose a child. I lost my daughter in 2000. Trying to be strong for everyone else does take a told on you. Allow yourself the time to grieve. I know it is hard to do. Please never forget, that you are not alone for God is with you always. I have you and your family in my prayers. I am sending Gods infinite peace and comfort to you. God will see you through this. There is a song by Nichole Nordeman called Legacy that helped me get through my pain.

  46. Larry Keener on January 1, 1900 at 12:00 am

    Karen, may the God of all Comfort console you and your family in this time of loss. However, there is no loss in the Divine. Aaron is now enjoying an advanced expanded state from his life on this plane, and you to thank for being the very best mother through it all.

  50. Stephanie Young (Speake) on January 1, 1900 at 12:00 am

    I feel blessed to have had the chance to grow up with Aaron. He is a very kind-hearted one, and truly knew how to have a little mischief mixed in with the fun. Karen, maybe you will smile when you remember the time we went on our first ski trip and Aaron and Kyle went to ski school and within the first couple of hours, decided to go off and have some fun of their own. We were all very worried, but they were fine, having the time of their lives, “skiing” the black slopes. He knew that he wanted to have the chance to have fun, so he took it and ran with it! What a boy!! To Aaron’s family and friends, you are all in my thoughts and prayers.
    Stephanie



  51. Ralph Textor on January 1, 1900 at 12:00 am

    Dear Karen and family,

    My prayers are with you. May God’s grace and peace be with you during this time of loss.



  54. Chloe McBride on January 1, 1900 at 12:00 am

    I am so sorry for your loss and my thoughts and prayers are with you. I feel blessed to have the limited time I was given with Aaron and he has truly changed my life in more ways than I can express. In true Aaron form, I met him my freshman year when he started a conversation with me on the bus back to my dorm. We would chit chat every Tuesday and Thursday on the 4:30 bus that went downtown to his loft apartment. He inspired me to pick my sorority over another and because of him I feel my college experience was changed forever. Our conversations continued for weeks and I looked forward to Aaron?s warmth and humor to accompany me on my way home. With a new semester came a new bus route and to my dismay I lost touch with Aaron. It took me until this summer to reunite with him. Now a junior, I did not put together that he was the boy on the bus until recently but despite not knowing each other we instantly started a friendship during marketing class. I took notes for him and never missed a class because I knew he would give me a hard time. I looked forward to seeing him and whenever I was having a bad day his compliments on my note taking ability instantly cheered me up. I was sad when our month in class together ended, however, we were quickly reunited this fall in business decision making and management. He became one of my best friends. I grew accustomed to his five calls a day and while at first I was annoyed, I grew to rely on them to fill up my day. I regret so deeply that we have spent the last three weeks mad at each other. I wish that I could take back that time, but I know that I took for granted that Aaron and I would soon get over our problems to be instant friends again. He was so kind and I can honestly say that I have never seen Aaron be anything but nice to anyone. While it is too late to apologize, I hope that Aaron knew in his heart how much I loved him as a person. Not a second goes by that I don?t long to hear his voice over the phone. That awkward call he would always make, the long pause after we said hello where he came up with some excuse to call. I am devastated to know that he is gone but I know his smile, his energy, and his overall love of life will stay with me forever. I want to thank you for raising such an outstanding individual and I am truly sorry for your loss.



  55. Steve Greenberg on January 1, 1900 at 12:00 am

  56. Meredith on January 1, 1900 at 12:00 am

    Words cannot express the sympathy I feel for you and your family.
    I like to compare Aaron to that of a dimmer switch. When he walked into a room it got brighter. He had so much energy, vitality and love for life and other people. He just made you want to smile. His photo on the beach is a great example of that.
    He loved travel and adventure.
    Blessings and love,
    Dr. Mary Meeker-Pregon

    Dear Karen and family,
    I am deeply sorry to hear about your precious son, Aaron. There is no pain deeper and more cutting than the sense of loss of our children. Though you will miss him, he will be with you in every moment. I will pray for you to have patience. This life is so temporary, and you will see your beloved Aaron again. Take heart in knowing that he knows how much he is loved, and how much you are loved by others.
    Sincere regards,
    Karen

  88. Melissa A. Manning on January 1, 1900 at 12:00 am

    Aaron was a student who came to me in Disability Resources for his classroom accommodations, and for advocacy. He never gave up, he worked hard to have a bright future. I will miss seeing Aaron, and I am sad to hear of this death.

