Aaron loved anything to do with music, in his younger years he would often be seen wearing headphones listening to mixtapes he created himself. He worked for many years as a DJ in Boston Nightclubs entertaining many residents and visitors in the city. Aaron was a family man through and through. He loved spending time with his children, who were his pride and joy and most important to him. He was a gentle, kind, generous and loving man. He always wanted to make people laugh and could light up a room with his infectious laugh and smile. Aaron was an avid sports fan, who believed the Celtics or Patriots won a game because he was wearing his lucky jersey. He will be greatly missed by his loved ones and friends.
