Aaron John Meyer. 18 years and 4 days. Went to heaven today. Well before his time. Well before we were ready to let him go. In his last weeks, Aaron was looking for a job to earn enough money to go back to Oregon for school in the fall. It appears Aaron printed a resume, maybe took it to apply for a job we don't know yet. Sometime around noon, he crashed.
His resume says it best:
Hard and dedicated worker
I have a great work ethic. I have developed social skills that allow me to work with a variety of people.
I'm looking for a job where I can give back to others. I need to give something to a business and provide it with several new opportunities.
Somebody missed out on a fine young man. Thank you God for the gifts we have.
I love you Aaron.
Peace
Dad

Rest in Peace Aaron!
We'll miss you
My thought and prayers are wuth you and your family
“I’ll Lend you my Child ...”
by Edgar Guest
I'll lend you for a little time, a child of mine, He said.
For you to love while he lives, and mourn when he is dead.
It may be six or seven years, twenty-two or three.
But will you, till I call him back, take care of him for me?
He'll bring his charms to gladden you, and shall his stay be brief,
You'll have his lovely memories as solace for your grief.
I cannot promise he will stay, since all from earth return.
But there are lessons taught down there I want this child to learn.
I've looked the wide world over in my search for teachers true,
And from the throngs that crowd life's lane, I have selected you.
Now will you give him all of your love, nor think the labor vain,
Nor hate me when I come to call, to take him back again?
I fancied that I heard them say, Dear Lord, thy will be done.
For all the joy thy child shall bring, the risk of grief we'll run.
We'll shelter him with tenderness, we'll love him while we may,
And for the happiness we've known, we'll ever grateful stay.
But shall the angels call for him much sooner than we planned,
We'll brave the bitter grief that comes and try to understand.
May God carry you through this. I am very sorry for your loss. Our prayers are with you
I am so sorry for your loss. I will pray for you and your family to have the strength to go on. I know what we say will never be adequate for the incredible loss you have suffered, but I also admire the incredible life you created and nurtured to a fine adult!
Aaron was one of a kind and a wonderful friend...he'll be in my heart forever.
Stay strong Meyer family
Do believe I'll never leave you:
Always I'll be in your heart.
Don't forget my soul is near you:
Death might take my presence from you,
Yet we'll never be apart.
Tom and Cathy, when you are with many, you can still feel so alone. When you are alone, know that many are with you.
"Life is an unbearable gift sometimes. Unbearably beautiful and unbearably painful, but always a gift."
My thoughts and prayers are with you!
Tom and family,
I am so sorry to hear about your loss of Aaron. I know how much you loved him and only wished him the best in life. In time, you will feel Aaron all around you and know that he is now a true angel watching over your family.
I am unable to be at the service but I will pray for peace of mind and strong of heart for all of you.
Love, Lilly
I am so sorry about your loss, although no words or emotions can describe what you are going through right now remember that God has a plan for everything. Although this may not help right now remember that heaven is supposed to be the happiest place, and although its hard for those of us still there, heaven is our ultimate goal and there aaron is...
I am so sorry about the loss of Aaron and the little i knew him i knew he was a great kid. Stay strong Meyer family.
Rest in Peace Aaron
always loved
Good to see you at work Tom.
We will never know the WHY, we will always know the LOVE!
John 3:16
