Aaron was granted his wings after his battle with organ failure at Loyola Medical Center in Maywood, Illinois on Monday, November 30, 2020 at the age of 35. Aaron, affectionately known as “Giz”, attended the Joliet Public School System and graduated from Joliet Central High School. Aaron was an incredibly special person to everyone he met, he is a person who chose words wisely and made you think a little bit. Spending time with his family and friends is what he loved the most, he always helped his family and friends whenever needed. Aaron loved playing his games and I might say was a sports fanatic to the fullest, with the Chicago Cubs being his favorite. And can I say, he was the best dressed, he really had style and swagger about himself. He was truly the best!!!