  90. Shannon Stevens on January 1, 1900 at 12:00 am

    Members of Aaron’s Family
    I never met Aaron, but wish to express my sincere condolences to his friends and family. After reading Aaron’s obituary, I am reminded of a line from “Messiah’s Handbook” by Richard Bach: “The only thing that matters, at the end of a stay on earth, is how well did you love? What was the quality of your love?” It appears that Aaron loved and was loved to the highest extent and quality. May this love continue to teach and comfort you.



  91. Leslie Utiss on January 1, 1900 at 12:00 am

    To the family, you are in my prayers, I am so sorry for your loss at such a young age. Bonnie I am thinking of you.

    Blessings to you!!

  103. Jim Bauch on January 1, 1900 at 12:00 am

    I am sorry for our loss as any that met and took a little time to get to know Aaron discovered a very bright somewhat a free spirit who cared deeply for those around him. Knowing Aaron I know that while he would want us to grieve he would also want us to celebrate a life too shortened and to embrace his family and lift them up. Namaste

    Karen dear heart,
    I wish you the condolences of my heart at this sad time. It sounds as though Aaron lived many lifetimes in this one, bearing physical discomforts with a brave and happy heart. I cannot imagine how difficult this is for you. May you have comfort in knowing he has moved onward and upward in the evolution of his soul. I will pray to Mother Mary and Kuan Yin for the comfort flame to envelope you and your family, and to bring Aaron safely to his next experiences in the higher planes of life.
    Much love,
    Gae



  108. Gail Zukav-Ross and Family on January 1, 1900 at 12:00 am

    Dearest Family of Aaron, there can be no greater loss than you are experiencing. May it somehow help to know that each of you are held in the hearts of all those who care for you and for Aaron. May you find a way to comfort one another. May you be given a way to channel your grief into something that will eventually bring meaning to your current pain. Aaron’s light burns brightly still. May each of you find a way to reflect it to others though your own life and to each other as a family. We send our prayers for strength and blessings to each of you during this most difficult of life’s experiences, even though we may not have met all of you. With loving sympathy ~Gail Zukav-Ross, David, Libby, and Jonathan Ross

    Bruce,
    No bond is as great as that between a parent and child. Aaron was a bright, young man taken to soon from this world. God must have bigger plan for Aaron which we don’t understanding or why now. Your family are with you as you grieve.



  119. William Earl Evans on January 1, 1900 at 12:00 am

    My sincerest sympathies go out to you, Aaron’s dad, other family members and all others who, like myself, never met Aaron but, through you,his mother, knew him.

  122. Jack and Aunt Tanda Skinner on January 1, 1900 at 12:00 am

    Bruce,Bonnie & Karen
    Though we didn’t see Aaron that often. I remember his younger years, the blonde tow headed & big grin little guy running around at his grandfathers (Lenart Caldwell) back yard parties in Gladstone, Mo.
    He will be missed. Take comfort in knowing that now you have a special guardian angel to watch over you.



  123. Nikki Johnson on January 1, 1900 at 12:00 am

    Though I didn’t know Aaron very well, each time I saw him he always had a big smile and a friendly hello and hug. Aaron was genuine and you could tell he loved people. I know Aaron touched many lives and he will be missed by many.



  124. Karen Waymire on January 1, 1900 at 12:00 am

    Aaron- Bro just thinking about you with everything going on right now…. I wish you were here more than you could ever know. I can’t find anyone that even holds a candle to you. I will forever and always remember you that weekend the calls where I was everything. You never were and never will be an easy person to forget. I love you bro and wish the best for you and your family.
