    My condolences to the Roger’s family, I grew up with Aaron in Dillingham and he was my classmate, I was shocked to hear of his passing, his smile, mischief fun throughout our school year Ill remember, making a pyramid stack of people during the girls basketball games, cheering me on when I won a baking contest during beaver round up. And giving the teachers a hard time all in fun during class, Many other memories have come flooding back after learning of his passing. I always thought of him on February 11 as my birthday was the 12th and Sarah and Allison’s was the 13th. He is missed and i am very saddened by his passing.

    Aaron was a wonderful man, husband, father, and teacher who will be greatly missed. My condolences to his family. It was a privilege to know him. May your memories be a blessing.

    Aaron was a fun loving student who I was lucky enough to have in my Dillingham Elementary physical education classes. He was a good friend to many and I thoroughly enjoyed watching him grow up in a town where friends were family. I’m so impressed that he enjoyed NAU, as I did years before and even went on to get his masters. What a fine educator he must have been. May his family find comfort in knowing how many lives he touched and people he inspired. Gone far too soon. Rest easy Aaron. You left a legacy.
