Aaron Lee Pace

At his very core, Aaron was a man who loved deeply. He loved to laugh and work hard. He loved his family and his son. He loved God, he prayed at dinnertime and at night. He loved fishing, being in the desert, aviator sunglasses, and he had an amazing sense of style. He loved music -- oldies, dance, lofi, EDM, rap (the C-Walk!), even country -- and loved to dance and breakdance. He loved his dumbbells, the gym, and working his abs and biceps. He loved to eat his mom’s cooking, lend a hand to his dad at The Ranch, and help his entire family lift heavy things. He was often referred to as “Aaron the Barbarian” and was a self-proclaimed businessman, yet an artist at heart.

If Aaron believed in you, you felt it -- deep to your core and his. He wanted everyone around him to be happy and gave amazing pep talks and the best hugs. He was calm, never yelled and taught us all about acceptance and loyalty. He was unbelievably strong.

We wish he was back on this earth. We wish we could have said goodbye. But we know he is in a better place, happy and out of pain. He was far too young to go and didn’t get to do everything he wanted in his life, so he will now do it living through us.

Aaron will forever be everyone's guardian angel.
