He went to work for Security Bank in 1996, later Regions Bank, and moved to Fayetteville to work for Arvest Bank until 2008, when he moved home to be closer to family.

I just found this site about Aaron. He was a good personal friend, friend to my family, fishing/ hunting partner, and caring church member. I am thankful he was in my life. And I know that he is in God's care now.
To Aaron's family..My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. I was a classmate of Aaron's at Bergman Elementary and high school many years ago before I moved. He was such a good friend and always made me laugh....He also made a visit several years ago to Florida to visit me and my husband...we had a great time. Even though we haven't seen him since then, we will always remember him...He was a great guy.

Tifany and family, the events of this past week have left us forever changed. I pray for peace and comfort to surround you and I know the Lord does indeed hear as all those who know you are lifting you up in prayer. The rekindling of my friendship with Aaron over two years ago will always be so special to me and he was a true friend to me at a time when I needed him the most. The funeral service was an uplifting tribute to his life. I will carry fond memories of Aaron in my heart always and i know he is now resting in peace.
