Aaron married the love of his life, Heidi Klassen on July 7, 2007. They have 2 children: Maizy Sue and Layla Sande. Aaron loved spending time with his family, and was the best person, friend, husband, and father that anyone could ever hope for.

He was an avid outdoorsman, enjoying spending time on the water fishing, skiing and boating, as well as going for road trips, camping, grilling, hiking, downhill skiing, and enjoying the great outdoors. Aaron was always working on projects and willing to lend a helping hand. He had many talents including carpentry, drawing, playing guitar and harmonica, and singing. He had the unique ability to put people in a good mood just by being around them, and was generous, helpful, and kind to everyone. He was a huge fan of the Minnesota Vikings, and watching games with him was both entertaining and deafening. He will always be remembered for his contagious laugh and larger than life personality. If Aaron was in a room, you knew he was there! He loved talking to people and keeping busy. Aaron lived his life spontaneously and fearlessly. He never let fear keep him from trying something new.
